Audio learning works really for this. The best part about learning a language via audio is that you can get a lot of repetition in. You'll still want to do a tutor or a class if fluency is your goal but you can get pretty far down the path with audio learning and greatly accelerate the process.
As for which programs to use, I run LearnOutLoud.com and since we sell most all of these I'm pretty familiar with them. It's generally thought that Pimsleur titles are the highest quality. Having said that, Rosetta Stone also gets good marks. I guess it depends on whether you are looking for something interactive (PC-based) or just something to listen to in your car, while commuting, etc. If it's the former, go Rosetta Stone. If it's the latter, go Pimsleur.
Haven't listened to the Learning Strategies ones yet but I've been really happy with all of the stuff I've bought from them in the past. |
