Ask HN: Learning a foreign language, for programmers?

1 pointsaepearson11y ago1 comments

I'm curious if anyone here knows of a resource for learning foreign language that's suited for programmers?

I figure we're all pretty used to learning languages (programming) - is there such a thing as a foreign language course modeled after coding courses?

If not - what are your favorite resources for learning foreign languages?

I've found the philosophy extolled on these blocks to be especially conducive to the programmer mentality: http://alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/ http://www.hackingchinese.com/
