New Year, New Language

What's the best way for my daughter to learn Chinese?
What's the best method to learn English?
There must be some method or technique to learning languages!

I have been asked this question too many times. Yes, I market language learning tools! Yes, there are lots of different books and packages out there for you to choose from. What's the best?

My advice is to get as many different books or packages that you can afford to buy and use them altogether. Get learning any way you can, that's what my English Literature teacher told us 17-year-old students a long time ago. Something will stick one way or another.

So, here's my recommendations of top selling software packages:
Fluenz - top of the line interactive software. Not cheap, but excellent for the English-speaking learner of a foreign language. Instructors have all learned the language themselves and are therefore qualified to teach it. Provides a good basic foundation in the language. Available languages: Mandarin, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), German, French and Italian.

Pimsleur - rated as one of the top 10 language learning methods. Reasonably priced. Uses both book and audio. Has interactive software as well. Instructors are native speakers of the language. Pace is fast, but challenges the learner to "get moving". Available in 50 languages.

There are so many good packages out there. Come visit Fun Language Tools today! Pick up a new language for the new year!

Happy learning!
