Rosetta Stone French Levels I & II Demo
 

Here are a couple of links I found that could be useful, just remember that they are supposed to be for demo purposes only and you agree to delete the files after trying them out and buy the program if you intend on using it long term. But for those of you interested in trying Rosetta Stone this is their French level I & II lessons. Because the
images were JPEG compressed to save bandwidth it was possible to fit both lessons onto 1 CD, but everything should be included albeit with a slightly reduced image quality (I haven't seen the uncompressed images so can't tell you if it is a noticeable drop in quality but probably isn't). I randomly tested lessons and they worked but did not go through the entire program to make sure that there weren't any corrupted files.

Just download both parts and unpack the RAR archive and then mount or burn the image. You can then run it off the CD or install the program on the computer but you will still need the CD to access the lessons. More info can be found in the Docs folder on the CD where lessons and manuals are to be found. The Program interface does support Spanish, French, and German but I have not checked to see if they work. This ISO is setup for windows, the Application software, I think, is different for Mac's but I have had no way to check to see if this one works for Mac's or not.

This is not meant as a replacement for the lessons but a supplement to them, the program's goal is to give you a working knowledge of a language quickly but it doesn't teach you all of the grammar and other things you need to be completely fluent. And remember this is for evaluation purposes only please delete it after trying it and purchase the program if you like it. Thanks.

Part 1 Warned you I was going to delete them.
Part 2 PM if you still need the 2nd link to finish your download.

EDIT: Just thought I would let you know that this is the full version of the program and contains all the lessons, so if you wanted to give, what most of you have said is the best program for learning a new language, a try I download this because the links expire after 7 days of inactivity, so that means tomorrow if nobody has used them. But it has been a week so I will delete this post after tomorrow because this is not the forum for trading software, I just posted this because I have really enjoyed using the Italian version so far and thought others could use this French version.

Here's a great little game demo for learning all sorts of languages, this is from a video series that my high school French teacher introduced us to:
