The other thread on the Rosette language CDs reminded me of this. What do people recommend for learning languages (self learning) on either DVD, IPOD or some other portable form factor that you could work on while travelling. I have the intro Japanese from Pimsleur on my IPOD but Japanese is so hard it is a little difficult for me to evaluate it. Any experience or comments on the various brands/approaches out there? Probably most interested in French, Spanish or Italian. Thanks for any info.
