Over the years I've studied a number of living and dead languages (Latin, French, German, Old and Middle English, Japanese, and Italian) under many teaching methods. I’m now trying to pick up some Spanish using the Pimsleur CDs. Of all the pedagogies I’ve encountered, this is for me by far the most effective in imparting fluency and command of phonology, and it is also the most enjoyable. I understand the Rosetta Stone series is similar. The method employs almost no direct instruction in grammar.
