Thanks to everyone for the advice!
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depended on how you look at it!), my drive to work is only about 10 mins, and requires a bit too much concentration to get much out of language cds. I have started trying to talk to myself a bit on the journey in various languages though, just about the things going on around me. I probably look like a bit of a weirdo... I have a flashcard app on my iphone that I've been using a bit, and I think that's probably a key thing to keep going with, and I'm also trying to do some language stuff on a Sunday night (when the thought of the week ahead just gets too much for finance study!) This studying will proably be going on for the next three years, and I can't face putting languages on hold for all that time. After this next lot of exams I'll be on to having them just twice a year, with about three months study for each, so should free up some serious study time (yay!). My hope is that I'll be so used to studying at all hours that I'll be able to make better use of my study time than I did before!
I know, this is one of times that whilst I'm grateful that English is my native language as it makes things so much easier, I find myself thinking that it must be "easier" to find the motivation to learn a language if you know you need to do it in order to something else...
