Heh, I'm learning Japanese via Rosetta stone and for "old statue" they show me a picture of something Egyptian so now I want to go there too. First Japan, then the world~!

They do that on purpose to make you want to travel! Devious!

How is Rosetta Stone?

Damn them and their attempts to expand my cultural experiences!

It's pretty good, for me it's a lot more effective than language classes in a lot of ways but when you get stuck you don't have someone to clarify it. Everything is given to you in the native language so when it gets to complicated grammatical structures it can be confusing. I usually pick it up eventually though. It's a whole lot faster than language classes because I can go at my own pace (half an hour daily) so in a year I've done their year 1 and year 2 levels.
