If you’re a computer-person, you’re in luck! There are a lot of multimedia programs that have been made for use on computers. Most of them combine flashcard-type visual lessons or video with the ability to practice speaking the language using your microphone. The great advantage of these programs is that they allow you to progress at your own pace – and in the comfort of your own home. They are also much more complete – and usually more fun – than the traditional book-based, or book- and cassette-based courses.
A very good example of this new type of program is the Rocket Languages series of language learning programs, which combine audio presentations with game-like activities, grammar and culture lessons and access to a language-learning forum.
If you’d like to try out one of these computer-based courses, you can get a free 6-day course from Rocket Languages. If you enjoy it, or find it useful, just move on to the full course. Choose your language and then grab your free course at the following webpages:
