Suprised I didn't think of this...I don't even have a library card. Guess I'll have to get one; and I better find out how to get to the library...the only one I know of is downtown and I don't know how to get to it. In your experience do public libraries, or even public school libraries, have good foreign language resources? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My experience is only of Scottish libraries, and they tend only to stock the "mass market" courses like Teach Yourself, Pimsleur etc. on the whole, but they can often borrow other more specialised books from elsewhere in the region (more like a US "county" than a "state") if they have them.
If you've got access to a school or a college library, they might have access to more specialist stuff. Of course, you might find that they're not be able to help you, but you never know until you get there. I've personally only finished one course I got out of the library, and it was a fairly short one. But I got to satisfy my curiosity, so it was certainly worth my time.... Edit: I've just looked at your original message again. The sort of books libraries have here is the sort of book that usually sells for under $20. It would certainly make sense to take a look.

I have both of those books too!! They are GREAT programs in my opinion, I love them. I have self teachers for Italian and portuguese and I've gone through the German and Spanish one's already :) I have German Made Simple (1962) and Spanish Made Simple (1980) They are seriously fantastic, I definitely recommend them. Make sure you listen to plenty of audio/radio/tv!! Best of luck Jordan 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Don't forget used bookstores as well as thrift shops.
