Thanks for reading my rant lol :D
Yeah, it's really nice to get up and running with a language you know nothing about yet. It's probably not really helpful though if you already know it a small to moderate amount.
While I'm paying for their subscription, I do need to point out that, should you be inclined to sail the high seas, bounty is easily found; after all, it's really just some audiobooks.
Another alternative, older CD versions often show up in local libraries.
Which reminds me, I should try it out. Thanks for the detailed impressions!
True! There's even some of the first lessons for some languages on youtube, in their old, CD form.
Do note though, they updated some courses in the past couple of years to be more "modern" in the language used and taught.
Was a well written rant :)
And yeah I bumped into that issue with so many different lang learning services.. Hence the reason I decided to just stick to courses for my target language.. But it's tough to work full time and take evening courses :/
And much appreciated for the tip matey ;) now where's me sailing hat.. I like paying gold for good supplies, but have to know if the stuff fits me belly first!
