Learning A Language

I had to spend a week in other country. I do not plan on having my own personal translator and I would not want to. If I am going to get around in a foreign land, I am going to prepare myself first. I need to know the essentials in order to survive in a foreign place. My grandfather told me that money is a universal language. I suppose this is true, but I would have no intention on pulling out a dollar everytime I need something. I think the best thing to do is to take a community college course, if they have it available. My friend takes Japanese at a community college, which is great. If I am unable to do this, then I will try to raise money to buy a language-learning program. I may buy Rosetta Stone because I heard that it is one of the most popular language learning systems and it is very affective.

One of the most affective ways that people used to do is send a child to live in a foreign home and eventually they would pick up the language. I am sure that this would work, to a certain extent. I may be able to understand what them, but I would want to be able to communicate with them in their native language. I think the best thing for me would be to buy Rosetta Stone or take a regular class, or get help from a friend who is a fluent speaker of Japanese.
