Very interesting posts lately about the expat life and speaking other languages.

When I studied Japanese I was a younger man, in a traditional college environment. Classes, tapes and spending time with Japanese kids on campus.. It was great, but can't go back there.

I am thinking about learning another language - and "Pimsler" and "Rosetta Stone" seem to be the big two methods.

Pimsler apparently has audio materials and workbooks. Rosetta uses a PC/MAC based interactive software.. Text, graphics and sound.

What experience does the PPOT brain trust have with learning another language as an adult? Thanks.
