Don't do it! 
Seriously, there are free programs that are probably as good if not better. That rosetta stone program is usually over $300 new and basically teaches you vocabulary with bare-bones conversation. IMHO, you will learn more in your first month in Mexico than you will from going through all 5 lessons on that disc.
Hopefully someone has the set laying around and can hook you up, but I'd look into some freebies to brush up before you drop coin on their product. Does Mike speak Spanish at all? I think he needs to pick a night and just talk to you only in Spanish once a week. I'm pretty much fluent (read: fluent but rusty) after living abroad and translating for patients at my last job...we can always force immersion on you next time we hang out

Awesome info, Khalis! I have several years of Spanish courses in my distant past, but am very, very rusty. Never used Rosetta stone, and just assumed that the popularity meant it was worth a ship. Had no clue that there were free programs that'll help get him situated. Thank you for savin' me $300+!!
I love the idea of us speaking only Spanish one night a week, but I'm pretty sure that'd only work if he had to talk to WoW in Spanish. LOL. I definitely like the idea of hangin' out with you and speaking only Spanish, too. Hopefully he'll check out that link once he's done shaking his head at me for this post. :rofl:
