Rosetta Stone isn't very good, in my opinion.

My first choice is Latin.

ive taken a few spanish classes in highschool and it was a pain to write everything and have it perfect, i need like that rosetta stone shit!
has anyone tried those programs?

i've been using it for like the last month to brush up on my german. i think it's a good tool for reviewing, i'm not sure if i could actually use it to learn a language though. i guess i'll let you know how it goes once i can find a working copy of russian...

depends on how bad you want to learn it, or of course, what kind of learner you are.

eventually, when i get laid off again this year, i'll be continuing my russian classes at college, so if you have the extra money, then that would be your best option i would think, as you can get extra help with the things you're struggling with.

my first russian class was 400. i don't think it goes up in price until around my 8th class, which would be two years worth of learning.

but go ahead and buy(read: download) rosetta stone, and see if it works for you.

or you could always go to a bookstore and get a book on tape...

I used to speak spanish a lot when I worked construction in cali and lived in a spanish speaking home. It's slowly withering away now

In HS I was almost at the point f being fluent in Japanese.... very unique language and enjoyed learning it.... although not that useful I would choose Spanish if you were looking for something to help you in everyday life, esp for some jobs

You cant learn a language in the classroom. Sure you can learn how to ask for directions, but will you be able to understand a native when he talks? Maybe if he says he likes the biblioteca.

it's just a language that's really interesting to me. i like how it looks, i like how it sounds, i like a challenge.

after taking german in high school i could understand and converse with natives...

it's just like learning lots of stuff. sure you can learn the basics of construction in a classroom, but once you get out and start building houses you'll realize it's different, you just have to apply and change what you know.

i used to love running into german people on xbox live and talking to them. obviously they knew it wasn't my primary language, just like when someone comes up to me speaking broken english i can tell, but you can definately learn the jist(gist?) of a language in school, then it all depends on how you'll use that knowledge to expand on it.

obviously the best way to learn a language though is to immerse yourself in it. i.e. if you want to learn german, go live in germany.

Well you are exceptionable. I'd take advantage of that and pursue a language in the classroom even further.

i'd love to be fluent in french, spanish, portuguese, mandarin and cantonese chinese, arabic, hindu, swahili, russian and japanese..... with no hint of an accent. very few places in the world you couldn't be and not have someone to talk to.

you would also be a genius. lol
