Ever taught yourself a language?

This is very hard. I've tried a couple of times to teach myself Japanese and failed miserably. Most of it really just has to do with sentence structure and memorizing vocabulary. Anyhow, I caved in and registered for a Japanese 101 class for the Fall semester.

Its so much harder than it seems. I learned more in a week of intensive than I did in a year of self-study.

i tried to learn japanese once. i printed all these sheets from this site, and burnt a loa of audio files to CD to make it very prfessional.

If you (or anyone else) wants to learn Spanish just check out Spanish language programming.

You think you're just gawking at hot chicks and the next thing you know you're fluent in a new language.

That's good that you know spanish because if I remember correctly, spanish and italian are very similar

I think the most important things you will want to learn are basic sentence compositions, for instance how in spanish the adjectives come after the nouns (gato pequeno) because if you are going to be staying there, even if you don't know much vocabulary, if you know how to set up basic sentences I think that will help you the most, IMO.

Also, if you are somewhat disciplined I know that people have had sucess with audio tapes (my dad used to use them for french)but I don't think they will help you that much if you only use them one or two times
