suedenim Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Rosetta Stone. The missus is using it to learn french and appears to be doing very well. Pimsleur is handy especially if you spend a lot of time in a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blooz1 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 The only thing wrong with using a "program" vs. learning from a native speaker is that you don't get exposed to the vernacular of the language. Â Try speaking "Parisian" French to a Quebecois or a true Cajun in Louisiana, and see how far you'll get! Same thing with "Mexican" Spanish vs. a native of Columbia or Puerto Rico.

AnUnknownSource Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 There was a guy in basic training with me that didn't speak English when he got there...  after 6 weeks he speaks it just fine   I'm about to go see if there's a Japanese rosetta stone...

suedenim Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 The localised dialects always get you. I've lived in the UK all my life but there are regions where I will never ever understand what the hell is being said, even though they are supposedly speaking english. You can read their newspaper but speaking on the street you're basically a foreigner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Wow, that's a riot, Suedenim! Â Like the gypsies in "Snatch", speaking "pikey". Or all the Scots whackos in "Trainspotting"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReelFiles Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 When I moved here I knew very little English, mostly what I learned from MTV and the bit we were taugth in school. I moved here by myself so I had nobody to speak German to. I didn't consider myself as speaking fluent English until I actually started thinking in English. I see people who have been here two or three times as long as me and still don't speak proper English, and that's because when they go home they speak their native language. The only way to learn a language properly is to force yourself to learn it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
