All your language learning materials and programs are one 1 shelf and that shelf is burning. You have time to grab 1--just 1 thing!
What would you take and why? I'd take my Easy Spanish Reader because my mom gave it to me and because it was what I used years ago to get a sense of the language and its still useful to me. (Plus, the library has a better collection of materials than I could ever afford!) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

My laptop - which is usually stored there when not in use. Otherwise, my case of CDs because that's a lot harder to replace than any of the books.

The Internet is on fire? My lord. It'd be a difficult choice, but I'd save ChinesePod, because of the memories.
Or did you mean those, whatchamacallem, "buks" (sp?). I don't have any of those. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A lot of my materials are on my laptop so if that and my books were on fire it'd be an easy choice.
However, if I had to choose one of my language books it would probably be "The English Language; A linguistic history" because I spent a fortune on it (I had to buy it for school) and I haven't even used it for anything yet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm gonna assume you mean just buks. :P.
For me ... Colloquial Icelandic. It's the one I'm using most heavily at the moment, particularly for the later chapters' weirdness. I'd really desire a second hand for either my Finnish or Icelandic grammar, though. Grammars are sexy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

With Internet nowadays, very little is irreplaceable, apart from older books.

My copy of Assimil Using French. I bought it in France and tried to integrate what I learned from each lesson into my conversations the next day so reading through it is a quick trip down memory lane from the early days when everybody spoke too fast to the end when people pretty much made sense and French turned out to be pretty easy after all.
