whats the easiest way to learn a second language? classes, CD. Audio?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to live in that country.
But in this case, I recommend all combine, classes+Audio CD+books

Answer 2

If you can afford the time and money, private tuition is the best, complimented by audio and books outside of class time. With private tuition, you get the feedback on your pronounciation and anything else you say wrong, and you get a good chance to practise talking with a native speaker.

Of course, having friends who speak that language or living in the country are the fastest ways to learn the language. But those aren't always practical.

It also largely depends on your time and discipline. I know for me, CDs and audios alone don't work so well because I'm so busy... and it's even worse with books. Recently I tutored a Spanish colleague Chinese, one-on-one, and I can feel that for him it is the easiest way to learn compared to audio alone.

Answer 3

The problem with audio is that you don't get the chance to interact with other people in order to practice what you've learned. The problem with classes, is that the teacher will sometimes go at a different pace with the lesson. My advice, take private lessons. If it's too expensive, just enroll in a community college (it's cheaper if you audit the class but you won't get college credit) and do the audio as a reinforcement.

Answer 4

Start off by doing an evening class or buying an interactive CD Rom. There are even courses online - try BBC Education - Languages. Then, if you can afford it, try to organise a " home-stay visit " in a country where this language is spoken. If you think you are too old for a " home-stay " arrangement, contact a cultural organisation or Embassy and explain your circumstances, they may be able to give your some guidance.

Answer 5

Germanic languages; English is a West Germanic language so something of that style is relatively undemanding through fact fairly some the words are the comparable as English and the pronunciations are close to to English. English quite often appears like Dutch and the spelling is comparable. English is likewise similar to German. Then comes the Scandinavian languages that are additionally Germanic, like Norwegian and Swedish. those languages are heavily touching directly to English so i got here upon them greater handy to earnings. yet because you're in for worldwide company, i opt to propose chinese language or Russian. Spanish is basically useful in u . s .. in any different case, it quite is a ineffective language.

Answer 6

Stay in the Unrted States, eventually you will learn English, I hear they are making it the second language, after Spanish. Press 2 for English.

Answer 7

A combination of all available methods. However, classes are very important, particularly in the early stages, because you get vital feedback and correction from the teacher before bad pronunciation or grammar habits set in.

Answer 8

Among these three methods, classes -I believe- is the best, since you can check your progress and you can speak with classmates in this language to get used to its sound and everyday use. Yet, the best best best way, is to spend a year in the country of your choice!! Kalimera (this is "good morning" in Greek!)

Answer 9

Easiest? Classes.
Ideally? All combined.

Answer 10

I picked up Spanish pretty quick with an audio lesson.
