Learnng a foreign langauge
I am seeking input on what would be the best way to learn a foreign language, in my case Spanish.

I listen to the radio all day while working, and I figure I might as well make that time productive in another way.

I would also love an interactive app or entire program that will work over an Ipad, computer, etc.

In addition, I plan to attend local classes for direct interaction.


Any input is welcome. Gracias.

I just started Spanish1 at my local college. Most of the kids in the class have taken Spanish in HS and are there for the credits/review. I'm twice as old as they are and I struggle a bit more. I have been enjoying the class and my teacher is cool.

I have a test this evening.

I had French in High School, and about 15 hours in college. I just remember dirty phrases now. I could swear pretty well in French at one time.

I'm trying to learn Spanish as well. I had a very good tutor - 4 hours class/week + homework + a test at the end of 3 weeks. I learned a ton in 6 weeks. Now I'm in a more low key class - 3 hours/week and I'm finally starting to get some of it. Vocab is still by far the hardest part for me.

Apps and podcasts are good, but no substitute for an interactive class or tutor imo.

I took a 6 week course on German before moving to Austria. Tapes and workbook were good. Nothing beats actually living there though.

I live near two cities that are 60% Hispanic. Immersion should be easy to come by, and most people are pretty nice even if I am a gringo.

I started French at age 7 in Catholic School but it was mainly conversational expressions and some prayers. Had it 4 years of high-school and was my second major first two years of college at a Catholic College. When you can start thinking in the language without translating in your mind, that's when you're fluent. When I got drunk at parties, I would only speak French too. I could read novels and write it. Actually I read it better than I spoke it, as I found when in France. Did not know how to ask where the bathroom was. Had a French boyfriend while there who spoke no English. That helped too.

Never used it once I came home from Europe. So I have forgotten most of it.
