Agreed. About three years ago, I torrented Rosetta Stone. Took about 16 hours to download. Opened it up, went through about five minutes of material. And deleted it. It's a waste of time. You would be much better on your own than using Rosetta Stone.

So, in conclusion (IMO)

Classes are the best option out of the three. If you can't get into classes, then study on your own. It's not that hard. Rosetta Stone/other software, is an absolute last resort.
