Hi Danman
I too have Rosetta Stone, it is good if you are dedicated, but I find that it is written for American users and the Spanish used tends to be South American?Mexican
some of the words (nouns) used differ from Spain but would be understood, a bit like the Americans say Elevator, Sidewalk, Fender etc we know what they mean but we would say Lift, Footpath and Bumper. Most people out here would agree that theres nothing like "The real thing" and it can be both fun and educational talking to local Spanish people about everyday subjects.
Anyway best of luck
