No idea about courses, etc., but on AKO you should have access to Rosetta Stone for free.

No, they dropped that in the last year or so unfortunately. Unless they picked it up again...

During the hour long AKO lecture at BOLC last summer the guy said they had it. Of course, that doesn't mean he was right. I was hoping to learn some basic Spanish, too 🙁.

They definitely killed Rosetta Stone. I think it was killed Oct 1st, with the new fiscal year.

Definitely a drag. I was working my way through a couple and they were surprisingly quick and manageable despite doing them over the network instead of local. Bummer...

Most styles of writing call for a spaces between each dot and a space before and after the ellipsis. I couldn't care less actually, I just couldn't resist.

Rosetta Stone wasn't completely killed. They only culled it to the languages they felt were most in line with the mission. Pashto, anyone?
