I use Rosetta Stone to learn, and I think it works very well. It's a very natural, easy way to learn a language. The only con I would say is sometimes it gets a bit repetitive, and occasionally it throws a word out that you wouldn't guess from the picture, so be sure to keep Wiktionary handy just in case.

Quintessentially the worst language program on the face of the planet. This program was not well put together at all. Especially since it looks like something got lost during production or the had to rush things to make a deadline. Get the most recent edition (2009 edition) of Instant Immersion as it is much cheaper and you will find more use in it.

My friend learned Czech through Rosetta Stone, so I suppose that it works, but it's just not worth the money. With dedication you can learn a language for free, nobody paid 500 dollars to learn his or her first language.

TheFluffyElf What is wrong with Rosetta Stone, exactly, Koko? Well for one thing if you want become fluent in a language you're dishing out over a grand, I believe it was 999.99 for versions 4&5 of any language.

My French teacher made a similar program for us to use and it works great combined with teaching, however I don't think rosetta stone is worth the money. It's a good way to become conversationally fluent, but in order to keep going in the language you would still have to study grammar. So it's a lot of money for something that I wouldn't use as my only resource.
I was talking to a woman who sells rosetta stone at the mall and all of their employees get the product free. This really makes me want to see if I could possibly do that for my job while I'm in college.

Rosetta Stone...
Its ability to teach you really depends on your own learning type, for me, it isn't worth the money and teaches in a bizzare manner. I mean, the first words you learn are Boy, Girl, Dog, and Cat. I mean really? I think maybe for it to be more effective, it should start out by teaching you common phrases, not random words that actually don't appear in conversation that often. RS also fails to teach actual grammar structure, verb tenses, rules of verb conjugation, the program just has too many holes in it. I honestly don't think many peoplecould become fluent using this program. College courses and formal classes are less expensive and easier anyway. But, this is just MY OPINION which is based on MY learning style, so for others it very well could be different for them.
Just so no one thinks I'm blowing smoke about something I've never used, I have used RS for both Spanish and Portuguese, it is an interesting program, and maybe if they patched up the major holes in it, RS would be an amazing language learning software.
