My favorite modern language series is the old 1950s Berlitz Self  Teacher 
series.

I also like the Pimsleur tapes which are quite expensive, though.

The "Talk Now" software is also good for totally raw beginners. I often see  
it bundled in the "Instant Immersion" bundles.

Also do not be afraid to order kiddie stuff. It works and is a good, non  
threatening way to start. Software, coloring books, videos, music, etc.

I used to have an audio tape course developed for people about to go on a  
missionary trip, that came in many languages, but I don't have it anymore. The  
speaker swallowed his spit alot, though :-0

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary's Goddard Library is interested  in
purchasing self-study language courses for a few modern  languages--German,
French, Spanish, Italian, etc. I was wondering if anyone  has any strong
opinions as to which program is best for an academic  environment. I know
that nothing replaces actually taking the course or  being "immersed," but
I'm sure that there are some good courses using audio  and print materials
that could help someone before they take a two month  Summer German course or
its equivalent.
