Has anyone tried learning another launguage

I used to have access to Rosetta stone.
I didn't do well with it, but I also have a hearing impairment, so the problem is likely in my set.
I've been told that Babble is better. The university that I'm at also went to Babble over Rosetta Stone. That may not be saying much, as these people are whores and go with the lowest bidder.
Sorry, can't help with the French. I can do English and some Hebrew (I'm not that great with that).
