Any one here ever use a CD or Tapes to learn a language?

Which one did you use?

Was it any good?

I learned Ebonics,......

from this hip dude down on 53 and broad..

now im off hizzle fo shizzle

When I want to chat with someone who speaks a different language online, I use a program called Babylon. You just type what you want to say and it translates it - pretty cool. I'm too lazy to learn another language!

Some of the best movies I've seen are the Foreign ones, the sub titles drove me nuts tho...lol...

Muy Bueno amigos,

but I am looking for a CD/Tape system to learn Russian.

I used some of this autotranslators

I asked the guy to clear off the site as he was a pain
it translated "Get of because my submarine is full of eels"

I'm going to get the Rosetta Stone one's.. I heard they are really great at teaching new languages...

don't tell me the Russian Brides are getting to you too

so true Quiet.. Although I do know a few that speak more than one... A couple that speak about 5.. I of course am not one of those, unless we're talking cursing... I can curse in about 3 or 4 languages...

I speak 3 , where do i stand?

I'm up to about 7 languages now, easiest way is to find someone who is fluent and practice practice practice.


But if you're wanting an actually book/audio to help you Rosetta Stone's are the way to go. It's what the UN, Peace Corp and Government use to train their staff to learn it accurately and quickly. It comes with the CD, Cd-roms and you can actually practice and recite and hear the errors for your pronounciation to work on it

Good Luck, Russian is one of the harder onces to learn especially if you're looking to become fluent reading with the cyrllic alphabet

Romeo you're one of the lucky one's...

Thanks Prncs

It's actually 2 languages

BS does not count

same here...although my Russian is a bit rusty now. I'm thinking about 3 more, french, spanish and german, I know spanish would be easiest for me.

While i agree , Rosetta is good , if your looking to learn on the cheap , pimsluer is very good . And you dont need a computer for it , since its audio

And which one did you use?????

Pimsluer? I've never heard of it... Rosetta is a bit expensive.. I guess worth it...
