I did a little Pimsleur at one point but not much stuck. Also think I got annoyed by their business model. Details fuzzy, but that's my recollection.

I did Rosetta Stone 1-3 and that has served me very well. My ear still isn't great (too many words, too fast), but have built a decent vocabulary which makes a huge difference. My bride has a better ear, so she is better in dialogue situations and I'm better in reading menus, museum descriptions, signs, etc. I played with Duolingo for a while which would have been useful, but found it mostly duplicative of what I already had through Rosetta Stone.

I also have Google translate on the phone and carry a dictionary for back-up when we travel.

Best wishes.
