Question Any experience with Rosetta Stone language programs or similar?

I took 6 years of Spanish, including 2 AP, back in M.S. and H.S. but I can't say that I remember a damn thing other than it got me out of taking it at UConn and I got some credits for it. I've considered buying the Rosetta Stone program, used if I can find it, to get back up to speed. It would prove to be helpful in customer and employee relations.

After that I'd like to learn Italian and German just because I've wanted to for a long time and probably Dutch since more and more seed production has been shifted to growers based in Holland even if they're contracting to China or Central America.

Plus I think it would be great for my kids, especially my 10yoS since his brain could use some exercising, to start learning other languages while they're young, it'll make things that much easier for them down the line.

Any thoughts aye or nay? Were they successful? Could you recommend another program.
