Best way to learn a language aside from living in a country....

[FortFunFoSho]

Hey everyone.

I need to learna language as a personal thing I want to do.

I was curious what you think is the best way to do it on your own?

I have heard from someone who spoke 8 languages the best way for him was to hire someone to do 1 on 1 work with you every day.

What do you suggest?

This is something I want to do.

How do I hook that up.

Hang out with people that are fluent in the language.

I'm actually going to be doing mission work at a spanish speaking mission for the next two years. I get two months of classroom sort of stuff for it, then I'll be speaking it 24/7 for the rest of the two years. I think I'll get a handle on it...

Take courses. Join conversation groups. Visit local cultural centres of any Spanish-speaking culture. Make Spanish-speaking friends. Date a Spanish speaker.

Best way to become a cunning linguist is to practice on a foreign girl.

Max: They're gonna cancel latin. They've gotta make room for japanse.
Miss Cross: That's a shame because all the romance languages are based on latin.


spanish shouldn't be that hard now. With Italian and french under your belt, should be a breeze.
