Many reputable sources claim that in order to learn a language, you must be immersed in it. I agree that it makes sense to surround yourself by speakers of a language in order to learn to think and speak it.
Rosetta Stone takes it one step further. They claim to eliminate the need to learn rules of grammar or vocabulary. "It's just like how you learned as a child!" they claim. This is all fine and dandy. However, after considering the amount of time children spend crying because they cannot communicate clearly, I have decided I would rather learn a language like an adult than like a child. Yes, it may require more work on my part, but at least I will feel in control of my linguistic experience.
