I'd like to visit places like Italy and stuff down the road and I want to start learning some languages now. What's the best way/place/software to learn? I took some Spanish in high school if that counts for anything 😉

+1 for Rosetta stone without and experience.

Lots of people swear by it.

I've seen it at the mall, looks interesting.
 
I was working on Italian via Preslure CDs for a job I wanted.
It does work to a degree. After listening to the lessons I was real good at understanding what they were saying to me in Italian. I was not so good at figuring out what to say back though.

Go to the library and check some CDs out and try them for free.

Draw back to Rosetta Stone is that it is way expensive.

I installed rosetta stone last night, I can understand why it works so well. They slowly immerse you in the way you think about words and phrasing rather than have you memorize terms. Pretty cool. I have the Japanese program.
 
I have Rosetta Stone, but so far, I've only mastered procrastination. I've snooped around it though and it's methods seem quite good (there are no translations, among other things).
