My girl used Rosetta Stone for a little while trying to learn Italian-- I wound up learning a bunch of words just sitting there with her. It seems like a good way to learn a bunch about a language, especially if you are an analytical type of person.

I don't know if you know how it works or whatever but they put up four pictures and a word or phrase and you have to pick the picture that corresponds. First you kind of randomly figure out that like uhh the word for chair is X through trial and error. Then it will show you maybe like a picture of a couch, a picture of a chair, a picture of two chairs, and a picture of two couches and it will say the word for "two" and the word for chair, so you now learned the word for two and so on.

It gets to be pretty complex where you get into entire sentences with tenses and what not and you have to figure the rules out as you go along. The fact you have to figure it out makes it really engaging so you can almost learn by accident.

The thing it won't do for you is make you be able to speak the langauge really well, but nothing will I think. It will give you enough to go around and talk like a caveman about what you want, which is probably enough to then go for something more complex.

Thanks for the review.

So basically you'd be like many immigrants that you hear in the US as they're learning english. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
