There are many different ways you can learn a new language. The first option is that you take a class at a local community college (anyone can enter) or at a language school if it is offered close to where you live. Another option, if you have some extra money sitting around, is to buy some language learning software for your computer such as Rosetta Stone which boasts to be the fastest way to learn another language. There are many free resources online as well to help you learn another language. Depending on which language you are interested in, there may be easily accessible free media online that you can view as well. I am learning Japanese, for instance, and I can easily find movies, tv dramas, and music online for free! I think the best way to learn a new language is to join a conversation group in the language you are studying or to actually visit the country that the language is from. There are also a multitude of books on language that you can buy online or find at Barnes and Noble or Borders. There are organisations like Summer Institute of Linguistics or New Tribes Missions that have courses on language learning. They are Christian organisations and their courses are primarily for people who want to work in the area of Bible translation. They are designed for people to go into a language group that has an unwritten language. The courses include subjects such as phonetics, language learning techniques, culture study etc. Or a good book on language learning is L.A.M.P. - Language Acquisition Made Practical. Author is S Brewster.
