My son is homeschooled and has used a computer software program to try to learn German. (tough language!)

It's kind of a conversational learning experience. They give you a story that you follow along and learn different phrases and words as you go. It's not available for retail, since it's for schools only.

However, I think that type of program is a good one. You can read it, hear it, and try to imitate the sounds as you go. Much better than just learning it in your car - it really helps me to read something instead of just listening to it.

And the story helps you understand a little better too, and keeps your interest up more than if you were just repeating words. If you can find something like that, that's what I'd recommend.

Good luck!
Kathy
