Rosetta Stone is awesome.

I guess they is a program you can download to learn different languages but i suggest you just go on google and use a language translator i fined it very use full it saves you the time of having to wait for the download to finish an also doesn’t take any hard drive space.

Thanks will.

I guess You and I have the same situation before. I wanted to learn Spanish. Good thing i have already learned. Yo Habla Espanol!!

I think i can recommend you this one. They have tools and tips on how to speed up your learning on how to speak Spanish.

1- Go for the language you’re most interested in. You can always set priorities, though.

2- You should attend classes. As a teacher, I can assure you nothing can substitute the work done by a professional, qualified teacher. And let me tell you, this is totally essential.

3- Motivation –
a- Use the language as often as possible.
b- Keep record of your own progress. For example, how many words you learn a day.
c- Plan on rewarding yourself when you become near fluent with a trip to a country where the language is spoken. You can start by saving right away by keeping all the quarters and dollar coins you’re given.
d- Try to make friends who speak the language. If not possible, try to find people who are learning it and schedule regular meetings with them, and you might even start a club.
e- Watch TV and movies in the language. First try using captions and you’ll notice you’ll find yourself checking whether the translation provided is accurate or not! It’s fun.
f- Read, read, read but remember to choose topics you’re interested in.
g- Get yourself a little notebook you can use to record the language you’d like to learn or for translations where you’re riding the subway or the bus.
h- If you drive, play music in Spanish to get used to the sounds of Spanish. You can also use an IPod.

have you tried the white bread and Elmers glue project. My kids enjoyed making their own t-shirts, doing sand art pictures (outside), growing a small garden (or flower box garden).

You can also go online for different craft and other activites.

i think that this website will help you a lot
good luck

I feel sorry for the child to be in the hands of a bonehead mother and an even bigger bone headed school district. Is there any any you can afford a private school? It will be worth it for the child to get a proper education. Just wait until you hear the word “like” every other word. It would make me want to scream.

Have you taken any Spanish in Highschool? If not you should take classes as soon as possible. Try summer classes, use bknelson, watch spanish movies, buy something like “spanish for dummies”, talk to native speakers, listen to music, just start to listen to the languge and try to ge it into your brain….

People in Europe are surrounded by different countries. We are bordered by two, and one of them speaks English. People in Europe would need to know at least 2 languages since the diversity of the area calls for it.

Also, that is the choice of the individual American, so I’m not sure who you’re speaking for, but please don’t put words in my mouth.
