Rosetta Stone-any experiences? Worth the money?

[fillyjonk]

I want something I can use to learn another language, but also something accessible to the dc.

I will be supplementing this with lots of foreign language films (oh the hardship , kids dvds, books and radio stuff. )

In the fullness of time I will also sort classes etc but I can't afford 1-1 atm and there are NO local clubs for the kids.

Rosetta Stone thus far front runner. Anyone with any experience?

ps I have not decided on a language yet! Sorry that thats vague. We are home educating and I want to introduce a foreign language but we are not sure which (if it was up to me I'd choose swedish but I accept that this is perhaps not so practical unless you are a moominfan)

Fillyjonk - Are you able to Contactamumsnetter atm? It seems my sub has expired! I was going to contact you regarding "conversations" in other languages. If you can do please contact me

Gosh, I thought you were actually referring to THE Rosetta Stone, and got vivid images of sitting down with your dc at the British Museum with a magnifying glass.... LMAO!
