Answer 2

I use the Learnables. I am on year 2 with my kids. I chose this because they have 5 years of it, as vs the 2-3 years other programs have. It seems to me that Rosetta Stone and Learnables get the top marks. They are both expensive. Is there any way you could buy a cheap beginner's program first to see if you are going to be able to make the time to stay with it, then invest in a costlier program when you have proven that you are going to have time?

Answer 3

If you are busy , then you will buy it and probably use it just for 2 or 3 days.

I suggest you to go to a class. It will help you bootstrap yourself in that labguage and then you will be able to decide if you prefer to continue the calss or something else.

I have roseta stones for about 10 languages, yet I have not learned more than 2 languages :)

Answer 4

Try your local library. Some have access to Rosetta Stone online so you can try it and see if you like it.

Answer 5

I'd suggest Pimsleur

It's just audio, but it's put together really well and you learn quickly and easily if you stick to it.
It's a bit expensive, but if you don't have time for language classes, it's the best way to go.
