Re: Any good software for learning a foreign language?

Rosetta Stone is grossly overrated. It will teach you basic words fairly well. Anything more advanced or conversational is pretty much hopeless.
I'm going to guess that living in the country of the language you want to learn isn't possible? I'd try to get a tutor who is a native speaker. That will at least be close.
It's incredibly hard to teach yourself a language correctly.

I've heard very mixed stuff on Rosetta Stone. It really doesn't seem to favor either way.
As far as conversational, to me, the only real way to get that fluent is to live there. So I'm not aiming my sights that high. To me, it would probably sound more broken than foreigners coming here. Yet, even those foreigners can get their points across. Complete fluency is way on the back burner.
