I've never used Rosetta Stone, but it looks like a steep price tag. Why don't you try some of the free online services to learn a language? After participating for 4-6 weeks, you will understand your own commitment level and then make the jump to invest in Rosetta Stone. When I was learning french, it helped me when I watched TV in my own language and read the subtitles in the language I was learning. I would then do the reverse. Watch the show in the language I was learning and read the native language subtitles. Good luck, Jenny
