I have pimsleurs japanese. Divided into basics,intermediate,and advanced iirc. Can't tell you how many times I've gone over the 30 lessons in basic and a few in intermediate. I lose interest after a bit,and forget the entire thing! Then i have to give it a listen again. I know,I fail.. But methinks one needs a speaking partner or someone to keep talking to in the language he wants to learn. To keep engaged in the lessons. Otherwise.. Spinning the wheels imo.
true, kailangan talaga may makakausap ko or else walang kwenta, I also did a round of that pimsleurs japanese and altho I can still speak it right I dont know if I will be able to comprehend immediately once I talk to a nihonjinn.. I have someone to talk to in nihonggo way back, my bro's GF is half nihonjinn kaso mahiyain kaya wala din hehehe
I also studied french way back college and nahirapan ako kasi nga you need to hear it and speak it in a conversation style, I also tried a little italian since my aunt's husband is an italian pero naconscious naman ako sa rising and falling intonations nila and hand gestures hahah..
espanyol I havent given enough attention tho my lolo tried to teach me, sayang nga since mas madali natin matutunan yun having some words directly inherited from it..
today ill start a summit in our office regarding arabic enablement on software user interfaces, I dunno if they'l going to teach basic arabic pero im still curious about it.. it will be for 2 weeks so kung magturo sila baka matuto ako kahit konti..
but if there is 2 language I plan to pursue it will be espanyol and nihonggo given that I have both blood running in my veins.
