What is your reason for wanting to learn another language?
I tried learning Spanish for three years, and was going to quit but I kept going because I felt incompetent knowing only one language. I did not improve over that next year.
In college I studied Japanese from a native speaker. In my free time I'd watch anime, play around with calligraphy writing the Kanji I did know as beautifully as I could, and would often interject Japanese statements just for the fun of it. Not only do I love Japan, but I love the language itself, and that makes learning it pretty easy for me.
I got Rosetta Stone for Japanese. I got it because I don't like learning languages through my primary language, but I was disappointed with it for a few reasons:
-I don't really like talking to my computer
-My computer gives me too much leeway when speaking to it
-I can get by with many of the lessons without really knowing what is being said through deductions and patterns
-No chance to practice writing skills
