    Rosetta Stone is pretty good, especially in Spanish. I’m trying to learn Japanese off of it, and it is a headache. But it costs a lot unless you know where to get it.. illegally or not, if you know what I mean. Not that I condone such behavior, but not that i don’t condone it. Mwahah.

    rosetta stone is expensive. if it’s difficult for you to learn a language, i would reccomend getting it. if you learn languages easily then i advise you look for cheaper ways. there are actually a lot of good videos on youtube. and you defenitly need to learn from an actual person talking. and also when you’re learning try to integrate it into your life. set your phone to spanish. set your myspace to myspace mexico. look at a maual and try to read and understand the spanish part. if you don’t know a word then read the english part. it’s really fun to learn new languages. I can speak 8 (only 4 fluently) and i’m only 14 XD

    There isn’t really a “best”, because everyone learns differently.

    I would ask yourself do you learn from the more analytical side, where you want to know why things are the way they are, specifics of the grammar, detailed examples? If yes, you would likely do best with a text book, or online focused studies like “about.com”. You can supplement those with virtually any set of listening tapes or online mp3s

    If, on the other hand, you learn most by repetition and an intuitive sense, then Rosetta Stone is one very good option. It doesn’t explain anything you see; it won’t tell you rules about conjugation, but if your ear is good, it bypasses that “sillyness”, and you think like a child – literally absorbing the language instead of learning it. In that sense, it’s fairly rapid, but remains quite un-useful for more complex reading or speaking of the language, since you don’t really have the 5-10 years an infant has to learn complexity of a language.

    Another option for most “popular” languages is to keep your eye on youtube. Lots of people have become self-styled “teachers” of their own or other languages, and much of it is very helpful. a resource like we’ve never had before. As close as you can get to living in a country without really living there.

    Rosetta stone is great for rich parrots, who can waste a lot of money, and all they really want is to learn a bunch of words — not use them.

  • Learning How To Speak Spanish

    I tried rosetta stone for Spanish. It does not have any translation, grammar or conjugation instructions so it will be very hard to go beyond the basics with it. It is good for the basics as it is pure memorization. There is no way to be fluent with it. Their program is based on the same thing where you see these 4 pictures over and over again. I was disappointed especially for the price I paid.

    My college uses another software: tell me more. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me and I bought their individual version. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,…, includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can contact them to get a free demo and also ask for a Rosetta Stone demo to compare, visit independent reviews websites(About.com, …).

    The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much.
