My dad used those audiobooks for learning Italian, they're ok but you'll never learn much by using only those in isolation. They're no substitute for dedicated study sessions with a combination of reading, writing, listening comprehension and conversation.

You're not going to pass your course if you are asking now mate.

They are fucking brilliant though.

Really good value I reckon. Fuck Rosetta Stone, waste of time and money.

You never pay for RS, always pirate it. Even then it's a supreme waste of time.

I'll stick with saying that you need to full immersion and someone to speak with, to be even remotely understanding of how a language works.

I think they're excellent - I have the French, Italian and Arabic ones. The French in particular are very good, I have the whole set and listen to them in the car.

I bought a Rosetta Stone and thought, what little I used of it, it was pretty good. Did stop as was trying to learn a language in a country I soon realised I wasn't going to be staying in for long.

Anyway, bumping this thread as I came across someone the other day using: duolingo.com and it looked rather good.

It's free to sign up and seems like it's worth checking out if you are learning another language. As long as that language is either Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian or English.
