I've learnt a few languages over the year but I have always done it in a classroom environment. At the moment that's just not possible. DH's work schedule is such that I can't rely on himm to be able to be home to look after the boys so I can go to class.

Has anyone ever learnt a language online or using the CD's or any other distance education method? Did it work for you or not? How did you go with motivation? For me being part of a class helps with motivation. I don't like letting my teachers down, I'm competitive so I don't like falling behind my classmates and the routine of going to class helps me to study and practice my vocab, grammar etc.
