Good luck and God bless. Joel Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 11:50:18 AM
That, and the fact I've been unimpressed by what little I've seen of Rosetta Stone is all I have to offer (I gots my OWN problems, man; at least you won't be looking for work in Karachi this Christmas! :P) Frankly, Rosetta Stone strikes me as a bit of a ripoff, because it only seems to have the most commonly spoken and learned languages. That is, the ones in which tutors and teachers, free and otherwise, are the most widely available. Yeah, I need to drop $200+ learning Spanish from Rosetta Stone, because my coworkers Juan and Jose couldn't teach me if I really wanted to know (that's not being racist, those are actually their names. ) If I want to learn, say, Tibetan, all Rosetta Stone can tell me is "go find a Tibetan" which I'm able to figure out on my own is the less expensive AND superior approach.

For the amount of money that the Rosetta Stone software costs... - 11/08/2010 05:35:37 PM 791 Views
Haha not quite; Texas. Also why I was so surprised *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:44:28 PM 321 Views
where in Tx is your g/f from? - 12/08/2010 05:44:03 AM 719 Views
If thats true then I definitely can't tell you! *NM* - 12/08/2010 06:15:24 AM 331 Views
It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 368 Views
Because my free time consists of 2 hours before bed *NM* - 11/08/2010 05:45:16 PM 323 Views
And? - 11/08/2010 06:17:22 PM 732 Views
Oh I thought you were asking why I don't go to a class *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:24:43 PM 321 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 828 Views
Very helpful! Thanks! - 11/08/2010 06:09:09 PM 760 Views
Hindi is pretty much the same as Urdu speaking wise.... - 11/08/2010 06:17:50 PM 839 Views
My girlfriend has family in Canada... - 11/08/2010 06:23:35 PM 742 Views
Seems like after two years, it might be time to let her family know about you... *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:43:55 PM 333 Views
We're about at that point - 11/08/2010 06:48:42 PM 694 Views
That makes sense, yes. - 11/08/2010 06:52:53 PM 745 Views
I know the fear, yes - 11/08/2010 07:41:16 PM 795 Views
Is your status in society the same in Indian culture as it is in Pakistani culture? - 11/08/2010 07:46:48 PM 811 Views

Re: I hear you - 11/08/2010 08:09:27 PM 878 Views
I learn something new everyday. I did not know that. Fascinating - 11/08/2010 08:17:16 PM 723 Views
I think you're missing the important thing here. Why does she want you to learn it? *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:32:58 PM 326 Views
Because she speaks to her family/friends in her language and doesnt want me left out - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 727 Views
Okay, but none of them speak English? *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:42:25 PM 357 Views
Yes but its really a cultural thing - 11/08/2010 06:46:01 PM 710 Views
It makes sense. - 12/08/2010 07:47:12 PM 883 Views
It does - 12/08/2010 07:55:31 PM 975 Views
No, I haven't read them all. - 12/08/2010 08:08:14 PM 625 Views
Why shouldn't she? *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:44:14 PM 333 Views
Re: Why shouldn't she? - 12/08/2010 07:54:47 PM 690 Views
why not? it's a part of her and languages are fun. - 12/08/2010 03:33:53 AM 721 Views
Re: languages are fun. That depends. - 12/08/2010 08:03:06 PM 750 Views
