Anyone ever try their products to learn a new language? I'm looking to learn my native tongue so I can curse you all out in Korean, or at least Korenglish and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I tried Berlitz to learn German, but I quickly lost interest (Probably because I was distracted with driving to work).

It's an expensive product ($500 for the 3 series) and trying to figure out if it's worth the expense?

EDIT: I also want to learn it so I can speak Korean around non-Korean speakers and make them think I can't speak English, just to mess with their head. Is that wrong?

 

I think its worth it if you have the extra cash. Its a really good program supposedly.
You never know when another language would come in handy.

EDIT: And yes, that is wrong. But oh so funny. I personally like when, for example, you go to a Chinese restaurant and the workers talk bad about you in a foreign language...thinking you don't speak it. My dad speaks fluent Chinese, so he picked up on quite a few of their insults toward us
(bad tip ect.)

 

i guess i should go ahead and learn chinese.. since we will probably have to go there to get a job in the next couple of years.

 

Im assuming you're talking about IT outsourcing?

As long as you're in an area where they actually need a technician there to fix customers computers, set up networks, ect, you will always have a job here.

Now something like programming or over the phone tech support can be easily outsourced to India.

 

This is true tech, but so much more can be done remotely now than ever before, and the amount of hands on techs you actually need is minimal. In fact, it's most viable for a company to outsource their phone support and remote administrators while keeping a tech teamthat covers a small geographical area...

 

Why not just download it off of piratebay or something for free?

 

I just got latin american spanish installed on my work conputer today, havent had a chance to use it yet, but it was expensive 549 for level 3 with audio companion. I'll update once I use it

 

i've thought about using it to learn viet ... seems like it might actually work but thats alot of money to throw down

 

ive used it several times in the army we get it for free

 

Ok...and....????
