My daughter, now 6, has been using Signed Exact English (SEE) since she was 14 months old. Creation for Little Sprouts by Soul Seeds Videos is really nice for toddlers.
We started listening to the CDs with Junior Power-Glide for French since she was 3 years old and some other French teaching CDs, like from Twin Sisters. I am hoping to get Tell Me More French soon (more for me at this time than for my daughter).
She started Latin's Not So Tough at four, which I have got to say learning Latin vowels helped quite a bit with those exceptions to the typical rule with English phonics. I did make sure she was solid with English phonics before introducing the Latin, and from my experience with it, I think it is a shame that this is not suggested as a common practice.
I am planning to begin introducing Andrew Teach Me Some Greek sometime this year. I also have Junior Power-Glide Spanish probably for a few years from now. There are plenty of classes available for Spanish around here too.

my ten year old did three years of french immersion in public school before changing over to english in grade four (she just finished grade five in PS, we're new homeschoolers, starting this fall) so she has a pretty good base of knowledge (for lack of a better phrase?) in french -- i also have several family members who speak french and speak some myself (though i'm not bilingual), so we'll keep up her french instruction, but not really with a "program" .. just with speaking, reading, etc.....
she *does* have an interest as well in something that would perhaps fall under "language", though it's not really language so much as another form of reading & writing english ---- her younger brother is blind and is beginning to learn braille... she's quite taken with it herself and has been learning some - though she's learning to read it visually as opposed to reading with her fingertips

We're teaching French to our children. We live in a bilingual province, and my entire family is French-speaking (mostly first-language). My kids grow up hearing French, even though it's not the primary language in our home. Josh is just starting kindergarten, and I'm including the basic French vocabulary as part of his curriculum this year.
Starting with first grade, we'll most likely use the public school French curriculum.
