I used the 10 minutes a day book for Spanish. The flash cards were useful. I never used the stick-ons. I now have the book and CD for French.They are fun and "lite". But for both languages, I learned more as well as found more interesting and enjoyable, the Michele Thomas and the Pimsleur programs. They are expensive (especially Pimsleur) so check the local library.

I'm learning French and there are lots of materials out there.
I use a combination of classwork, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, reading easy books, watching French TV online, reading French discussion forums, Assimil, a textbook... It really depends on how much time you have available to spend, and how you prefer to spend that time. I've spent 10+ hours on a single weekend day on studying, so I like to have a wide variety of sources available. Other people get by with Assimil and half an hour/day until they can start reading and watching native sources. Between your library and the internet, you can get a lot for free. Sites like amazon will help you find used versions of some materials for cheaper. Your profile shows that you have a lot of languages you already speak and study, so hopefully you already have a feel for the types of materials you prefer using. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I learned Spanish from gaining alot of hispanic friends in my community and using Rosetta Stone. But, I don't recommend Rosetta Stone. For one it gets very boring and two it doesn't really help you understand the sentence structure. A plus on Rosetta Stone is it is good for gaining vocabulary. A website I would recommend for Spanish is www.studyspanish.com :) Edited by mallorina on 13 April 2011 at 6:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There is a very good series of podcasts called "Coffee Break French" available on iTunes and at
http://radiolingua.com/cbf-step-1/ The broadcasts are both informative and enjoyable. 1 person has voted this message useful |
