Learn foreign language?

Honeybunz SG

Ask you all ah....

I want to sign up for a foreign language. Really keen to learn. Checked out the school, course fees and stuff. Even worked out my sums.

When I was about to sign up, I realised that I don't really have time for that cuz of my workload. Often either have to stay back and clear a lot of things, or become very tired cuz of back to back meetings.

So I have to postpone my this plan. But still I am very keen to learn. So I am thinking of learning from home first.

Last time I used to see a lot of those CDs and books that come with CDs that allow ppl to learn at own pace at home one. The title usually comes with something like "Learn Spanish Now" or something similar to that. But now, I go shop around, I don't see that anymore.

Any idea where I can find those?

Times bookshop? I actually saw the CDs a few weeks back, it still said it can be converter into your MP3 Player or your ai pah! (ipod)

popular dun have meh? I saw a few leh, Learn Spanish, Indonesian and German, and etc. Blue colour book in Popular. Maybe u need to go and see again.

also depends how serious u wan lor. if u really want to get to know the culture and the language and speak informally, u have to sacrifice more time to the study. but if u only wanna know just a few sentences, learn how to have simple conversation. I guess use books n cd should be okay la. :)

I remember seeing John Little (at Jurong Point) or BHG (at Bugis Junction) have. So many their outlets and other departmental stores will have... those larger ones that have many different sections.

heheheh

thanks everyone for giving me info.

I siao siao placed an order on www.fluenz.com liao. Tried purchasing over amazon, cannot. Very impulsive hor?

What to do? I have relatives who only speak Spanish and a bit of mandarin. I hope I can communicate with them a bit more. They are nice and humble ppl :)

Thanks again, everyone.

Don't waste your money, buying language CDs or tapes.

Check out YouTube first and then see you can pick up the language by yourself.

Usually you can't.

For languages you need to practice, with someone else, not by yourself.

skeujin SG

there is a bookstore at the basement of raffles city shopping centre.

think its a mph or times or something. saw they have those language tape things u mentioned bout.

i also see them on sale at IT fairs, usually at the booths selling informational CDs like kids education series

Get the "Spanish for Dummies" book. It's book and CD. Book is in yellow.

But uhmm you dont have to buy them. Cuz you could get the above off the net :P

Yes, with the audio and the book. Everything. I am learing Spanish too.

Guess the downside is that you cant carry around like a book. But i guess most of your time spent on learning is at home? so download is ok la..

I used to learn German. What the use. I did not use it. Now all give back to Franc Boli.
