I'm a British Guy going insane listening to my wife babble on over the phone or to friends in her native language, what a bloody racket but as they say, if you can't beat them, join them.
I've tried the self learning tapes but I suck at it on my own so need a real teacher who can give me small amounts of homework from time to time (I don't need to learn the whole language in a week) and see her once or twice per week for the next 10 years or so...
