Hello,

It all depends on what you want to cover. People take it step by step, i mean like take one part and then the other. for instance people master the greeting aspect and then unto conversation.

Pimsleur recorded books and rosetta stone are the best in today's market, its like recorded conversations, no remembering drills or homework.

It is a bit costly so i would recommend you looking it up from the library.

Take care

Its difficult if your doing it yourself. I know I'm learning french and between working and taking care of my sister it doesn't leave that much time. Make sure you have lots of time to understand the material and try talking to people familiar with the language that can teach you the slang and differences you usually wouldn't know from books, tapes, cds, etc. Its going to be slow but progressive just make sure you have a set time that you can put aside and work at a steady pace. If your in a book maybe 1 or 2 chapters a day.

I learn spanish by school lessons, reading as much as possible and watching spanish channels and it's not that difficult actually. And also visited Panama(with my school) so i could test my self and see what it is like. I meet a person at the country that spoke english he said he learn't it by watching tv and it was easy for him
So i guess u could too.

Get a book and a tape of a story in that language that you already know thoroughly in English. I have a Spanish Gospel according to John and I know a smattering of Spanish.

ok. it depends on you and the people around you. the easies way you can learn something really quick, just use it in y our ever yday life and make it part of your life. par example if you want to speak another language really quick, find a friend who speak it and talk to that friend in tha language everyday you are talking to him, and accept that person to correct you when you make a mistake. and try everyday of your life to learn something new and to use it everyday in your life and by the end of a month if you are willing to, you are going to speak the language.
practice everyday.
