Asian Pacific American Heritage

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. If you have some Asian ancestry and you've been thinking about learning the language of your family or ancestors, maybe now is the time to start! There are lots of free resources to get started learning Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, even Hawaiian!

Listen to a free first lesson of Pimsleur or try the Rosetta Stone demo in any of these languages -Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Thai at Language Learning Advisor.com. Or download BYKI Lite for free to get started learning vocabulary or phrases in any of those languages plus many others! - Free BYKI™ Lite download by Transparent Language

Stop thinking about it and start learning now! Or, if you've already started, get motivated and really focus on it - redouble your efforts toward learning your target language and work toward that long-term goal of fluency!

Vietnamese

Vietnamese is the latest language page added to the site. Since I have pages for most of the major European languages, I have been concentrating on adding more minority languages and languages of Asia. Eventually I will have some for more African languages as well.

A while ago I added a review for Living Language Spanish Basic Complete. After perusing a few others from this series (French and Russian), I added a review for the series in general. They are mostly laid out the same way and follow the same general method. Living Language Basic Complete Review. I think this is one of the best value published products for learning a language. I wish they would add more languages to their catalog (like the Teach Yourself series).
