Does anyone know if they carry those tapes or cds where you can learn a language while you sleep?

It works, in a limited way.\nActually it has more than 1 point of view.\nPsyhodinamically, it is said that when our conscious mind is resting, sub- & un-conscious mind are still active. And they have the capacity to store memories (long-term memories) so we can bypass our conscious mind by memorizing things (including vocabs) right into the subconscious mind. \nWhen is this window opened, it is while we asleep / through hypnosis.\n\nCognitive-psychology would see it from the brain working style. While we FALL asleep, our brain's waves turns from Alpha (wake / alert pattern) to Delta (sleeping pattern). It goes slowly (or quickly, depends on our mental state / how sleepy we are, etc) through Beta pattern first.\nWell, beta brain waves is known to be the most effective for brain to function. (That's one of the reason why people are suggested to listen to 60 beats instrumental music while studying, because it helps stimulate brain waves into this condition)\nWhen we are in this state, the brain will absorb the information exposed.\n\nOff course there are 2 obvious drawbacks.\n1. the phase / length of time when brain will 'learn' is raher limited. So it is not wise to depend on this method to learn new languages. It is most effective (I think) to use this method only to get used to the language itself and the pronounciation.\n2. brain can only takes vocabs / sound / pronounciation, and not grammar, since grammar / other language rules need thinking / understanding, and so need the conscious mind to be active.\n\nI am indonesian, and I speak mandarin, fujian, and french (apart from english), so I had had first hand experiences about these stuffs.\n\nThese methods help, but not in themselves sufficient to learn a language. Good luck!

Tapes and books work best for me. The "Learn in Your Car" series of tapes is my favorite. You can just leave the cds run for a while on loop and absorb it all subconsciously.

I found the 8-CD course by Michel Thomas to be fantastic. From zero to conversational Spanish in a week - just playing the CDs in the car on my way to and from work.\n\nEven the 2-CD basic course gives you enough to get by on holiday (with a bit of arm-waving, pointing and English thrown in)\n\nHe also does German, French, Italian,...

Studies have shown that if you record your lesson and play it over and over again even in your sleep your brain tends to retain more. However, in 3 days you're asking alot. It doesn't hurt to try though.

Read it outloud in a mirror for a while, while recording yourself. Practice outloud to your friends and other things. Then at night play the recordings over and over while you sleep. It's a good way to learn anything. Good Luck! ;]

Get a CD on how to learn French.\nYou can get them on http://www.Amazon.com .\nYou can probably check some out of your local library to see if you like them before you buy them.\nYou can use them on a personal CD player.

I tried that thing where you play an educational tape all night while you sleep.  I recorded myself spelling out words I had to learn.  It didn't work much.  I think it worked only cause it took me an hour to fall asleep cause of the noise, and I learned during that hour I was awake.

Your library also will have some things. (many of the same things suggested by the poster who suggested Borders)  My library has books on tape in several languages, the Teach Me series and several others.  Check with your local high school for Spanish--the Spanish teacher there may be connected with places that give Spanish for children.
