Language Skills

Some days when traveling in France the language actually makes some sense to me. It takes some time and some listening and trying to pry the words and phrases from the back of my memory banks. Taking FIAF classes helped but I still hope for the day that I wake up and in a miracle, I am fluent, I can understand and converse easily in this difficult language. We are inundated with advertisements for Rosetta Stone and other programs to help us learn a language easily and organically, and although I no longer have the energy and focus since becoming ill, I am intrigued and always wonder which is the best one? Here is an excellent article that breaks it all down and helps define which one would work the best for each person: http://travel.yahoo.com/ideas/best-ways-to-learn-a-language-205521671.html?page=1
