I tried to do the training video thing once before. I dunno, I just like have a real, breathing, human in front of me in these situations - I learn a lot quicker and retain the info better, plus I like being in a class with other students - seems like I get more out of it because they'll be asking questions too. And you can't really ask a video a question. (acutally I suppose you could - but not gonna get an answer..haha)

Does anyone know anything about these classes or have any other suggestions? I've self-taught myself plenty of languages over the years - but seeing how I'm sooo old and feeble now I'd rather have some pro tranning.
