When you buy a Spanish vocabulary textbook just because it was 40% off and it might prove useful "one day"
even though you don't plan to study Spanish in the near future... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

All of us have our favorite study materials. You know, the ones you use and think are great. And, we also have very strong opinions about those we feel are useless, designed to separate people from their money with wild promises that the product cannot deliver. You know you are a language nerd when you feel physically ill and literally cringe when someone tells you they are going to order said product because their child wants to learn a particular language and they have heard how great said product is.

Haha, this happens to me every time someone mentions Rosetta Stone. The way I see it, Rosetta Stone could be a useful beginner's tool . . . if it didn't cost a fortune. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I cringe when someone displays belief that you cannot learn a language without going to a
language school or to the country. 1 person has voted this message useful |
