Anyone tried the Rosetta Stone Language software?

See, I could never do Rosetta Stone.  I don't have the discipline.  In the car, well, what else am I going to be doing when I'm driving for an hour?  But when I'm at home there are an endless number of answers to that question.  Hell, how can I be expected to work on a computer based language program when BYOAC is only a click away?
ChadTower:

You have to be able to do both, bro... that's how I survive.

BYOAC updates via RSS... all work in other windows.

Hey shardian, I just remembered something I forgot to add.

Have you checked out your local liebary?  I was going through all the different "on CD" methods they had when I found out about Pimsleur from shmokes.

Might be a cheap and easy way for you to test out a bunch of different types, then go buy the one you like.

Well I think maybe the thing (sort of) in favor of Rosetta Stone is that it's quite fun to do. It's almost like a computer game. The problem is that at the end of it all you didn't learn a whole lot. Like every language course, you have to do it over and over again. Then the discipline really needs to kick in. Doing the Rosetta Stone course more than once is not very likely.

I took an 8 week Spanish course and then went to Argentina for 2 years. I found out the first week I was there that what I learned in my course was Mexican Spanish and not Argentine Spansh (Castellano). They have a totally different vocabulary.

Don't ask for a piņa in Argentina. You won't get a pineapple, that's for sure.
