french is pretty easy, expect for verb conjugation. There's some weird stuff in there.
lolUh huh.
By the way, the BBC has some good language series, but if you want to learn German I find that Deutsche-Welle English has a free audio series that is pretty good.
The more languages you learn, the easier it becomes to learn languages. Everything "clicks". Check out Romanian. It's pretty simple, has rules much like English but it isnt' backwards like English is.
Oh yeah. English is spoken backwards.
Try Chinese
Here's my review...i used part of the mandarin rosetta stone, but i don't have enough time for it right now....Mandarin is the official main dialect of China. There are hundreds, but Mandarin is it.
1) you get what you put into it. if you want to learn to count, colors, actions, common nouns, it's great. you MUST spend several hours a week working on it or it's pointless.
2) you need to use a headset and practice speaking it. it will only help...
I personally wouldn't pay the $3xx dollars for the program. It's wayyyy too much money for it. But if you can "borrow" it, then all the better.
mandarin and spanish are VERY different though. the sounds and pronunciations are crucial. plus, unless you are around a language all day, you wont learn it as well.
and yes, i would spend $1000 to learn a language at a conversational level.
will rosetta stone get you there? no
will it help you learn vocabulary? yes
combine that with a tutor or being surrounded by the language 4 hours a day will get you fluent.
i know, it doesn't take much to shock chinese people....
i went to a party at marsha's parents house recently. I was eating dinner and a lady comes up to me and says, "oh look, he can use chopsticks."
like, wtf. do i look like a barbarian caucasian? should i be eating with my hands out of a bowl on the floor?
where did i say that?and nick, are you saying i shouldnt learn the basic vocabulary and such first?
I can never get enough of it! even more so when white people are sitting around waiting for carry out.
Ah ha. That's the problem- you're going into "Chinese" restaurants that have white people in them.
