Default Language software?

I'm sorry for being lazy and not trusting the net for this but, Im looking for a Rosetta Stone Korean software.

I've tried (in my area) target, wal-mart, office max, office depot, circuit city, compUSA, best buy, americanTV, and barnes and noble.

All i've seemed to find were shelves full of French, Spanish (loads of that), German, Italian, Japanese, and Portugese.

Would there be any place near Chicago that would carry this?
I seem to not go anywhere when searching on the web sites of said places i've been. Getting the most obvious languages instead of whats been specifically requested.

Anyway, It would be nice to hear if there are stores that carry the Korean version.

Also, if anyone here has used a Rosetta Stone product.
Quite interested in to why its ranked high.

There is a stand in Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg that sells it. I believe its right by Armani Exchange. Check it out.

Your local library might actually carry this. Mine has an older version, but it's not like the Korean language has changed that much in the past 5 years. Plus, it's free to copy.

I've got to check that out.

Planning on going to Korea about march next year.
Dont know why I havn't been learning some Korean already.
Hoping I can get familiar with it at least, cus I plan on going quite a few times.


Never would have thought a library carried it.
Honestly.

I would check the library first to see if they have it since purchasing it would cost about $250.00 bucks. I inquired on it as well, since I am trying to learn German.

Anyhow, have fun in Korea. Been to the airport. Saw tons of raver looking people.
