Why does language learning software not start out with basics?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

When I was a kid and I was taught to read, you start with the alphabet then with basic words. It seems to work for every single person learning their own language Why do language learning titles not do the same for learning another?

Most of them do. And btw, things you learn while you’re a kid aren’t necessarily as effective when you’re an adult. That’s why they have special courses for adults, didn’t you know?

What is a good and effective language learning program?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I’m trying to learn Spanish, but have so far failed. I am looking for a language learning software that is easy to understand, is effective, teaches pronunciation, and teaches you how to read write. I’ve seen customer reviews for Rosseta Stone and Pimsleur and i’m not sure if those two would be good, or worth the money. I also understand that learning a language takes time and patience and not from just computer programs, but i’m desperate for an effective program. I do know some of the baisics but need a lot more practice and learning. Please help!

Depending on how much you might wish to spend, Rosetta Stone can be effective but can also cost over 1,000 dollars for some languages. To study German I found Instant Immersion to be a great and cheap alternative to Rosetta Stone. It is only about 80 dollars or less. So really it all depends on your budget, but I do suggest Instant Immersion, includes 6 discs and and iPod/mp3 learning disc too!!!
