I wouldn't really recommend self-tuition. Self-tuition is good when you know the basics and you just want to get better and broaden your vocabulary, but if you aren't sure about the pronunciation, writing, grammar etc. I think it's best that someone who knows teaches you. Otherwise you never know if you perhaps learned something wrong...

Also, self-tuition can be very slow with the progress. I think the fastest and best way to learn is with a professor and/or native speaker or one of those intensive summer courses I spoke of. I know people who didn't know one foreign word who went on such a course and came back speaking the language really good (naturally not fluent, but not plain beginner level either)


Ah right. Thanks! :)

Hm - I should be alright for French and Cantonese in that case..But I planned to take proper courses once university started anyway for the others I wanted to learn. The plan for now was to just get a head start in the summer. :P

I speak English, a little Spanish, very little German. I can normally recognize Latin, French, and Russian. I would like to learn Dothraki as a fictional language.

:woohoo: With that logic, Cantonese would then be *dirty Mandarin* as it's an everyday dialect which pretty much exists only in Hong Kong, haha!
