DH had a work assignment in Argentina about 15 years ago. We took one of those "fun-ed" courses and he really paid closer attention than I did. So, he could ask where to eat, where the bathroom was, etc. The problem he had was...after he asked a question...he got the answer, which wasn't what he studied. He got by OK because one of the guys in his team spoke Italian...which is sort of close. The Fun-Ed course was fun, but not too educational.
I googled BBC Languages, Spanish and didn't get anywhere. I watched some Univision this afternoon and found that I still recognize lots of words...but not really enough. I've seen advertisements for the Rosetta Stone program on TV, but wonder if it really works. It is kind of pricey and before I plunk down the money for it, I would like to hear from someone who might have used it....any language.
