best way with out living in the country is evening classes
if not poss buy EXPENSIVE pc tuition and books
the cheap ones are a waste of money
in UK try the bbc as the quality is good
label items at home with the foriegn word
obviously best to live there or have native tutor
remember the cheap books and cd's are crap

If you could get television of the country, that would be very helpful. I learned a second language from the television - okay, I was living in the country at the time, but children's programmes are really good for this.
You could also invest in a webcam, and sign up for an online course with a tutor. It's expensive.

a great new language so you might income could be Esperanto, the worldwide language it quite is greater straightforward to income than national languages, is done (not a pidgin!) with its very own literature plus a great form of translated literature from different languages. There are very many information superhighway web pages from which you will learn. basically google Esperanto and spot what you get. interior of three months, while you're particularly sturdy at engaged on it maximum days, you will have the flexibility to correspond with penfriends in lots of diverse international locations.

Also, once you try the basics, rent the movie in the original language with subtitles. Most people learn by watching and hearing. To get the basics, I would still take a class or two.

There's a site "Before You Know It" or BYKI.... I used it to download (for free) and transferred the files to my MP3.
So learning can be convenient and easy, laying in bed, waiting for a bus, having lunch at work etc etc... Good luck and remember to have fun learning. The best way of improving accent and pronunciation is by interaction, so hope someone you know will help you with that.
C'est tout!

I've learnt Portuguese with the Linguaphone course, I found it better than the Rosetta Stone..but try both out before you buy. They have their own websites and you could get a demonstration.Both are good but different...horses for courses.

dunno. I've been teaching myself japanese from home.
Try finding a podcast on itunes. You don't need an ipod just download it and listen to it in itunes. (which you can download for free) if you learn japanese i recommend japanesepod101
they also have a good website.
Get books too. Try buying children's books in that language and listening to music and watching shows in that language. it helps with pronounciation and picking up on the words and slang.

Have you heard of a program offered on t.v. called the Rosetta Stone? It includes lots of different languages, and you can use at at home and at your own pace. Check it out.
