Learning a new language - HibeesBounce.com

Having read the thread a few weeks ago about all the different languages fellow bouncers speak - where did you all actually learn them?

I am going to learn Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese to be exact) but don't really know where to start. I already know the basics.

I know you can buy disk's over the internet but are they any good / good value for money etc??

To be honest, that would be my preferred option as I cannie be ersed going to any classes or that.

Cheers.

Discs can be a useful start - though it takes self-discipline. If you go to a class, fear of embarassment keeps you going.

Are you going there? If so, I'm sure you'll find that, with a grounding in the basics, you'll start picking things up fast.

Other half is from there - she obviously speaks it as does all her family. A good incentive for me to learn the language!

The basics were learnt from her -I'm still miles away from holding a conversation though!

If the disks are up to a good standard then I think I have the self discipline to sit through them from start to finish! She'll keep me right anaw

Immersion courses are supposed to be excellent but having the time can be an issue.
