I know he made a movie with a French director and with French actors (The Science of Sleep - it seems pretty good). As for Italian, I don't know.

I took the easy way, and went to the country to learn the language. When I say the easy way, it has a double meaning. Anyway, I learned French in the USA, in highschool, and I can give you some tips. \n\nPractice as much as you can. A computer program is a good thing to learn vocabulary. Use online translators, too, but don't get caught up with them for translating sentances or big texts -- because they wont do you any good. Read a verb book, and start to learn your verbs, because once you know the basic conjugations for verbs, you'll be able to conjugate any very you want to. \n\nTo be able to retain everything you learn, you need to practice. I've been speaking French for 5 years now (I went and lived in Paris for 6 months and when I left, I spoke flawlessly). Now that I have been speaking Spanish for 8 months, I find it hard to speak french, and some spanish words come out. That's because I have been so focused on Spanish and I haven't put to practice my French in a while.  \n\nIf you know words in Spanish, try to think of things when you look around your room, and tell the object to yourself in Spanish. Like others said, watch TV, movies, listen to music, anything to let your ear hear spanish. You're only going to learn if you look up the words that you don't know, because if you're listening to spanish all day and not relating a word to english (or any other language you know) you wont learn.\n\nIt's fun to learn another language once you learn the first. It's easier, like everyone says, because you do things better from when you learned your first language. I worked harder learning spanish, maybe it's because I am older (well I am 20 years old) but I just know how things work. \n\nTake your time and the language will come. Don't make it feel like a chore because it's not. It should be fun learning another language... because so many people in the USA only speak one language, already you're showing interest in other cultures, wanting to learn about another way of communicating -- it's great.\n\nI dont know if you want to speak Spain spanish, Mexican spanish, or Argentine Spanish (what I speak) but go to www.clarin.com. It's Buenos Aires' newspaper online. Print a small paragraph and highlight all the words you dont know. Honestly, it takes time, but it helps. Then you can try reading something else, after learning the highlighted words, and you'll be amazed how much more you'll understand.\n\nTo memorize, you have to practice, practice, practice. I hope this helps a little. Preguntame si necesitas ayuda! Que disfrutes!

I use mostly Romanian and English in my daily life and work, but I know French very well and I understand Italian and Spanish. I took classes of Swedish (fun language), German (OMG) and Russian (hmmmm) but I never used them for anything and I remember just a few words and rules... I can say basic lines like Hello or Thanks in many more European languages!

Spanish is not difficult to learn. Neither was French. Italian is much like Spanish. They are all derived from Latin, but French seems to have drifted the furthest.

hi,\ni would advise buy dvds or cds from shops. because u never know what u r downloading. u can choose from a wide range if u go to a shop or a boookshop. i used to buy tapes and cds to learn french.\n\naccent can be improved by speaking and listening to people with your desired accent. if u talk to your freind who has a wierd accent, u might get his accent. watch news in tv, english progrrames are good. try speaking to yourself, or a trustworthy friend. i know how hard it is!

The best way is not to take classes but to immerse yourself in the language.\n\nSee if you can get an exchange program where you go to an english speaking country for at least 6 months.  If you are immersed in the language at the same time you're studying it you'll become a much better speaker of the language.\n\nIf you're coming to the states avoid Alabama (my french teacher was born in France and moved to Alabama when he was 7, it was hell).

A lot depends on where you live. If, for instance, you live in Canada especially in Quebec you need to learn French. It is a required subject in all schools in Canada because we have two national languages, English and French.\n\nIf you live in the Southwest or West of the United States, Spanish is a very predominant language and very useful.\n\nActually many of the words in both Spanish and French are the same or close to the same so learning one will help learn the other. Also for Spanish, there are many different dialects of Spanish spoken in the SW USA and even in different areas of Mexico and are almost totally different than the Spanish spoken in Spain. The same for French as Creole French in Louisiana is different from Quebec in Canada and different again from that in France. It does get confusing don't it!  Have fun learning either or both...and choose the one that will be most useful for your situation.

Don't recommend this procedure if your interest is learning spanish. Nevertheless, lookup under any search engine for "movie distributors - spanish". I am sure abundant information will be found.\n\nBest way to learn a language (I have personal experience), is to speak the language on a dayly basis with a tutor or self-teaching videos/cassetts.

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,...

It's in French. The title is Spanish -- the opera is set in Spain -- but the text is French.\n\nChecking with colleges for voice teachers is a good suggestion, though.
