I figured that you were in the Ottawa area as that seems to be where most French Canadians in Ontario are. I doubt I will make it to Ottawa before I head home for the summer but I want to go at some point in the future

Interested in the which way the majority of people here have become proficient in a foreign Language.
Lessons from a Native speaker?
School Language course?
Self Taught/Instructional Book or CD?
I am teaching myself from an Instructional Book with an Audio CD. I also have a Vocabulary book.

I am teaching myself from an Instructional Book with an Audio CD. I also have a Vocabulary book.
Book/CD mainly with some help from online forums/lessons... I speak english of course and spanish (though not 100% because i didn't learn it properly when i was growing up. I'm costa rican descent.)
As for other languages I dabble in: French, Italian, Russian, Tagalog, Mandarin, Japanese etc. I really recommend the Living Language courses (can be bought cheaply on Ebay or Amazon.com used.): www.livinglanguage.com
I also highly recommend this book if you wish to learn languages in general:
The Linguist by Steve Kaufmann [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Linguist-Personal-Guide-Language-Learning/dp/0973339403/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206852799&sr=1-1[/ame]
I also recommend this site:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/
Sites for Russian:
www.masterrussian.com (has excellent forum even for other languages)
http://www.russianlessons.net/home.php
Book for Russian:
The New Penguin Russian Course (A complete Course for Beginners) by Nicholas J. Brown
If you want to join language clubs (as well as other clubs for other interests)in your area I highly recommend this site:
www.meetup.com
We'll hope this helps ya peeps... btw I am always looking for other peeps to learn from or talk to about languages so you can PM me if ya like...

I am, quite literally, SURROUNDED by Mexicans. I have spent many drunken nights bugging my hispanic friends (most of them) to teach me shit. Surprised I've retained as much as I have.

I returned not too long ago. Haven't been posting in the Chat forum though.
