Default any experienced "rosetta stone"?

i've been trying to learn
a couple of different languages
but due to my workload,
classes or tutors are not going to happen.

during my business trip
i saw "skymall" catalogue on the plane
and saw the ad.
(you know, that annoying blondie with a finger on her laptop...)

what do you guys think?

From what I've seen, probably the best you can find right now. However everyone learns differently, try one out.

Go to your local library and see what they have. I know mine has a bunch of different languages, and it's all free.

Everyday I sit in my ochem class thinking they need to make my ochem book into a cd and upload it into my brain.

I've heard it's excellent software from several people who use it.

Learning a new language is hard, however. This software will teach you a language if you work hard at it, but it does not make it easy. That's the distinction you need to know before starting.

If you're looking for a good way to learn, try it out. If you're looking for an easy way to learn, good luck, you'll be searching for a long while since I don't think this exists.
