For the amount of money that the Rosetta Stone software costs... Larry Send a noteboard - 11/08/2010 05:35:37 PM
And presuming you live anywhere near a large urban center, you may be better off searching for local classes in the language. I live about 45 minutes from this place, but if I wanted to learn, say Arabic, I would go the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute and pay a few hundred for a live person to teach me in live classes than to depend upon software to do so.

You might be able to find it cheaper in urban areas (I'm presuming you live in Southern California, based on that "Valley accent" comment?) such as LA to find someone to teach it to you for $50/week or so.

If thats true then I definitely can't tell you! *NM* Dark Knight - 12/08/2010 06:15:24 AM 247 Views
It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* Tim - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 294 Views
Because my free time consists of 2 hours before bed *NM* Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 05:45:16 PM 250 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 648 Views
Very helpful! Thanks! Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:09:09 PM 603 Views

I think you're missing the important thing here. Why does she want you to learn it? *NM* Palatine - 11/08/2010 06:32:58 PM 242 Views
Because she speaks to her family/friends in her language and doesnt want me left out Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 575 Views
Okay, but none of them speak English? *NM* Palatine - 11/08/2010 06:42:25 PM 256 Views
