Several students learning languages on their own reported using a published language method (such as Pimsleur) as a way to get ahead in their classes at school. They always report getting better grades than ever before, and even accelerating ahead of their classmates, where before they had lagged behind.
They soon 'discovered' that a motivated learner can go farther and faster on their own than they can using the standard classroom techniques. Of course, this is something that veteran language self-learners have known for quite a while. This leads to the student learning additional languages entirely outside of the classroom and the budding polyglot is born!
The additional home-study with an independent method may be the doorway to a whole new outlook on learning languages for many students. If you are going back to school and are studying a language this year, consider adding another language method to your homework assignmment. Something different from "conjugate these verbs for tomorrow ..." At least consider using the vast free internet resources at your disposal to enhance your classroom study. You may be shocked at the progress you and your grades can make!
