maybe true:) but horny desperate guys will do everything, including learning ugly asian languages. no pun intended:)Well-informed, a formerly-frequent poster from Washington Heights, NYC, was interested in doing something similar, by putting all of his posts en español...even Jeygonza agreed too. Well let's take SkateboardStephen's-Well-informed's idea and make it work, right?skateboardstephen wrote:Why is there not a foreign language section where we can talk about ,write and practice foreign languages,give tips to each other and answer questions about grammar a regional dialects.

Yeah, that's a great idea to improve this site!skateboardstephen wrote:Why is there not a foreign language section where we can talk about ,write and practice foreign languages,give tips to each other and answer questions about grammar a regional dialects.

I'm finding this to be the most interesting part of the program as I study Russian. It is actually a practical application of how I hope to use the language once I get to an FSU country.Camp38 wrote:I agree with the Pimsleur recommendation. I have been using that myself. I ripped the files to MP3 and use them on my Ipod at the gym. At home I have the files on my PC which I blast through my surround sound when I am solo and practice the phrases out loud. On my laptop I also have the files in completion and use my wireless head phones to review the lessons while reading..etc Pimsleur is very natural as the speech and phrases naturally progress and are NOT abstract and disconnected. There is also an underlying PUA about the whole program since you are always "That American Man sitting next to "Insert foreign woman/language" and the whole goal progresses from saying hello to asking her is she would like to eat and eventually having a drink "at your place" bei mir (german) or her place (bei Ihnen)..so the program has long term merit for single men going the happier abroad route.
I also have Rosetta Stone. However, some of it seems abstract as you are seeing people in the images do daily activities yet the whole overall lesson concept seems disconnected (eat/drink, driving running walking, professions, colors numbers) - All relevant but much less interesting. Although the immediate visual reference is extremely helpful in terms of memorization. However, the Pimsleur angle of talking to a female immediately and the overall lesson plan centering on THAT scenario does wonders for your motivation and memory alone.
Hey Winston, I know this is a long time ago. But do you know where I could download it for my Mac? I downladed it, and it ended up being only some text document called DownloadSetup.exeWinston wrote:There is an easy solution.
I'm learning Chinese quite well with the Rosetta Stone software. You guys should try it out. Learning languages with it is not only easy, but effortless too. You don't have to try to memorize anything. It all comes natural with the pictures. Try it and you'll see what I mean. It's easier than you can imagine. You learn it the way a child does, by connecting simple words and images and building up on that. It's that easy and natural. There's no raw memorization involved (which I can't do). That's the beauty of it.
I promise you, if you try this program out, there will be no more language learning frustration.
You can get it on Amazon.com. But if you can't afford it, then just download it off PirateBay.org. You will need to install the basic program, and then mount the ISO as a virtual drive using a free program such as "Power ISO" which you can download for free on their website.
