Foreign Language Courses - When you are ready to leran a foreign language, it's always a bit of a dilemma to decide which foreign language course is best for you and your needs.
Not that I speak about you and your needs! There is no single BEST language course. For some people individual classes are best, others learn well with books, audios, CD's or TV classes and don't need a teacher.

Foreign Language
A foreign language is a language not spoken by the people of a certain place: for example, English is a foreign language in Japan. It is also a language not spoken in the native country of the person referred to, i.e. an English speaker living in Japan can say that Japanese is a foreign language to him or her. These two characterizations do not exhaust the possible definitions, however, and the label is occasionally applied in ways that are variously misleading or factually inaccurate.

Some children learn more than one language from birth or from a very young age: they are bilingual or multilingual. These children can be said to have two mother tongues: neither language is foreign to that child, even if one language is a foreign language for the vast majority of people in the child's birth country. For example, a child learning English from her English mother and Japanese at school in Japan can speak both English and Japanese, but neither is a foreign language to her.
