A few weeks ago I visited the Rosetta Stone Website to look into Hebrew courses. Not convinced I have the time/ability to learn like this online, I declined.

But those clever folks are using remarketing so I see the ads occasionally on other sites. And today my cousin sent over a scanned notebook from 1949 containing the notes and draft letters my great-aunt used to learn English when she immigrated from Afrika.

So now I'm all revved-up with the idea that I really should maintain some fluency in another language. But I've always been bad with language acquisition. Has anyone here ever tried/know anyone who tried learning a language (or something else difficult) via online learning?
