The best way to start learning a new language

Thinking about learning a new language? Language learning usually goes with the purchase of several books and an expensive Rosetta Stone audio CD. 

This conventional method is not the best way to start. You lose a lot of time with an audio that is poorly designed, and you’ll never have the motivation to finish reading an academic book, especially if you’re learning this by yourself without outside help to motivate you and keep you encouraged. 

The best way to begin is to get audio recordings of everyday conversations in the target language, and a transcript of these audio recordings with a translation in your native language. 

Then use the technique of repetition to learn the pronunciation. You will find that over time, you unconsciously understand the meaning of new words without even needing a dictionary. This is the fastest way to acquire new vocabulary without losing time to consult a dictionary or learn long lists of words.

Also, if you're feeling social, you can Digg this, add it to del.icio.us, add it to Technorati, or add it to Newsvine!
