There was a sale where places were selling it for about $300 which makes it a pretty big saving.  This then generated a lot of responses on how many people thought it was expensive period as there were free alternatives out there that were just as good they say.  <\/p>\n<p>One of the sites that was mentioned was called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/\">duolingo.com<\/a> where it seems like the concept is to have people learn a language by essentially trying to translate foreign phrases.  I never tried it myself, since there wasn\u2019t any languages that I was interested in learning on the site at the moment it seems, so I can\u2019t exactly vouch for it personally.  However, just the concept of it sounded interesting and in many ways it does make sense where when it comes to learning a second language there probably are so many ways like this to learn it for free.<\/p>\n<p>The power of user generated content and the accessibility of the Internet I guess you can say.  So if you need to save money this seems like a neat little idea to try out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stumbled upon something interesting today as I was first hearing how there was a sale for one of those Rosetta Stone software where it normally costs over $500.
