What's the best way to start learning a new language..?

We Answered:

i am learning japanese, talk and converse with them. I went to japan for only two weeks and that helped a whole lol. I will be going soon for two months, that ought to perfect it ;D.

I sugest watching japanese movies like anime or something with the english subtitles. and just Google sear words and slang... most boys( including myself find that very fun and interesting but not tooo useful)

converse with your asian friends too.

Why does language learning software not start out with basics?

We Answered:

Most of them do. And btw, things you learn while you're a kid aren't necessarily as effective when you're an adult. That's why they have special courses for adults, didn't you know?

What are some good language learning techniques?

We Answered:

Egyptians and Syrians and other Arabs will understand most of your words (maybe 95%) as we do.

Actually it depends on the material you are studying, because as a Saudi person from Riyadh, I will NOT understand some words that is used by people from Jeddah or Jazan as an example, I will understand most of it but not all, and vice versa!

The best technique I can suggest is practicing and reading, try to know as much as you can about the culture and the differences between Saudi Arabia regions.
