I had 2 years of German in high school and one year of French. On my route there are a lot of Latinos that I sometimes need to ask questions. Some of them (not sure they are legal) do not speak much English. Does anyone know of a program that is easy to learn Spanish? Since I have prior knowledge of learning foreign languages it would be easier to transfer that knowledge to others, at least I hope so. Thanks.
I like Michel Thomas's courses also. I have all his older CD's for Spanish. They are pretty good. Feel free to contact me at molej @ hotmail. com (remove the spaces), and I can send you some of the files from the CD.
The only downfall is that Michel Thomas is not a native Spanish speaker, but his techniques he teaches makes it easy to understand and learn basic grammar of Spanish.
I like the Pimsleur approach (my problem is I get only so far, adn with any system, if you don't practice it is quickly lost). I have heard that rosetta stone is not very good.
I bought my Spanish learning program today. I have a guy who does odd jobs for me, he is Latino, here legally, and he stopped by today and said he would help me. Will let you know how it goes.
