Linguaphone 'no bueno mi amigo'

dont think the future wife would like that.................but good idea

[Lancstree]

Here's some advice. Listen to as much as you can and it doesn't matter if you don't understand a word just keep listening. I've started to listen to podcasts which you can download free and I listen to them in the car on the way to work. I'm interested in Spanish also.

 

p.s. the idea of flying to Sout America is probably better!

what podcasts are those then

 

lee is that no good my friend?

I spent 18months working in Costa Rica and Panama. First hand is good but we used to watch films with spanish subtitles. Most DVDs allow multi language subtitlles and it is an easy way to expand your skills.

The DVD idea is good too. Podcasts are basically free MP3 files. You need a programme like Juice to download them. To find podcasts you can either search in google or use a directory like Podcast Directory. Punch podcast into wikipedia to learn about them. Juice programme has pretty clear instructions on how to use it but I can help once you've got it.

I am using podcasts at the moment with work books, general every day books and tv. To really catch on quick you have to emerse yourself in the language etc

I never learned or say refined my spanish until

I was a Foreman for 15 latinos, with little to no english.

 

 

Immersion and Nescessity are awesome motivators.
