I have used their cheap into sets for a few different languages just to know some basics for the people I interact with from other countries. This system really is fun and it seems natural. I don't have any reason to go deeply into a language, but this is the system I would use if I did. I was amazed how quickly I was able to absorb the basics of the languages I was trying, Thai, Vietnamese and Russian. It is amazing how few words you need to accomplish basic communications. Oh, yeah, and it expands your dating pool considerably!
