Does anyone know a good english learning software for German speakers?
"Pimsleur" or "Rosetta Stone"?

tried Rosetta Stone for Spanish. It does not have any translation, grammar or conjugation instructions so it will be very hard to go beyond the basics with it. There is no way to be fluent with it. Their program is based on the same thing where you see these 4 pictures over and over again. I was disappointed especially for the price I paid.
My college uses a software called TeLL me More, by Auralog. It covers not only the basics, but also intermediate or advanced level. It is also a lot less repetitive. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me and I bought their individual version. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,..., includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can check out their website at http://www.auralog.com for a free demo and compare too. You can check out independent reviews on the web too Top Ten Reviews or about.com websites.
The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much

Rosetta stone- Rosetta stone teaches through picture association like showing a picture of an apfel and allowing you to hear and see the word apple. Pimsleur is word to word sentence to sentence, memorization. It is proven that picture association is more effective.

How many times are you going to ask this question, this is the fourth...
Stop trolling, it's annoying. You are getting the same answers over and over and people are not going to suggest different things after 5 minutes since you last asked...
