I've been debating on what foreign language software I wanted to get so, I settled on
instant immersion for Japanese, Korean, Spanish, swahili and French and maybe some others but I also wanted to find some books and websites from Korean through French. Does anyone have some suggestions? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Welcome to the forums, Poly. As your question is so widely put, I recommend searching the
forums a bit. There are many recommendations. You can, for exemple, use the G-search function or look at the logs of learners of your languages. Instant immersion is quite a wide term, is it name of a company, of a product, or a methodology? The phrase is being used quite often in many product descriptions. And if you are asking about the books as well, than the whole forum is full of such information. However, it is well possible you could get a useful answer here on the thread, should you give us more specific information about what you're looking for (target language, your level, language background, goals etc.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There's way too many threads to look through,
but sure why not. Thanks for replying :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Exactly, there are far too many things to recommend without further information about
your needs. I don't think it's worth it to copy whole forums into a new thread. But should you have any more specific question, I'll try my best to be of assistance. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Cavesa was pretty nice about this, but I would've said: If you're not able to take in a lot of information and quickly decide whether it's relevant to your situation, you might want to train that skill first before you make an attempt to self-study one language, let alone several. If there's one thing that is incompatible with reaching working proficiency in a foreign language, especially in mainly self-directed study, then it's expecting to be spoon-fed information.

PolyG, welcome to the forums.
Bao is pretty much spot-on with his comments, as is Cavesa. But don't be put off; these forums really do help self-study language learners. HTLAL is a valuable resource, but it really does help if you ask more specific questions and give more information on what level you are and what type of resources/advice you are looking for. If you are a beginner in Japanese, here are a few suggestions (although I would recommend you to do the research yourself on these. Some of these I've done, and some I haven't, but they might be of help to you). TEXTBOOKS: Genki series, Minna no Nihongo, Japanese for Busy People, etc. WEBSITES: Tae Kim Japanese grammar guide, Erin's Challenge. Also, search for NHK World Japanese lessons. AUDIO: I'm not sure - maybe others can answer - but there might be some Assimil or Pimsleur courses for Japanese. You can also try the website JapanesePod101.com. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
