Wait a throw down the gauntlet ! A second or third language is essential , not only to having a solid international game, but also to have continued life-long learning. Bear in mind the 90 day challenge will, at best, provide a solid framework and, at a minimum a thirst for more study - that can only be quenched by an extended immersion programme abroad. Best wishes on your new and exciting journey

Challenge accepted.
I let my Spanish slip from reading children's novels like Goosebumps to practically nothing. Like, literally struggling to put sentences together. Ninety days from now I will have it back to where I was before or better, and will finally tackle Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal.

I'm in! Spanish... I used the first 5 or 6 Pimsleur Spanish units in the past and did maybe the first level of Rosetta Stone. That was a few years ago and I don't really remember much of it.
So the tools I will be using for this challenge is Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, and other random things I can do. I hear watching a movie you know well in Spanish can really help. I also paid for 6 months of LatinAmericanCupid so maybe I will find some Spanish speaking broads to conversate with as well.

Is it bad that seeing Dora the Explora tied to a chair gives me a chubby?

Anyone got any good information on learning Polish?

I'll tell you I've been learning Spanish for the past 90 days
I used Coffee Break Spanish+duo lingo/vocab books to get the basics down
Then I listen to Notes in Spanish/other podcast to listen to conversations.

Having a proper conversation in Russian by the end of July sounds like a good goal, I guess. Spanish, too

I need to get back in the Russian groove. I finished the beginner's/advanced Michel Thomas last year, now I need to go through them again and memorize before I hit the vocab. Got 6 CDs into Pimsleur but found it way too slow, might give them another go. Also a beginner's grammar I'm 60 pages into. Gotta go back, redo the exercises, then move forward.

There's a Michel Thomas/Pimsleur for Polish. I prefer Michel Thomas audio as it flows more easily.
Also: http://www.skwierzyna.net/polishgrammar.pdf
This link is fucking great!
76 pages of very useful information.
Thanks a lot for that!

Went and saw Cesar Chavez today, good movie. Helped jog my memory a little bit with Spanish.
Slowly but surely.

I am also learning Mandarin. Currently using BBC website, but if you have any other resources that would help me, I would be very grateful.
