I want to re-learn Spanish. (I was decent in high school, but have since forgotten).<br><br>
I downloaded a bunch of podcasts of spanish lessons. I'm going to do this <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> It's such a pretty language and I think it could only help me in life.

We should post to each other in Spanish. I need to pick it back up again, too <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

If you can afford it, buy "Rosetta Stone". It's a phenomenal program. I have the German I and II and I can't believe how effective it is for learning a foreign language. I'm getting the Spanish version also, because here in Houston, Spanish is a good thing to learn!

I had thought about that, but they have them for free on Itunes. I'll see how that goes first. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I downloaded about a dozen spanish podcasts as well as german. I didn't find them very helpful<br><br>
you can get a free demo of Rosetta Stone (from their website).. You'll be able to try out all the languages and see what you think..<br><br><br>
Good luck!<br><br><br>

Hey Rich,<br><br>
Can you explain to me a little about this program? A lot of people are always asking me about it (I'm a foreign language teacher) and I have no idea. I'd like to try it for something like Dutch or Japanese that I'd like to learn. How often do you use it and for how long? Is it only oral/aural or do you have a workbook to write in? Is it strictly conversational stuff or grammar as well?<br><br>
Thanks! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Good luck, Jenna! PM me if you have a question about Spanish! <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

hot tips - watch TV, listen to the radio and read newspapers in Spanish

 

[wherestheportojohn]

hotter tip: be the literacy teacher of ELL [english language learners] students<br><br><br><br>
their parents speak almost no english<br><br>
and my spanish sux rocks after years of not practicing<br><br><br><br><br>
it is very entertaining watching the give and take of SPANGLISH during my conferences

 

[muzicgrl]

Sorry. That's the extent of my Spanish knowledge.
