New Year's Resolution: Learn a Language?
By Katherine Chalmers on January 19, 2011If you're starting the new year ready to tackle learning a new foreign language (or determined to brush up that French or Spanish you learned in high school), consider taking one of the many excellent foreign language classes available in the area. Sure you can get a great Rosetta Stone program to teach yourself at home, but also taking a few classes with other adult learners and a live teacher is a fun and effective way to increase your motivation and success. Best of all, group classes are less expensive than you might expect.
