i dont have the time to take classes really, but id like to learn a different language at home. i know i wont become terribly proficient perhaps, but at least to get started on something would, i think, be interesting.

anyone have any experience with anything outside of a classroom that was worthwhile?
 
Which one did you decide on xSauronx?

I am thinking of doing either Spanish or Italian with both Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur.

Rosetta Stone on computer, Pimsleur in the car while driving. What about you?
 
buy a $5 phrase book, and go from there.

that way when you lose interest, you're only out $5

german ftw.
 
German is phoneticly similar to Eniglish, but Italian is a good gateway to Spanish and Portugese.

Deutsch
Work = Werk
Water = Vasser (V makes a W sound IN German)
Fall = Fall
Beer = Bier (still pronounced Beer)
Land = Land
Folk = Wolk (english spelling Volk, Remeber W makes a V sound and vise versa)
There are many others I cannot think of at this moment.
 
german and italian, eh? why not something that's more widely used? spanish, french, or chinese? i took german in school for 6 years and spanish is my second language (although living in miami you'd think it would be my first.) i very much regret not learning french or chinese in place of german.
