re: How easy is it to learn a new language ? And Rosetta Stone vs Babel

I got Rosetta Stone and it really did work wonders. I thought it would be impossible to learn a foreign language. There are dialects and accents and shite you can’t really learn quickly but within 3 weeks I was already fully functional and maybe even “fluent” for a foreigner. Yep - 3 weeks and I can speak Australian.
