Any good and free/cheap resources for learning Mandarin?

I second both of these. Hello Chinese is excellent, and while the thread question asks for free/cheap, I can't recommend premium enough. The podcasts are excellent, and the recently added character practice has helped me tremendously.
Pleco should be considered a baseline learning tool.
Good to know, I've thought about asking for a year of premium for my bday!
