I found the older Rosetta Stone for Mandarin to be useless. Pimsleur is somewhat better, but there is not workbook - it is all audio. I am a "combination" learner and I need to see the pinyin (text) when I hear the sounds.

Depending on the language, Fluenz looks decent although it is for the beginning end of things. I agree that immersion and having someone around you that will speak it constantly is the only way to do it unless you are *really* driven and don't have to work for a living.
