Thanks for the (detailed) input, folks! Yeah, I have to say what intrigued me the most about Rosettastone when I first heard about it was the style of teaching. It seems very much like the way you would learn your first language as a child. It would be very cool if you could learn second languages, not as 'second languages' that are referenced to your first language, but almost as an auxillary first language (although that may be a bit of a pipe dream on my part) using Rosettastone.
