I have been determined to learn French for years now, and think that now is the time to start. There are a variety of software products out there (Rosetta Stone is one) and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on language learning software?
The kind that's offered to travelers who want to learn tourist-centric phases? An indepth attempt to learn the 'daily' language? Something that comes with corresponding books and manuals and grammar lists and exercies or just audio?
Why not start with one of the many free language podcasts in the iTunes store?
I'd also highly recommend finding a language buddy to study with. If you don't have anyone to speak French with regularly, it will only ever be a classroom thing and you'll lose it before you realise.

Looking to learn the language for "functional french" for work.
I'm thinking I'd use software to start and refresh what I learned once, and then perhaps move from there?
