So, say I wanted to ride my motorbike to Mexico sometime (say, next year maybe...), or be able to understand my mother-in-law when she speaks (Japanese).
I've had an interest in languages for a long time and haven't done much about it. A little Spanish in high-school and some Japanese informal classes (and a little immersion in Okinawa last summer) is all. My kid has started us (mom and dad) thinking about languages again, and I'm curious if y'all have any feedback on the Rosetta Stone method (or can recommend others). I've played with it a bit but it's too much $$$ right now to buy... although I think the immersion method they use would work for me. They also offer a "homeschool" version that includes recommended lesson plans, alternate learning tracks, testing functionality, etc. Costs for ~ 3 "levels" seems to be consistently in the $400 - $500 range per language, even on Fleabay. Any feedback or words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks!
