What Is The Best Way To Learn A Completely Different Language?
The best way to learn a language is to live in a country where they speak it for 6 months or a year. Unfortunately, that’s not always practical. The good news is that learning by yourself you can actually make considerable progress in a language. As others including Farber recommend, a multi-track approach is the best. The various methods you employ reinforce one another and more importantly, keep you from getting bored. I find the best combination is: 1. An audio course; 2. a textbook; 3. some software ; 4. flashcards; and 5. a reader.
