    What is the easiest way for me to learn a language for free?
    I'm trying to learn languages an teachers are hard to come by an free language software is harder to come by from my expereiences. I don't learn very well at all from the translation sites such as Google an bing translators plus I have heard that they can be inaccurate.

    Move to the country that speaks the language you want to learn... nothing like learning a language using the sink or swim method. Survival is a powerful incentive.

    I learned my second most proficient language that way.

    The public library usually has language learning software. Rosetta Stone is very good for example.

    Never underestimate the survival instinct. You will be amazed what you are capable of accomplishing in the right situation. You asked the easiest way... and having done both, with the classroom thing on a third language. The classroom is slower, less efficient and more difficult. But everyone's experience might not be the same.
