Anyone used Rosetta Stone courses? Or recommend anything similar?

Work offshore and have a reasonable amount of free time to kill. Preferably something downloadable/from CD as the internet connection isn't always the best.

Will be looking at French and German FYI.

Have a few french colleagues so that will help on that side.

Cheers

Open university language courses are meant to be really good, and you get a worthwhile qualification out of it. The downside is how expensive OU courses now are

Was recommended Michel Thomas on a recent post. Very reasonable from Amazon, still to try it properly but seems very good. The one I got http://www.michelthomas.com/learn-spanish.php

I love Duolingo, it's an Android/iOS app/game for learning. Might need internet though but it's really addictive and strangely fun.

+1 for Duolingo. Currently enjoying learning French on the iOS app.
