Brumonkey Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Anyone self taught a language? I'd like to polish up on my German, Italian, and Spanish. Unfortunately, I'm out of school... and my job doesn't necessarliy make it easy to schedule around for classes. I was wondering if anyone would recommend either books or CDs/Software. Any specific company recommendations would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavlakos_politakos Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 i speak fluent Greek.i picked it up after i moved to new york.before,my mom used to try to teach me Greek but never spoke fluently until i came here.theres a large Greek community and most of my friends are greek,i hang out at greek cafes,and my family speaks mostly greek and/or broken english.My father learned english by buying a greek/english dictionary and reading the english news paper and looking up the words he didnt know.the best way to learn another language is to live in that country or do the news paper thing.
