Is it possible to teach yourself a language from home?

Is 60 years old too old to learn a language? What are the best home programs that teach conversational Spanish

  • Answer:

    No, not at all. They teach it to elderly people in assisted living homes, along with other community college courses. You can go to http://www.about.com and type Spanish in their search box (upper right). They will let you learn on-site, or will send you daily and weekly newsletters if you prefer. They are free, and do give links to other resources (some free, some not). I just started taking French with them, and I'm no spring chicken myself. I took French back in 7th, 8th and 9th grade (decades ago), and do not remember a thing. I'm taking their online course before I attempt French 101 at the community college.
