Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]

Thread attached on merging:
Any experience with Rossetta Stone?

Has anyone had experience using the Rossetta Stone language software?
I would like to learn Polish and German, and was wondering if this software is a good way to start.
Also, is learning a language effective if I don't have anyone to converse with?

Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]

I plan on using it, but I'm currently living in a country where these languages aren't spoken, so I was wondering if I can still effectively learn a language when I have noone to converse with.

Study / The reputation of the Jagiellonian University, Krakow. [52]

I'm considering taking one of their Polish language intensive course next year. First I need to make sure my current university will award me credit for the classes.

Has anyone had experience with these classes? I'm wondering if I'll really understand Polish after a few weeks, as I know none right now.

Any thoughts?
