If you want to learn french or if you want to learn Spanish, there are many resources that can help you. You can sign up for classes at your local community college. You can also take part in online learning resources. There are also foreign language software applications that you can purchase and use to learn your language of choice. However, the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in that language. Challenge yourself and work with someone whose first language is French or Spanish. Speak only in that language for several days, working closely with your tutor and don’t cheat! Go to a French or Mexican restaurant and order in French or Spanish. Talk constantly and write as much as you can in that language. Get a novel written in French or Spanish and read it to the best of your ability.
