I use it and haven’t payed a thing… Some things on it you have to pay for, but the basics and more are free.

Does anyone have any data on that?

This is a very interesting area. An update from our side…we have been running some case studies with randomly selected English learners. We found them in a forum on http://www.EnglishClub.com and just offered to help the first two people if they allowed us to record and publish everything. We used just our content in PDF and MP3 with Facebook and Skype. The Chinese learner (Jane, 27) had studied English formally for 16 years and still spoke like a beginner when we met her online. Here are the results (just six lessons later) in audio ‘before and after’ clips (all of the data from every session with Jane and Waldek is published for free on our podcast):

On the other hand with Rosetta you don’t need to be online and if you have the companion disks you can listen and practice any language while you are driving or even jogging!

Each one of them has their own advantage from CD to many language courses, but I personally liked the course content of http://www.Hello-hello.com, developed with ACTFL (The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages). I think they worth more than trying since they are also Free.

The very basic section for learning new vocabulary words is free, but you have to pay to get the juicy content.

I recently succumbed and paid them though, and am finding it quite worth in terms of value vs. Rosetta Stone and in affordability vs. Rosetta Stone.

I wonder if this had anything to do with Rosetta Stone removing their product from our local library.
