Oh and I have Rosetta Stone for French and Spanish but I am so lazy and have never even tried them yet :|

Spanish is my first language.

English.


I would like to learn more Arabic, I can say some words but I can't read or write it. Also Portuguese.

Jeg snakker litt Norsk. I've been there 4 times and mostly learned by immersion. I also worked as a nanny in Denmark for a year after college, so learned Danish also. They are quite similar actually and if you understand one you can understand the other. Danish is more unnatural to speak because it is so guttural and lacks the "melody" that Norwegian has. Finnish is completely different from Norwegian, Swedish or Danish - I don't understand one word of it!!

I don't have a burning desire to lean another language...but Spanish would be the most useful in my work environment.

English (mother tongue) and Hebrew. I learned Hebrew while living in Israel (for 10 years). I studied French for 3 years, but unfortunately remember very little of it.

I'd love to relearn French in addition to Japanese and Yiddish.

I speak English (native language), functional in French & some Lithuanian. I would like to improve my Lithuanian & maybe learn Spanish.

Studied to be a translator in college, still working on that though.

I speak German and sort of speak French, though I don't use French often enough. I studied Spanish and Latin in grade school. I can read a bit of Russian and Polish, not much. I've been working on Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish on my own for the past few years. I used books and CDs and watched movies and listened to music in languages to learn them, mostly, before or instead of taking classes. I lived in Germany for a while also.

I try to use German every day though, and French when I think of it, but I am mostly focusing on Danish and Norwegian now.

Anything on amazon.com that has books and CDs both, and as many as possible.

I DON'T recommend Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone so much however, just because these are way overpriced and you are better off getting various books and CDs which use the same sorts of methods. I like the Colloquial and Teach Yourself series, and these can be had for cheap if you get them used. Also a good dictionary is important, not one of the little cheapie ones. And above all, exposing yourself to the language as much as possible doing FUN stuff. Watching movies, listening to music, and later, reading good novels/magazines/websites rather than making it a chose doing exercises out of books. I think the results are just faster if you bombard yourself with as many things as possible, listening to music in the language and buying a bunch of different books/audio CDs rather than just one program.
