I have not, but FI has. His job requires him to work with a lot of people who speak Spanish exclusively, so he bought it before he went. It has been really useful to him! PM me if you have any specific questions and I can ask him :)
My boss is using it to learn Italian.
The Rosetta Stone package is like $500. The cost would make me reconsider, haha. Books and workbooks would be good to be sure you really do want to go through the long process of learning a language.
My FH used it before he started language training in Arabic. It really helped him a lot. I think it's a good choice, especially if you have a background in language, like you do.
i found that if you already know the language rosetta stone is kind of frustrating - because it starts from scratch. If you are new to the language, its easier because it starts from scratch.
I have the Arabic, German, Italian, and Polish.
Worked really well for Arabic and Polish - both of which i was new to the language.
STANK for German and Italian - i had taken 5 years of German and 6 years of italian before (was fluent in both at one point in time) so it was boring for me and i couldnt get thru it.
I suggest you call for the sample pack thing so you can see if it will benefit you - the sample thingy is free :)
It's a good refresher but I don't think good for in depth learning the language. I'm trying to learn french now and tried rosetta stone briefly that a friend had but was already past the point where it seemed useful. I use my ipod a lot to download free lessons. But I learn faster when I read so frenchpodclass.com has good side by side books in french and english so you don't have to look up words every other second. Also renting french movies and putting on english or french subtitles seems helpful. And then I just went to a used bookstore to buy some grammer books. It's scattered but they have a lot more resource than I found with rosetta stone.
I have wondered about this too, my FI is Swedish and I feel so left out at dinners because I have not a clue what is going on.

Hello Bees!
One of my goals this summer is to gradually learn French (again). I took it in High school and college and I kind of wanted to pick it up again. Has anyone ever used Rosetta Stone? Is it affective? I am contemplating on buying it. I'm sure it helps but I don't know if it's the best out there. Thanks!
