Fastest way to learn a new language?
I’m an American and I only speak English fluently although I speak a little (VERY little) German. I had three years of Latin in high school. I’m looking to learn to speak Spanish, but I don’t want to take classes if I don’t have to. Anyone know of a product/system that worked for them?

Yesss!
Go to Spain.
Anything that lets you hear that language and interact should be just fine for learning a new language. Good luck with that. Adios!
Look into the Berlitz system… some libraries have it for loan.
Go and live in Spain for a few years. No sex and fooling around. Get a job and work. Have a decent, detached relationship. Be good at your job. Be likable.
The Rosetta Stone series works really well for learning a new language.
I also am learning Spanish, but I feel I need more course with what I’m using to learn it. I bought myself a Spanish c.d. (but it’s only for people who need it for travelling), then I went out and got myself a Spanish tour book. It gives you phrases and how to pronounce them. Then I got myself two Spanish dictionaries, and they do come in handy, but I just feel that I need Spanish courses. Good luck
Hi…I’ve been doing Pimsler CD’s in my car for about 6 weeks, and it’s amazing how much I have picked up. I decided to tackle German, just for fun. The lessons can be a bit pricy, but I found a site online that sells them for a reasonable price (thelingoshop.com). Good luck, have fun.
Constant usage (don’t worry abt aking mistakes) and extra reading, listening. And hard work and interest in the subject. Plenty of self confidence.
1) Go live in Mexico, preferably in an area where noone speaks English.
2) While in Mexico, get out and socialize.
They say kids learn languages so much faster than adults. Think about it: Mom and her kid come here from (insert name of country that doesn’t speak English here). Mom’s inside all day doing housework and what have you. The kid’s out playing with all the neighborhood kids and being emersed in the language. Do you really think Junior is learning the language faster just because of the way “children are wired”? (that might be part of it, but obviously not the whole tory)
be influenced with the culture the people take a visit to the country and if all else fails listen the music
