No, I used Pimsleur. It's expensive but it is worth it 'A pillow covered in all our tears' | |

Yes.
It's essentially a vocabulary builder moreso than a grammar tool. There is absolutely no translation in English for any of the excercises. It teaches you the way a baby learns to talk. Through looking at images and trying to determine the differences between each and why the word sounds different. It was very frustrating one time when I tried to learn Thai and I couldn't tell the difference between why one house was being called a certain word, and another one was being called another. I finally figured out that it was related to the style of the house--it was old. But when I learned it, it stuck with me. It helps build vocabulary fast. | |

WHen I was doing my Thai learning, it didn't really teach me tones. Alot of Asian Languages use tones and it's very important you get them right. One thing you should try is the online subscription for Rosetta stone. It's about 49 bucks a month or something, and it's pretty much identical to what you get on CD for 200 bucks. Plus the online subscription allows you to access all their languages. | |
