Cool, I'll check that out, too. I could probably make the Spanish and Dutch a justifiable business purchase

, but Italian and German I'd be on my own. They pop up used on occasion which makes the hit a little easier.
That's the thing, I have a fair amount of time in the morning or driving that I could make productive.
Some friends of ours relocated to France for a couple years and Pratt paid for a French tutor to come to the house for lessons. They said they thought they'd get a lot more out of a CD-type program since you could do it when you felt like it any time of day. And didn't have to deal with a person.
