    Rosetta Stone trains your speech, writing and vocabulary. And it isn't deliberately designed lie to you, wasting your valuable time. Duolingo may be free, but it's really lacking.

    I like Rosetta Stone. It is very good to use this program when you only start learning a language. Amazing is that you don't need to translate it to your native language. You learn it as a child his first language. And it is good for pronunciation. But it is very expensive.
