Audible.com has some good audio only language courses. These are not
intended to replace "real" language instruction but do give you a
surprisingly lot of words and phrases (without traditional
memorization). I used their Hindi course and a combination of the
audio file followed by spending a fair amount of time in India has
brought me to a point of moderate conversational Hindi and I use it to
talk to street vendors and others who do not speak English. I know
nothing about writing the language But I can get help when I need it
in places where my friend (female) cannot bring me.

Hello all,
I have a quick question; I want to learn vietnamese, an am having a
hard time finding anything that doesn't require a credit card
number. I'm looking for auditory, but it'd be really cool to get
jaws to read the letters too, so I could learn how to read and write
it.
Any ideas on where I can get some audio stuff on this would be
awesome.
Thanks,

My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.
