That Rosetta stone thingymajig works pretty well. Work set up an online thing to use and it is really easy to follow. I can now ask any french person for directions to the bus station.
 
go to gumtree and search spanish teachers, cheaper than the courses mostly and youll get on e on one tuition.

theres usually spanish people that want to improve their english so you can swap with them for nothing.

then move there and get out of this god forsaken shit hole.

i just came back from Spain on Monday, have spent the last few days wondering why....
 
I did A level French and Spanish and I did a module in Spanish at uni. I personally think Spanish is quite a lot easier. Most of the French I've forgotten but I could get by with my knowledge of Spanish
 
not bad at french, german or italian, speak little japanese and currently learning polish to speak to all my cheap employees lol

Should have....not should of........Must have....not must of.........or is it musted.....

Surely a 'most' is missing somewhere as well?
 
I did GCSE Spanish at MANCAT a couple of years ago, think it cost about £120 for a year (Sep to May) for two hours a night per week. In my opinion Spanish is an easier language to pick up compared to French or German.

The Spanish tutor was also very attractive, which kind of motivates you to go on the cold winter nights!

Give them a call on 0800 068 8585

I can speak Thai fluently after having lived in Bangkok for five years. Probably not the sort of tip you were looking for though!
 
When I was 15 me and my dad had a Spanish tutor come to the house every Friday. We wanted to be prepared for when we moved to Lanzarote...only I didnt go anyway lol I would love to be able to speak Spanish fluently and one day I will give it another go!

Anyway, on to a tip that Spanish tutor gave me. Record yourself whilst you are learning and then listen to it over and over until it sets in. She learnt three languages this way, about 9 months for each to become fluent. You could say she was a bit obsessive but it worked. Unfortunately I never took her advice and can only speak broken bits of Spanish!

Donde es la cigarillo?

That software cost hundreds of pounds. I had a look online when it was being advertised a few months ago!
 
Flemish
English
French
German

It's an advantage to have a motherlanguage (flemish) that is only spoken by 20 million people worldwide, so at school we need to learn many other languages. Good thing here is that they don't dub foreign tv-series, means you're confronted with the foreign language, probably the reason why we, unlike germans, french etc... people don't have heavy accents when we speak other languages.
 
Je parle un peu l'francais

Ich Spreche Deutsche

i know a bit of french and a bit of german, learning french now though

if anyone wants to learn I suggest Michel Thomas's CD's what a great teacher he is
 
I downloaded some podcasts to learn basic Spanish. Worked quite well - can probably e-mail them across if anybody wants them (35lessons).

I wish I'd learned Latin as a kid (but Comps in Stockport don't tend to teach it !) with a decent grounding in Latin most European languages would be a doddle
