I really want to learn Italian because I think it is the most beautiful language in the entire world. I probably should learn German because...well I am one, sort of, along with a bunch of other things. And my practical side says to learn Spanish. (It has been a long time since those classes.)

Has anybody used Rosetta Stone? If so, I would very much like to know your opinion, if you do not mind sharing it. Is Rosetta Stone worth the money? But please share any answers in English. OK?

Gracias.

Aaaauuuugh!!!! A curse! A curse! That typo is mocking me and I cannot fix it. There is a typo in the subject line of this post.

Why oh why do I not check the title line before I hit send????? It was supposed to say "Has anybody used it?" NOT "Has any used it?" Geez. I can't even type in English. Now I must beg an admin to fix the typo that mocks me as I helplessly stare at it from cyberspace. Geez. Why do I do this?

Ohhhhhh, Noooooooo -- I just noticed ------- Not only is it a typo, it is also a subject/verb agreement issue. This is awful! Help me, TH. Help me, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir! Somebody, please make it say 'anybody.' I sit here helpless. Staring. I am starting to wince. Am I in English major hell or something? What?? Am I an English major??? I sure hope not. I write in sentence fragments all the time. How could I be an English major????? Ohhhh, nooooooo.

Boomer, Again


Ohhhhhh, thank you! Thank you, white knight in cyberspace. Whoever you are. You fixed my typo.

Boomer, all better now
