See..........that's the funny thing about German for me. I've never studied it and the only time I have in Germany consists of a 2 week vacation and many trips through the Frankfurt airport. Yet........I understood that perfectly. :D

The Rosetta Stone is a great program, developed right here in my home town of Harrisonburg VA. I have Levels I and II of Russian sitting here collecting dust (unfortunately) because of all the other schoolin' I have going on.

good stuff for anyone looking to learn a language outside a normal classroom...

Same here. All I've seen of Europe in my time here is the inside of Frankfurt and CDG...>:(

Und Sie sind einer Deutsche sprecken man.

If my years of German study still hold up. Its been a LONG time since I've tried anything with German. Lately I've been trying really hard to get better at my spoken Spanish. Been thinking about the Rosetta Stone software, actually. If I could get myself fluent, my life would be safer.

Given your line of work and where you live I would have thought that the service would offer courses, and you should be able to write off the software as professional developemnt

They offer courses that has been helpful, lots of very specific training. However, they won't pay for the software or additional training. The training they offer are 3 day long courses specific to some things that teach you some phrases and words. That's it.[:/]

I took 3 years of German in high school and 2nd year in college. When I got to the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, they asked me not to speak German. :(
I was limited to "Ein Mass."

One thing you can do to improve your understanding of spoken Spanish is to listen to the Spanish-language talk radio stations.

Those folks generally have pretty clear accents; better than what you'll hear on the street, but that makes it easier for you to understand.

Once you understand everything on the radio easily, you'll be doing fine. It's part of that practice-makes-perfect thing. If you don't get the opportunity, that's one way to make the opportunity.

I do that. I also watch Spanish TV, especially if they have a movie on that I've seen enough times to know whats going on and what is generally being said. It has helped me with the understanding quite a bit.
