I took french for 5 years in public school and basically I did not learn anything past salut/bonjour. The thing about learning languages is that you have to take an active interest in it, rather than just listening to lecture after lecture.

Languages are a skill, they cannot be taught from soely a book (or a web-page), what matters is how much practice you put into it.

So yes, the sites/podcasts help, but its up to you to use what you have learned and practice it.

roger that. Yeah, I think I'm in for a ride with this French learning. Japanese is so easy compared to this, they only have one sound for thier vowels.. ever. It's worth it though I think.
