I was always very unconfident about my ability to learn foreign languages. That was until about 7 years ago when i read a book that changed my perspective and now I am at least quite good at learning the lingo.
THE BOOK?- The language instinct by Stephen PINKER.
Has anyone else read this book?

Nope, havent read it, is it good, does it alter ones outlook on languages?

I just found this awesome phrasebook, called Baltic, and it covers phrases of 3 languages in one book, Estonian, Lavatian, and one other. I bought it straightaway, too handy. 3 for one, light weight and just totally usefull...

It definately changed my perspective on my own ability to learn languages. I went from not very confident to have a go under emersion conditions. I now am well versed in French, Setswana and Sesubia
