I really need to learn Spanish.
Not necessarily out of want, more out of need. There are so many Hispanics here and their English is very heavily accented. I struggle to understand them much of the time. At least if I knew Spanish I could converse with them that way.
Re: I really need to learn Spanish.
Funny you posted this today, I'm moving to Texas (I'm assuming that's where you live based on your siggy) in a couple months and I just ordered Rosetta Stone yesterday because so many of the job postings out there asked for Spanish speaking candidates. I used to have a decent grasp of the language, but haven't used it in a good 4 years since there are very few Spanish speakers here in Hawaii.
I hope it works!
I'm in California
I've thought about Rosetta Stone, but I'm just worried about it not really teaching you proper conjugation and such. Like, I know you'll learn the words from hearing them, but I want to understand Spanish, too.
I used Rosetta Stone for a while because H had free access to it from work, and it was honestly much better than taking classes, or using CDs. They also currently include access to online resources that connect you to Spanish speakers, have games, etc. I think coupling Rosetta Stone with watching movies in Spanish and reading Spanish publications could be a really effective way to learn. The best thing about it is that it's super fun to do- it keeps you engaged and compels you to keep going through the lessons. I wish I could have continued with Italian, but H's access got cut off.
I should be getting it this week, I'll keep you updated! They didn't have the online resource when I was trying to learn Italian. I have high hopes, I know 3 people that became fluent in a new language through Rosetta.
I have the opposite problem...I have my degree in Spanish but now I live in Maine so it's pointless! I used to live in Texas and used it everyday at work. SIGH!
Rosetta Stone is cool. I have it in every language (my ex-bf was a pirate, haha). If I was smarter I would somehow get it to you but I don't know how to transfer everything I have.
