Oh, and don't forget, Michael Phelps uses it, so you can't go wrong.:D
Heh heh.. He can hardly speak English. Did you watch any of his interviews? Painful.

Yeah, he definetely has a speach problem... but who cares, he isn't making millions of dollars and winning 14 golds over the last 2 olympics for talking....

I have it. I have the Latin Spanish one.

I'm going to teach myself fluent Spanish in 6 months. It's one of those personal challenge things. Haven't started it yet. Will soon though.

i have been taking spanish at school since the fourth grade, and only recently have i been able to speak in even the most simple sentences. i have been thinking about taking rosetta stone over the summer to give myself a bit of an edge in junior year

it's good, not the best though. Look up on Pimsleur.

Their advertisements are a little exaggerated... but it works great. My fiancee uses it for spanish, and I am about to order the arabic version.

I don't know about their software, but my wife has been listening to the Pimsleur audio CD's (Spanish) and she likes them pretty well. A big plus is that they are available at the local library. Also, being just a normal audio CD, they're easy to copy (for personal use, of course...)

I have read and heard great things about Rosetta Stone. My new gf speaks only spanish and I failed spanish in high school three times (okay, I failed it the first time because of the grammar; the other two times I skipped out too many times to pass). Talking with her while using google translate has helped me a lot, but I see the need for rosetta stone in my future. I wish it was not so expensive! I heard the public libraries may have it installed on their computers but not available to be checked out.

I have heard of them as well.
I'm looking to learn arabic too, thankfully my best friend is Lebanese so I can get a head start.

Pimsleur is ALOT cheaper than Rosetta-on ebay you can get conversational spanish for less than 30 bucks--and they have alot of other languages too.. i think i may get the spanish one..
