Found my old school reports the other day whilst mooching through a load of old paperwork, I had straight A's and B's in English, French, German and IT, and yet I put none of it to good use, struggling to work out why tbh...

I'm giving it some serious thought into picking the languages back up, hopefully I'll pick them back up as easy as I learned them, either to try and use them in a work capacity or at the very least to kick start my brain as I feel stale as of late...

So the question is, have any of you re-trained in a language and how easy did you find it, and if so what course or books did you use, I'm expecting Rosetta Stone comments, but I thought I'd ask anyway...

I've found Pimsleur the best so far. Rosetta Stone, meh, didn't feel it taught me how to string words together, just the words.

Only problem is not many Pimsleur languages are 'available'.
