I would also recommend downloading this app too (free). The community edition lets you download additional language packs to your already paid app. I have over 100 downloads from it :)

Although the language app is \u00a35.49 it is totally worth it. It's much cheaper than Rosetta Stone (\u00a3500!!) and the cheap language apps are crap. They also have apps from another language to English.

So here is how the app works. You get a list of cards per round about 8-10 and you get shown them, plus new language & english voice. The green button slows the voice down to he's pronunciation.

Next tip: If you can, try and spend some time in the country of the language you want to learn. You will learn more mannerisms and culture lessons this way. Plus it's probably quite beautiful :)

Try and spend some time with someone that speaks the language, they can be a great teacher too. This is winter in Sweden at -15oC with icicles!

Okay so back to learning ;). Download subtitles in the language you want to learn. I learnt SO much this way. With the help of the apps (and my bf) pronunciation was easier to learn.

Then when you're ready, watch a film in the language you want to learn (pick a good one!) with english (or your first language) subtitles. This is quite advanced and more difficult :).

I know that YouTube also has alot of language learning videos. I haven't tried these out myself so I can't recommend any sorry - but this would really help pronunciation :).

Finally I would recommend buying a dictionary. This is helpful and is really good for writing and spelling in your new language and helps identify letters and sounds in your new alphabet :).
