I may not necessarily be the best person to answer your question as I'm 
only a novice language learner, but I've been learning Spanish on DuoLingo 
[0]. I'm not sure if it teaches conversationally, but it is cost-free and 
fun! They claim it is effective, and also have values of opening up global 
opportunities through English proficiency. It was started by a Duke 
alumnus, so what's not to like?

In fact, I recommend it to everyone, there are so many languages to learn 
on Duo! And even if you're not interested in learning a language, you 
should definitely watch the duocon talk by Sohla El-Waylly [1] and learn 
how to make tapioca cheese puffs; you won't be disappointed! (there were 
other talks about language-related things too)
