re: Learning a foreign language

If you are in college, learning a foreign language isn't too bad. Going to class and having someone instruct you makes it easy to get started. If you really want to learn the language and work towards it (study, practice conversations) you will do well.
If you are just doing this on your own, I would buy a introductory textbook or learning system. College level textbooks that have workbooks are great options.
I have studied foreign languages in both of these ways. With the college (or class) option I learn more, and faster, because of the constant schedule and instruction. The 'on your own' option is fine, you just need to be sure to make time and commit yourself to it. If you don't you will not learn much and have difficulty retaining what you covered. Trust me.
Don't just go with Rosetta stone, research other options. There are cheaper and better alternatives.
