Language Tapes/Cds?

Is this for your two mile commute? It will take you a year to learn to count to 10.

Well yeah ok. At present it's a two mile drive but I might start walking it.

Forgot to mention: ISTM that one of the big plus points is that when driving alone, you can play a language CD that asks you questions, or gets you to repeat phrases, and can allow yourself to practice your execrable pronounciation loudly and with gusto (¡con mucho gusto!).

Yeah, walk two miles while talking to yourself in a foreign language. No one will stare.

You could switch your satnav to a foreign language and learn it that way. At least then if you had a contract with a foreign company and they asked you to do something you didn't want to you could tell them where to go.

The vocabulary won't be comprehensive, but it is a great way to get thinking in the language. It's also excellent for equipping yourself in giving taxi drivers directions or asking for directions when on foot (or when the satnav doesn't know about some new road, which happened to me last summer).

As would goose stepping, shouting "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, über alles in der Welt".
