Languages - July 2006

Hi, I'm learning the Korean language, and I'd like to get the Pimsleur companies CDs (there are three levels). However, I feel what they are charging is ridiculous, and as I'm a poor student I can't afford ridiculous. Know of where I can get all three levels for less than $100 ?

When I was just a little girl, my family came to the U.S.A from Portugal, and we learned to speak English just fine, with the exception of our accents. My parents told my siblings and I that our accents would fade with time and we would speak just like all the other American children. I am in my 20's now. My siblings (I believe all of them) have indeed faded out their accents for the most part. I have not.

I'm just wondering why my accent has not diminished, though most of my family's accents have.

I am a Filipino. I always practice & research about the three English native speakers' accents:
1) American - it is very common here in the Phils. & we Filipinos are used to it...
2) British - I always watch BBC World & Bus Stop, plus I'm a Harry Potter Fan
3) Australian - ABC news, Wicked Science, etc.. and I always watch Iya Villania speak

WHY IS IT VERY HARD TO SPEAK W/ AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT! I know some stuffs like:
heller (hello), sir (so) their 'ow' bcums 'er' . And I also heard a Fil-Oz saying "KIRK FLIRT" - Coke Float
die (day), etc..
I am used to Brit & Am accent but it is bloody hard to speak w/ an OZ accent well...

I practice with my Spanish speaking friends, that live both near me and abroad, but it doesn't seem like I really have enough opportunity. I do the normal "improving in a language" stuff, like watching movies w/o subtitles, listening to music, reading newspapers, etc; and I do these things every day.

I especially need to work on my aural comprehension and my ability to respond in Spanish. I no longer have to translate in my head, but it seems like I'm not really improving much as a speaker, or at least in only barely perceptible steps (like vocabulary, which is certainly important, but not everything).

Ideally, of course, I would live in a Spanish speaking country for a whie, but that's not feasible for me right now.

What tips do y'all have that might help??

And, if more than your native language, why and when did you learn the other(s)?

I don't understand the cultural obsession fo this word. It's easily one of the most overused words. Do people use the word to demonstrate that they know its meaning? How annoying!
