how and where to learn a foreign languages? Easiest way to learn these?

Question

I need to learn a few major foreign languages. Probably, Chinese, French, German and Spanish. Maybe even a few other ones. What would be the easiest way to learn these? What are my options? If i were to go to a school for it- Which one in the US? Maybe Lord Fairfax?

I have a hard time with comprehension, so i know its going to be kinda hard, so i need to know what would be my best bet.
The only thing i can come up with is:
Tapes
Online class with headset
Small classes somewhere
Small college
Community college

Im going to be applying for an airline, so i dont really want to do tapes, because i wont look as good.

If you can elaborate on any of my options please do so.. Thanks

Answer 2

I would recommend private tutoring if you can afford it. If you can't then join a small language class. Or join a class and supplement it with the occasional session with a tutor. Some private language schools offer intensive courses which might suit your situation.
It will also help to hear native speakers talking in a normal voice at a normal speed with normal pronunciation, which you don't get on the tapes. Try and get some foreign films in the languages you want to learn. That will help you understand people who mumble, have an different accent to what you're used to hearing etc. But make sure with dvd's that you get ones where you can turn off the english subtitles or they won't help you much. You will probably have to get them ordered in from the country the film was made in eg. order french films from France
