The Rosetta Stone...?

It does! It was actually this exact line that was the final push voor Champolion when he was cracking the code.

You shouldn't rely on one source to learn a language because they might have different points of view on things. I suggest that you use books, software, videos, and cassettes/ CDs to help you. Also, the Rosetta Stone one is pretty good and I think is worth it. It's up to you to decide.

I don't know of DVDs, but you might want to check out Rosetta Stone software.  It's very photo-based and includes pronunciation, so it would work well for even young children, but you'd have to lead them through it.

get a software called "Rosetta Stone". It's very good.

i used it years ago to help with my russian.  unfortunately, the rosetta stone program only helped a little.  if you have NO knowledge of the langauge you want to learn, it can be helpful.  it will help you with basic words and their pronunciation, but you will not achieve any sort of verbal fluency from the program.\nhowever, just as a jumping-off point, it can be helpful.

Probably the best anwer for learning a language that I've had so far is a program called Rossetta Stone. It's pretty easy to use, but it can only help you learn the language as it's taught in schools. If you can, find some Russian speakers and practice with them!

:))\nit's really "untranslatable" (if there's such a word) !!

The Rosetta Stone stuff is good in that it teaches you how to think without translation. But for really learning how to learn to speak the language it will be slow. It doesn't give you dialogs or conversations to work with. What they do is teach you basic sentence structure, but each and every language is the same, meaning they don't take the mindset of the target language into consideration when creating the lessons. They just translate the lessons into the target language, this doesn't always work so well when the other language is not of the same mindset. \n\nI think it works better for European languages than Eastern languages because the mindset is so different in the East. I speak Mandarin and Mongolian and it is soooo different from European languages.\n\nPlus you get no explanations of anything what so ever. It's all guess work until you understand.\n\nBTW, you won't find any problem communicating there, I haven't met a Filipino who can't at least speak pidgin English!\n\nEnjoy!\n \nCheck out the sites below for some other options.

I'm currently playing with their demo disc, and it's quite good.  If you don't have a teacher, the Rosetta Stone software from Transparent Language is the best.  However, it helps to also use the English version so you can tell what exactly the picture is trying to say. I was playing with Mandarin and couldn't tell if the sentence was trying to say the table is under the boy or the boy is on the table!  Rosetta Stone software would also be a good supplement to a language class.

for new testament study, i actually read the original language, Greek.  there is no substitute... learn it if you ever have the opportunity!  for general reading, i typically read the nasb or esv because they tend to be the most literal without as much translators interpretation involved... but a faithful paraphrase like the nlt (new living) or an "optimal" translation like the hcsb is always helpful as well\n\nkatlyn, i really have the same concern though about not getting the full meaning... i certainly don't understand it as good as the native speakers did, and i understand english much better, but my hope is that over time it will get more natural.  it is invaluable being able to see what's really going on semantically though, so you're not in the dark when people talk about such things, don't you think?

Yes, I can read it. It says:\nDid you know that the human brain can read a word withough the letters being in order? It's cool isn't it? I got an e-mail about this and could actually read it! If you can read this, then what does it say?

i've heard nothihg but good about Rosetta Stone from Transparent language (but its expensive)\ngerman.about.com has some beginning German lessons\nlook for AATG (AATG.org), the website of the American Association of Teachers of German; they have links.\nTry Goethe.de (look for the translation link to get it in English.) There will be some materials, but more advanced.\nThere is a website somewhere that lists German teachers in the US and if they tutor or give private lessons.(There is probably a link on the AATG site)\nYou might see if there is a German-America Klub of some sort in your area as well; they generally hold beginners classes or would know where some are.\nViel Glück!

Google for transliteration, NOT translation. If there is such a site, it'll give you the Greek words using the English alphabet.

Rosetta Stone Look it up on the net.  It's GREAT.  Everyone including the government has used it and achieved amazing results.
