I’m not as big of fan of Rosetta Stone as many people here. Unforgettable Languages did the trick for me, I saw them on NBC nithgly news one night and got their Italian online course, they use a scientific memory method called Linkword and TRUST me it worked well for this dumb Southerner! Oh and they tout themselves as being the fastest way to learn ANY Language think they are cheaper than Rosetta tooHere is the French Free Demo and Information LinkHere is the Spanish Free Demo and Information LinkGood Luck

awesome. Man I'd like to be one of those.

Hmm are there anymore speakers of Latin left? Conversational latin, not just for formal occasions as in the Vatican.
