I found another one: www.studentteacherexchange.com They don't take a percentage and seems completely free. It's new, so kind of empty right now, but I think they just started so could be booming quite soon. Yeah, quite nice!

LearnIt is a cool site. Thanks for the tip. As far as eduFire is concerned, it's definitely not inexpensive to work with a private tutor but we feel it's the best way to learn a language. The cool thing about video chat is that if you're more price sensitive you can find a tutor in a country with a favorable exchange rate who charges a lower rate (e.g., a Spanish tutor in Argentina). As more people use eduFire and our inventory of tutors grows we expect there to be more low-cost alternatives for tutors and classes. If you're ever interested in writing up eduFire or offering some free sessions to your readers just drop me a line at jon at edufire dot com and I'll hook it up. Thanks!

Learning languages via online tutors. Nothing special but the community is the tutor. www.edufire.com Maybe this can help you to learn French. Good luck!
