Best way to learn a new language?
 

I know about Rosetta Stone, is it that good?
I'm thinking about learning Russian

Date Russian girls that only speak a tiny bit of English.... It's the best motivator. :)





.

Try Seemile.com there are some basic Russian classes for English speakers there. It's free.

smart guy :)

language immersion

I will chat with you and teach you online. Pay monies.

Unless you are around it, learning a language well is difficult. Books and CDs will only take you so far, you need to be having real conversations (or trying) in the language you want to learn.

also good for: romanian, czech, cause the average model from there speaks english for shit

go and live somewhere you will have to listen and speak it.

Move there...

GF might have a problem with that, LOL
Looks promising for a start, thanx
I'm going to be working with Russian speaking people, they speak English too, but I figure this is a good chance to learn something new

Teach me online :) I pay monies

I need to learn Spanish. I'm thinking Rosetta Stone too.

I really liked Pimsleur.

Here is Russian lesson 1. On the video, Change quality to 480p so it won't sound all messed up.

I've got some girls that can teach you Romanian for a small fee LOL

watch spanish tv.. a lot of it is familurization.. we didn't learn from memory with english right?

Watch a dvd of a movie you know well and add the spanish subtitles.. will pick up a lot that way too.

$3.99 per minute is not a small fee :1orglaugh

++ Rosetta Stone

This is the best one but not exactly easy :P

Walk through Little Havana in Miami if you ever want to learn Spanish.
</sarcasm>

What is the Romanian word for happy ending? :1orglaugh

Rossetta is great

Speak louder in English.

Just move there for 6 months, you'll be forced to learn. Just like swimming!

Has anyone that is recommended Rosetta Stone actually learned a language with it. It seems boring and repetitive to me.

move to that country and live by yourself

I have a ebook that will show you how to learn any language in 15 seconds, it's really amazing! Let me know if you want the link... :laughing-

Immersion if you want to speak it.

If you study only with a program/book/audio you'll be able to read and listen but you'll be lacking in speaking since you won't have a chance to pick up the "music" of the language without hearing it around you constantly.

Also, unless you have a knack for languages, learning another one as an adult is hell. However, I keep being told if you can get it under your belt, #3 is easier.

+2 - A friend of mine, an electrical engineer from Spain said he tried Chinese course and in 10 days he could get around Chinatown pretty easily. I think I am going to try it to learn Thai. Immersion is the best. I learned Arabic that way.

I learned Russian while I was living in Kazakhstan surrounded by Russian speaking people. Really helps.

For starters there is this RussianPod101 - there are some useful videos on Youtube

Yep definitely the best way.

Rosetta Stone is a MASSIVE con trick/ponzi scheme.

My method (fastest I know) and tested on language that you want to know (Russian):

- 3 months of learning with some local private teacher (60 classes)
- then 3 months in Russia (winter, temparatures were go to ~ -20C / -4F )

theory + practice, working like a charm, so I am speaking Russian very decent. But...

when I tried this with SPANISH...
- learned something with Spanish teacher few months
- went 2 months on Ibiza, Costa del Sol, and few other cities on coast

MY SPANISH SUMMARY: spent more than 10K eur + forgot everything I learned with local teacher + learned ~100 Spanish words + got some hard genital infection and 20 and something injections of some hard antibiotic + needed 15 days to recover from this language 'learning'

So,CONCLUSION IS: This method only works on places where is cold so girls have a lot of clothes.

LOOP: IF girls are pretty naked in bikinis and so on, THEN this method don't work, ELSE is OK.

6 months to learn to swim after being thrown off a boat might be too long :upsidedow

Immersion

it's helpful, and helps you think in a different language, but definitely some gaps in there yeah..

looking at a few of these ideas, let you know, in russian, how it went

My english was taught by stripper. Best way to learn and make new friends at the same time :)
