youre moving to Karachi? *NM* Aisha Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 04:59:25 PM
That, and the fact I've been unimpressed by what little I've seen of Rosetta Stone is all I have to offer (I gots my OWN problems, man; at least you won't be looking for work in Karachi this Christmas! ) Frankly, Rosetta Stone strikes me as a bit of a ripoff, because it only seems to have the most commonly spoken and learned languages. That is, the ones in which tutors and teachers, free and otherwise, are the most widely available. Yeah, I need to drop $200+ learning Spanish from Rosetta Stone, because my coworkers Juan and Jose couldn't teach me if I really wanted to know (that's not being racist, those are actually their names. ) If I want to learn, say, Tibetan, all Rosetta Stone can tell me is "go find a Tibetan" which I'm able to figure out on my own is the less expensive AND superior approach.

I need some advice on learning a language - 11/08/2010 05:27:52 PM 729 Views
For the amount of money that the Rosetta Stone software costs... - 11/08/2010 05:35:37 PM 625 Views
Haha not quite; Texas. Also why I was so surprised *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:44:28 PM 256 Views
where in Tx is your g/f from? - 12/08/2010 05:44:03 AM 551 Views
If thats true then I definitely can't tell you! *NM* - 12/08/2010 06:15:24 AM 245 Views
It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 292 Views
Because my free time consists of 2 hours before bed *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:45:16 PM 249 Views
And? - 11/08/2010 06:17:22 PM 559 Views
Oh I thought you were asking why I don't go to a class *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:24:43 PM 243 Views
find a new girlfriend? - 11/08/2010 05:45:19 PM 586 Views
Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 646 Views
Very helpful! Thanks! - 11/08/2010 06:09:09 PM 600 Views
Hindi is pretty much the same as Urdu speaking wise.... - 11/08/2010 06:17:50 PM 667 Views
My girlfriend has family in Canada... - 11/08/2010 06:23:35 PM 584 Views
Seems like after two years, it might be time to let her family know about you... *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:43:55 PM 261 Views
We're about at that point - 11/08/2010 06:48:42 PM 517 Views
That makes sense, yes. - 11/08/2010 06:52:53 PM 584 Views
I know the fear, yes - 11/08/2010 07:41:16 PM 638 Views
Is your status in society the same in Indian culture as it is in Pakistani culture? - 11/08/2010 07:46:48 PM 639 Views

Re: I hear you - 11/08/2010 08:09:27 PM 720 Views
I learn something new everyday. I did not know that. Fascinating - 11/08/2010 08:17:16 PM 575 Views
I think you're missing the important thing here. Why does she want you to learn it? *NM* - 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 - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 571 Views
Okay, but none of them speak English? *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:42:25 PM 253 Views
Yes but its really a cultural thing - 11/08/2010 06:46:01 PM 564 Views
It makes sense. - 12/08/2010 07:47:12 PM 715 Views
It does - 12/08/2010 07:55:31 PM 815 Views
No, I haven't read them all. - 12/08/2010 08:08:14 PM 473 Views
Why shouldn't she? *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:44:14 PM 253 Views
Re: Why shouldn't she? - 12/08/2010 07:54:47 PM 534 Views
why not? it's a part of her and languages are fun. - 12/08/2010 03:33:53 AM 559 Views
Re: languages are fun. That depends. - 12/08/2010 08:03:06 PM 591 Views

Yeah, I love the Finnish language - 11/08/2010 08:47:09 PM 540 Views
Ohhh. That's a much better reason than mine. - 11/08/2010 08:49:34 PM 551 Views
