I would like to learn French. I think it'd be good to add to my resume. I will need to learn it extensively as I am a paralegal and write contracts.

Basically, the best method for learning any foreign language is to totally immerse yourself in a community of native speakers on that particular language.  Since that is not always practical, there are other options.  You may want to enroll in a French language course at a local college or university.  If that is not an option, then you can join a French cultural group, like the Alliances Francaise.  The link is below.  \nIf all else fails, you Can purchase a French language learning book and CD set.  They are fairly inexpensive and with diligence very effective.\nGood luck!

It takes time to learn the program.  4 & 5 Of French I gave me no and of trouble.  You may have to go back and redo every lesson from the start now & then.  Some sections you will get the first time others will take several trys.\n\nIt wasn't until I reached the upper lessons that I was begining to realy catch on to speaking French.  Keep going you will get it.  Then you'll be ready for the next set of 30 lessons.

Latin is an excelent language to learn if you are planning to work in the health-related fields, and you will have a greater understanding of current english words and how they cease to be.\n\nI'm assuming you want something that your school does not offer (since the only last two your school DOES offer do not interest you)I would like to recommend Greek or Japanese.

I'd have to go with everyone else and say Spanish (although, I'm hardly a business person, so I don't know how useful Mandarin would be). However, there is one language that no one else mentioned that I would really like to learn: Sign Language. Other useful languages could be French (If you live in the northeast or New Orleans area) and Italian. One of the nice things about Spanish, Italian, and French is that once you are competent with one of these languages, the other two are much easier to read because they are all Latin based.

Try Michel Thomas's audio CDs, He does French, and he is very very good. I'm using it myself, it isn't free, but it is the easiest and best way to learn a language. No memorizing, no homework, no books, no work, just listening.\n\nCe Bonn!

ASL is a great language, but it is not universal.  I tried to learn French and Spanish, but just could not pick it up.  I had so much more luck with ASL.  I think it all depends on your learning style.

I think it is great that you are thinking of taking a language, being bilingual is always helpful and it opens up many, many doors.  I can't promise it will be easy if you have never taken spanish before, but it is one of the easiest languages to learn and if you really are interested in learning you will learn it nonetheless.  I suggest that while you take the course you check out some spanish music and movies.

I have a degree in French, a B.A., and a minor in Spanish. They are similar in the syntactical sense of the Romance language construction.  All five of the Romance languages are similarly constructed.  What I find interesting about French has to do with my Cajun French ancestry in Louisiana and the musical flow of the language.  It's such a beautiful experience to speak and listen in French.  Yet, it is a very difficult language to use for an FSL speaker (French as a Second Language) at first.  But, then that very issue became the compelling impulse for me to continue learning it.  Like English, it is a life long experience.  But, there was a threshold that I crossed when I started to study French as conversation while studying French literature, etc..  That threshold, I discovered, was the doorway that only opens up to the French language scholar when s/he realizes that part of the musical experience of French requires a precision in the use of one's tongue, mouth, cheek and throat muscles that the other languages did not seem to require (I never experienced this problem with Spanish or Italian; even in German, though German is more gutteral than the others).  For instance, the use of the Trill in French is extremely difficult to accomplish consistently when these muscles are not used so extensively in the other Romance languages, English certainly included.  Think about my being from the South with a Southern drawl and trying to use muscles my face has never used, ever, ever as we slide words out of our mouths using as little energy (and as few facial muscles) as possible.  Until I realized I needed to train these muscles to do things they had never done before, I could not speak or think in French, but when this aspect was revealed to me by a Canadian French teacher I had in college, it changed everything for me.  \n\nOn top of that, my knowledge of French made me able to at least understand the other languages if they are spoken slowly and I know the context of the conversation or the reading.  I really believe that French is the key to understanding the other languages of European descent.  I hope it is clear that I am not saying any of them is better than the others.  When you say it was very hard but you liked it made me think that since you have a family connection to the Romance languages that you might be going through the same thing I did when I studied French.  You might be just at that doorway where I was when, once opened, I gained the crucial knowledge about the language that revealed the essence of the difficulty in learning it.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nutopianwizard/CC Ryder

dD let me have your profile with resume in detail by e-mail to my email id signevert@yahoo.fr. I have a few co-ordinates who may help you out. Finally, I don't expect anything in return.

Having English and Spanish down, you're pretty good.  I would recommend Chinese because it is obviously an up and coming nation that will have a huge global influence on everything from politics to trade to just about everything.  If not Chinese, I would look into Arabic for similar reasons (spanning a variety of countries).  Either will make you incredibly marketable!

Here you go:  I speak french. If you want to reply, it's better that you do so in english. I want to know everything about kabbalah, mainly the protection and the.. success.\n\nThe original has a few mistakes, but that's it.

My first and only fluent language is English.  I used to speak Spanish very well thanks to 5 years study in school, but it gets rusty when I don't use it.\n\nI'm learning French right now.  My boyfriend is French Canadian and while he is fluently bilingual, I think it's respectful to learn his mother tongue.  The "how" on this is very amusing.  I do have a cheapy computer program and audio program which I use from time to time.  They mostly help with pronounciation and vocabulary.  I bought a Canadian French workbook that was created for adult Anglophones who want to learn French.  THAT has been very useful.  \n\nThe bulk of my "teaching" comes from my boyfriend himself.  He gives me words and phrases that come up in regular conversation or that are relevant to something going on at that time.  The fun (although sometimes maddening) part is that he teaches me all sorts of stuff that one does not say in polite company.  I'm scared to death that someday one of these words will be too close to the word I really want to use and will slip out in front of some Franophones.

Keep up what you're doing.  It takes quite some time.  When you are an intermediate learner (about 3rd,4th year high school, or late 2nd year university) yo could benefit from moving to a French-speaking area.  (Quebec or  Montreal might be easier for a US person.)  Once you can even half-way read French, read.  Read children's books, baby books, magazines, websites (yahoo.fr, insolite is usually interesting.  It has weird stuff).  Don't worry about what you don't understand.  Don't both with the dictionary.  Just read.  I know that there are podcasts in French and that some French newspapers (le monde) have spoken interviews on the computer.  Listen to what you're interested.  You might also want to download or buy French CDs of the type of music you like and listen to them over and over until they get in your head.\nI took 1 year in highs school, minored in college, listened to this one French record album 17 zillion times, fell in love with the book "the Little Prince" in French, started teaching it...and eventually I can open my mouth and let French fall out--but this is a loooooooong process.
