Rosetta Stone is so awesome. I have the Spanish Rosetta Stone and use it. I even go into McDonald’s and order in Spanish...it is quite fun especially when the person at the register is spanish and does not expect it from a White Guy.
I see the ads all the time. Is it really worth the money? About 1/3 those I work with speak Spanish. I’m challenged enough with English sometimes (I have a slight non-hearing related disability that makes understanding English rough sometimes [I have to ask folks to repeat themselves often so I can understand — will frequently run TV movies with captions on]. My hearing of “tones” in a hearing test is normal, but sometimes I have to ask speakers frequently to repeat.)
