classrooms

I don’t like class rooms!
I just don't.
Specially for Language courses!
English is not my first language, and believe it or not, I never went to English classes... ok I did, and they teach me about the verb TO BE but that’s it.. (maybe that is why my writing is soo F bad)
I was in a French course last year, BUT, I just cannot be in a classroom, I feel the learning is not so fast.
So here is my method (careful with the copy rights ok?):
Step 1: Rent a movie (DVD).
Step 2: Watch it in English and Subtitles in English
Step 3: Watch it again in French and with French subtitles.
(After all, i believe that is how i learned English)
The key of the success is: when you go to the video rental, ensure that the DVD you are taking has French (or the language you want to learn) option... I rented FlightPlan, Oceans Eleven and Goal (with Kuno guapisimo Becker)... none of them was in French only in Portuguese!!! Any way, now I know a few more works and sentences in Portuguese =D
Something that also works:
Leçon du jour http://french.about.com/library/weekly/bl-dailylesson2.htm
Mot du jour http://french.about.com/library/motdujour/bl_motdujour.htm
Citation du jour http://french.about.com/library/quotes/bl-quote-feb.htm
I may also make some posts in French!!!

Hi!
Thanks for the tips about studying languages and especially French. I am trying to learn French, but sitting in the classroom 4 hours a week is really "painful".
Good luck!
