I'm trying to learn German, though its a slow process without classes.

Me too. I had instructional tapes years ago but they wore out.

i hear Duolingo is a good place to learn languages. they have a website, iOS, android and windows phone app.

Hi, if you want I can help you and all theothers which are probably there. And duolingo is great. The website is www.duolingo.com. It is more or less accessible for JAWS.

Its good for vocabulary, not so much for sintax.

I gave up on the DuoLingo app, but I'm still very much interested in learning.
I wonder if a few of us could organize a Skype chat, or in some other way work together? It just helps tremendously to be accountable, sort of, to someone, at least for me. Otherwise I get lazy, stop for a while, and forget everything. I'm not trying to learn for credit or any class, just for myself, so spoken language is most important, not writing--although I find personally that it helps to know how the words are spelled.
I have and would be glad to share (through Dropbox or Sendspace) the Pimsleur mp3's, the Paul Noble audio lessons (just the beginning ones, which I haven't managed to get through. They're a bit slow.) also Innovative Language Learning, Level 1, which I have yet to delve into. (I hoped I could finish one of the others first.)
I don't have thoughts on how useful any of these are, long term, but Pimsleur's format worked pretty well for me, though I got bogged down in the second batch of lessons, and went looking for another audio alternative, just to see whether another approach and system might suit better.
Carinchen, if you have the patience, I'd love to work with someone who speaks the language well!
