Does anyone have any experience with the Rosetta Stone products for learning a new language?

In my xmas cyber email coupons, I have one for their system. I'm considering investing in some tools to help achieve the goal of learning a second language (spanish).

I don't really have a die hard reason or need to do it. Other than I have always wanted to, and I think being bi-lingual would be a great life skill. Though, I do have some latino students in my classes at the gym, and acquaints, that I would really love to be able to communicate with better.

Any other thoughts on how to achieve this goal would be much appreciated.
