French is a latin language, so it's close to Spanis, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian (and latin of course, if you find any utility for it). But I think Spanish - Potuguese - Italian are closer to one another than French is to any of these 3 (Native speakers of these 3, please correct me if I am wrong)

What is the best way to go about learning a language, those cliche cassette tapes?

Surprinsingly they are a pretty good way to start, but it's much better if somebody can help you get started. This is how I started to learn English. After a while you need to get serious about the grammar, though.
