Is Rosetta Stone a good choice?

Q: Do you think Rosseta Stone Language learning program is a good choice? Mr. Myers
A: In general I think the Rosseta Stone probably is the best computer learning solution out there. I tried it a few years ago to learn another language, but the Japanese one is pretty much the same. The hardest part I found was the insistance on “immersion” where they don’t give you the translations of the phrases. For simple things like names of things or actions this is fine, but there were many sentences where I got totally the wrong meaning! But if you combine it with another course for meaning then the actual system is very good. The pictures are a little dated and I did get a bit bored with them, but if you have the patience then I’d say go for it.
Another more recent computer based programme is Rocket Japanese, which is a bit more “fun”, might be worthwhile having a look at.
