Recommend some free language exchange sites, along the lines for Huitalk but not filled with scamming Nigerians

italki.com is pretty good, especially if you are learning an East Asian language and are a native speaker of English, I've never had a shortage of people to talk to.
On the internet topic, what's everybody's favorite online dictionary for their foreign language of choice?
nciku.com
mdbg.net (not as many features, but faster because of less bloat, and can translate all the words you copy-paste into it, rather than one at a time)
are great for Chinese, particularly because they have features that can't fit in a regular dictionary (example sentences, both simplified and traditional, audio recordings, stroke order, etc.).
Anybody have a good Japanese one for me to play around with?

Sharedtalk.net is pretty good, though you have to deal with millions of dumbass Brazilians that can't get it through their head you don't want to teach them English, other than that there's tons of people for most languages.
