Fellas...try http://www.herrington.com for Rosetta Stone at reduced prices. I picked up Brazilian Portuguese and Italian Level 1 for $200-something dollars each last year. They have the higher levels for the same exhorbitant prices ($400+), but if half that is within your budget, you might be able to score what you want. I have Pimsleur CDs for Spanish, and that set is much less expensive than Rosetta Stone. I wanted to step up my language game - it's my greatest regret that I didn't start learning another language when I was in my teens...
