YKYALNW: You feel the great urge to tell people in the UK that The Works
have a sale on French and Spanish books. Complete Teach Yourself (new but book only) is £2.99! Their Collins French and Spanish School Dictionaries are £1.99 new. and when you're thankful you went to the store with a friend who is used to your obsession with languages...

(chatting in German): when you almost feel guilty replying on a question in English just because you can't
name the subjects that you study in German. Heck, you can barely do that in English, so even more guilt. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you're wondering why your regular French TV channel isn't working, and you find out the reason on Hindi news.
(The channel is TV5 Monde, and the Hindi news was this morning's Namaskar Bharat, which reported that hackers have attacked TV5's servers, taking down the channel and website.) 9 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm guilty of that sometimes, lol. Reading up on it is NOT the same as using it! Thankfully, every single one of my recommendations really turned out to be pretty nifty when I used it, so, no regrets there :D 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well it depends. I've not used French in Action but I've used Destinos for Spanish, which is similar but less good as far as I can tell. It's fairly similar to giving advice on using one Assimil course based on your experience with another one. 1 person has voted this message useful |
