I want to try it but they're so darned expensive.
I want to learn so many languages like German, Russian, Japanese, French...

It's all the rage...
LINK---> Rosetta Stone language program
My daughter has been wanting this for the past 2 or 3 years. She wants to learn Japanese, Russian, Arabic and Gaelic... that I know of.
She started teaching herself Japanese back in the 6th or 7th grade until I got us both enrolled in classes at the local college.
I don't remember anything useful from them.
I want to learn Arabic and French, but I really should learn more/better Spanish for my job.
As far as the price... RS is on the pricey side, but if it works... it really would be worth it.
I've probably spent as much on all the different language books and audio I've purchased over my lifetime.
There was a time I wanted to learn Vietnamese because of the Vietnam War.
I was using some cassette tapes for that.
Fun... but not worth much in West Texas.. I can assure you of that!

I would love to learn Hebrew and Arabic to increase my chances of finding long-term employment in the Middle East. So far all language teaching softwares I saw were paid, while I really only want a free one. I somewhat fail to see how a computer can make you fluent in a language without a real person to talk to ; if I do try this self-teaching method I want to try it for free so that I can first see if it really works before investing any cash.
I did hear www.hebrewonline.com is very good (it is also recognised by the Israeli government) but the costs are a bit a turn-off... If anyone knows a good free program teaching a nordic language (preferably Norwegian) , Arabic or Hebrew, please do let me know.
I do believe however the best way to learn a language is to just go out and speak it to people in everyday situations. My English for example only reached the level I have now once I relocated to Ireland and started using it on daily basis in everyday situations. Prior to that I mainly spoke the sort of English you are taught in a course, but then once you arrive in a country where people speak it as native tongue you do experience no course can ever be as good as just going out there and talk to the locals.
