Learning Natural Languages

[Perry Winkle]

I just started (trying) to learn Czech. There aren't any classes in my area for Czech so I'm stuck learning on my own. So far I've bought the Colloquial Czech CDs/Tapes + Book and have been listening to http://www.radio.cz/. I think maybe finding a Czech pen pal would be beneficial.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Advice? Comments?

I've mentioned this before but I'm planning on moving to the Czech Republic after graduation in the spring so at that point finding native Czech speakers to practice on won't be a problem. I'm prepared for strange looks and constant mistakes.

Ahoj!
