I'm currently just starting Rosetta Stone (German) and I'm impressed with it. It's basically "total immersion" in that they don't translate. If you've visited their web site you know they use photos with the printed and spoken word in the language you are learning. Our son and his wife just moved to Germany and I thought I would give it a try. I don't think it will make me conversational in the language but you never know. I'd be happy just to be able to read it. As I said, I'm just starting with the level one course. My wife said that she read somewhere that learning a new language (even attempting it) is one of the best things you can do for your brain. Hmm...let's hope thats true. I can use all the help I can get. How I'll feel about it when I finish level one..who knows? But, so far I'm havin' fun with it. Auf Wiedersehen...
