Ever learnt another language using software?

[HAz]

Im guessing the best way to learn another language is to get a tutor, but I dont have the money or time to do so.
I quite fanced learning Spanish, and wonderd if these software leasons were any good?

Any one got any recomendations on a good pice of language software?

Cheers

Best way of learning Spanish is that course by Micheal Thomas.
He uses a fantastic technique where he teaches the main words and gets you to put sentances together, so you can chop and change what you are saying to suit the occasion.
Its an audio course, but by all reports and my experience, its the best one out there.

I got confused as I thought the title was about programming

There's free podcasts on the itunes store for both spanish and french , but I can't vouch for the quality of them as i've not started listening to them yet.

But they're free so you aren't going to lose anything by giving them a whirl.

And as they say in france " good moaning, I was just ******* you in the street and thought i would wish you bum visage"

See they work really well I spick like a notive

I've been learning Japanese using Rosetta Stone .
Quite a different approach, and not cheap.

Mary, mother of god that's expensive software.
now for the acid question, is it even remotely worth it?
