Has anyone actually used Rosetta Stone before? How does it compare to other providers?

According to the website, the moneyback guarantee is on any cd-rom product purchase (Martin - you mention the cost of £139 only, so was wondering if you'd get refunded if you got a joint level 1 & 2 pack for example (cost: £229)......

There's some more information here, if anyone is interested.........mentions the six month guarantee in the bottom right hand corner!

I've been thinking of getting a Rosetta Stone package.

Just found interesting comments on wikipedia from language experts about what they think about rosetta stone, I recommend reading them here before deciding to buy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone_%28software%29

In summary, the language experts seem to have some reservations about the software. Read the article because I can't do them justice, but I would say think carefully about if you reckon these reservations would apply to all computer language courses or just rosetta stone.

I'm thinking about learning Latin American Spanish. If I think I can afford it at the time, I'd like to get some one-on-one tuition from a native speaker. Coincidentally in the Sunday Times today I found an article mentioning this web site for buying 45 minute lessons over skype with tutors: www.verbalplanet.com

Lessons for Spanish seem to range from about 7 to 14 quid per 45 mins.
