Step 1
Buy audio cds to play in your vehicle. For around $30, you'll probably be able to find a language kit with audio cds that will teach you the language.
-
Step 2
Download audio clips from the Internet. Look for audio clips that include pronunciations of common words and phrases. Also look for audio clips that you can download to an MP3 player for play in your car.
-
Step 3
Decide how much time you can spend each week learning the foreign language you chose. If you commute to work 30 minutes each day, you might want to spend 15 or 20 minutes listening to your foreign language cds. Devote a little time each day to learning a foreign language.
-
Step 4
Buy intermediate or advanced foreign language cds for a foreign language you've already studied.
-
Step 5
Record yourself saying words and phrases you've had difficulty learning. Play that recording while driving to help yourself learn them.
-
Step 6
Play the audio cds you purchased on a regular basis. Repetition is key.
-
Step 7
Shop online for rock or other popular music in the foreign language you're trying to learn. When you've had enough of listening to your instructional foreign language cds, play your foreign language music. You'd be surprised how much of a foreign language you can absorb just by listening to enjoyable music.

on 1/28/2009 English is 65 percent German and 35 percent French (the French invaded England and controlled it for 300 years), so the easiest language to learn for an English speaking person is German and then it is French. Since I am in California I find it easy to practice Spanish since there are a lot of Hispanics in California.

on 1/28/2009 I put the New Testament Gospels on cd and listen to them. Since I know the parables and life of Jesus in english, it makes it easier to learn a language. I can now read 7 languages and I understand 99 percent of what I am reading.
