Do any of you guys speak another language fluently? To the point where you could get by living in a foreign country?

I'm looking to finish my degree in either France or Spain and wouldn't mind learning the language abit before going. Did the standard 5 years of language in school but that was too long ago to be of any use and I wasn't particularly interested in it at the time.

Clocked one piece of software called Rosetta Stone which is selling for £479. I would download for free obviously but I'm guessing it must be alright for that price?

Rosetta Stone

I'm not looking to pay £100's for a college/uni course so wanted something I could do myself.

I need to move to another country so I am thrown in at the deep end, that will motivate me because right now my speaking is a lot better than my reading/writing.

trust.

my aunt moved to germany and shes fluent now. pronounciation/accent sound on point as far as i can tell (then again im no expert).

on the other hand, cant say how much it would help your reading/writing - i suppose you'd have to learn to read, a bit, but wouldnt you speak a lot more than you'd need to write?

depends on ur job etc i guess

Russian

But I sound like a completely different person in Russian

Since I went to uni I have improved my English accent so I sound more refined, but when I speak Russian I speak in a harsh Moscow accent with all f*cked up grammar and slang and random belorussian words and slurred vowels. Ie I sound like a working class Moscow person.

I also have quite good French, I think I could definitely get by in France without having to use much English if I went there tomorrow
