I want to learn to speak a few different languages (Japanese and Spanish to start). I did some research and found that the two most recommended packages for Japanese were Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone.
Pimsleur is basically just tapes or CDs that you listen to. They start out almost entirely in English and then IIRC as you progress through the 30 minutes lessons they start to give more and more of the instructions in the language. The book or visual material is minimal. You listen, repeat and have "conversations" with the audio.
It's good, but expecting to be fluent it 10 days is insane unless you are immersed in the language all day long.
