I have always wanted to learn spanish. Does rosetta stone really help people learn new languages and cultures of different countries? I never got to take a foreign language in high school. How much
does Rosetta Stone cost if it helps with learning a new language?

I have the Spanish Regents tomorrow and I was wondering: what is the best way to study for a foreign language state exam? Do you just review the vocabulary learned throughout your high school years, and just learn the grammar rules? Know how to conjugate the verbs and stuff like that? Just wondering.

Just because that many of the immigrants to that country are speaking the language, now they want everyone (from the real citizens to the non-latino immigrants) to conform to their bandwagon?

Go to any other normal country and you'll see that they require their immigrants to learn the language of the accepting country, not the other way around.

What is wrong with these people? is it arrogance, disrespect for the USA, or something else?
Dane... I wont deny that learning new languages can be fun. But there is a difference between choosing to learn a new language (which normally can be done as an elective in most countries, mine included) and insisting or forcing that everyone does so to placate a certain group of people.
Wanda... just so you know... I am very fluent in Filipino (my home country's language) and English, and I am learning Japanese for my college foreign Language subject.

As for the rest of your answer... read my response to Dane...

I'm a pre-med student and I plan to do a minor in a foreign language. I know english and arabic already, but I still want to learn another language. I'm confused which language to pick since I want to learn both spanish and chinese so badly. I have taken Spanish in high school (for 4 years), but I've never taken chinese (since it wasn't offered). Spanish was easy to pick up, but there was so much dreadful conjugating, and I found it somewhat boring at times.
I know that the number of spanish speaking people in the U.S. is rising, and it would be beneficial to learn spanish fluently (especially if I do become a doctor). They even offer a course called Medical Spanish at my college. But, there are ~845 million chinese speakers! and only ~329 million spanish speakers. Chinese seems so much more interesting and on the rise to dominate. Which should I pick?

For high school i need to take 2 years of Foreign language to graduate, and the 2 Options i am considering are Spanish and Japanese. I would choose Spanish because i hear it is very easy to learn, BUT i dont really want to know spanish so its only for an Easy A. On the other hand Japanese may be Alot more fun to learn because it is a very interesting Language to me, BUT im concerned about the Difficulty of it. So anyways How difficult is Japanese to really learn in relation to Spanish?
Thanks for your time and effort!

i'm going onto my 2nd year as a college student and i'm interested in learning a new language. i currently speak English and Spanish. But I am not fluent in Spanish. I am Hispanic so i understand the basics but i still would like to improve.
I want to take a foreign language but im not sure what to take.

I am a International Relations major, so learning as many foreign languages will benefit me.

My options are: Continue on improving my Spanish or learn Latin first and then go back to Spanish.

Is Latin even a demanding language to learn, for me to obtain a job in my field easily?

oh where do they speak Latin nowadays? and well learning Latin help me in learning other languages?

Im in the USAF and i was wondering if knowing spanish would be consider as an extra pay , the foreign language pay.

(cause a friend said spanish didnt count since everyone could speak it)

I am extremely new to using ipods!!!! I have heard that there are foreign language tutorials for free from itunes. Where can I find these and is there a trick to downloading them?

I know its sort of a duh thing, but I wondered if anyone learned to fluently speak spanish or really any foreign language through courses in college, or if anyone couldn't, despite taking said courses.
