Multi-linguists

Have we got any here?

Been away for the weekend in Switzerland and come back wanting to learn a language - again! My mates out there know about 4 languages each and I barely know one.

I would like to learn French, but wouldn't know where to start really. Really, actually, I suppose I do - ploughing through books and what not but that kinda removes the excitement of doing it. I could always attend an adult learning course or such like, the price seems reasonable (£90 for 15 weeks on an 'intensive' course), which actually seems like it could be kinda fun.

Anybody else do this kinda thing? I think it would be quite satisfying to put myself out and learn another language.

I think I will sign up for a course, one starts in January and it's not far from where I live (if I'm lucky it will be 100m away at the end of my road).

I did French at GCSE level for about 5 years and didn't really pick up much, I always had the attitude of 'why bother?' which hasn't really helped me.

The BBC resource is very good by the looks of it, are there any other free websites for learning languages available? I'll check out the library too, see what I can find.
