Learn A Language Online

Alma Said:

What's an easy and free language to learn online?

We Answered:

Online is terrific, because you can set your schedule, and it's free, too!

I would suggest using several courses, because no one is going to give you everything you need to become fluent. No one really concentrates on everything, and you get extra practice.

I've been learning Italian...I did Livemocha.com. When I found I wasn't learning enough grammar, I turned to About.com (just search the language). When I finished the course, I was, by no means, fluent enough, so I went to BBC languages. I'm also picking up some vocabulary using Babbel, and there's a second, more advanced course in BBC.

Babbel and Livemocha have extensive networks of natives that you can hook up with and practice...you can add to that by using skype or msn for face-to-face practice.

Or, you could just start by searching "Learn ________ (language) online free" and figure out which program(s) work for you.

Fernando Said:

Is it possible to learn Spanish (or any other language) online?

We Answered:

perhaps but definately not 100%

and it would be tooooo slowly, so it would take a long time
the right way to do it is also practicing with a spanish native speaker, this way it would be more efficient

Andrew Said:

Where can I learn a language online and free?

We Answered:

You will not learn a language on the net for free. I'm sorry to bust your bubble. Rosetta Stone is a piece of crap program that is overrated and completely useless. No matter how they make their program look like it's the best thing out there for learning a language. It's about $1000 for all 3 levels or 5 depending on the language.

Reasons it sucks:
- Doesn't teach grammar
- They teach you only words they can make a picture for it.
- The voice part doesn't work correctly half the time
- It will not get you past beginner level (CEFR Reference)
- $1000 for a flash card application.

I would recommend you get Assimil for about $30-$70 (for both books and cd's). It will teach you quite a bit of grammar, teaches you over 1800+ words. Teaches you colliquial <insert language>. It assimilates you in the language. It will get you to low level intermediate level (CEFR). Depending on the language, it might have the intermediate to advanced level. It's a French company, so you'll get more language selection if you have French knowledge but their is quite a bit of selection for English.

Then I'd recommend picking up a dictionary and other language books also to go with Assimil. But whatever you do, run from Rosetta Stone unless you want to spend $1000 to learn scripted sentences and that's it.

Only ones who think Rosetta Stone is any good, is the ones who know nothing about language learning.
