On the left you can choose from a list of over a dozen languages.

lechein, on that first link I sent, for example, if you scroll down just a bit you will see a list labeled "Course Categories" and it will have all sorts of categories you can click on: like Grammar, Nouns, Verbs, Pronunciation, etc.

If you click the links in the top box that is immediately visible on the right of the list, you might get taken to a different site where you have to log in or pay. The link/site I sent is completely free and there is no log in at all.

Glad you find it useful, T.

ok, i guess it's only the french that doesn't work. spanish and other languages let me view the pages. oh well my french knowledge isn't THAT basic so i guess this isn't necessary. i wanted to improve it. but the spanish page will come in handy. thank you MysticMelody!

It's very hard to learn a new language that way.
I would recommend going to your public library and borrowing/downloading spoken language courses.

Sorry, lechien, I only looked at the Italian. I clicked a couple others at random to see if they were all the same and they appeared to be. That's why I thought you clicked the top "sponsor" links.

Right, Yin, it's like an online book. I was going to get some spoken tapes at the library and then got distracted with other choices.

I just thought it was interesting that the information was available online for free so I took the time to make a thread to pass on the information in case it was interesting or helpful to anyone here in any way.

Early summer makes me dream of Italy.

Thanks Mel. I'd like to brush up on my Spanish.

......"my Spanish" consists of about twenty words.

I started looking into the Spanish one. At first it didn't seem like there was going to be much there, but I looked around and it seems pretty cool. I'd love to learn some more languages.

yes it's best to combine different methods, like radio and tv courses and actual lessons.

T and AG, we should totally create an "All Spanish" thread and speak to each other in our crappy Spanish. I took "4 years" in high school (um decades ago) and I remember a few fascinating blurbs I will share with you. In fact, I'll start the thread right now.
