Serious Learning a new language?

[Cardinal Copia]

So, I wasn't entirely sure on exactly where to post this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong section.
For the longest time I've wanted to buy a program called 'Rosetta Stone' and learn a new language. The language I've wanted to try and learn is Japanese because I REALLY want to try and fly there next year. It's always been a dream of mine.

Have any of you used this program before? If so, is the program worth buying? I'm asking because it's quite pricey(I know its cheap compared to a flight, but you get my drift) and definitely wasn't cheap last time I looked.

Thanks so much!

I always wanted to learn a second language. I guess it's just one of those things that have kinda slipped on by. I wouldn't even know where to begin!

I don't think I've heard of that program before. Did you end up trying it out? The price doesn't seem too bad if it actually works hmmmm

I've used Rosetta Stone briefly a long time ago. I can't really give an accurate review since it was a while ago. I currently use Duolingo to study Japanese and Spanish. I think the lessons are easy to follow and they're also pretty quick. It's also free.

I’ve tried lots of language programs/softwares and books etc etc, I don’t think it’s worth spending that much money on them tbh

best way I’ve found to learn a language is to learn the basics through videos (YouTube has a bunch of them) and start writing notes, and the rest is through media (movies, tv shows, music), at least that’s what worked with me

also duolingo is an amazing app and it’s completey free just saying
