I've only heard of one person learning French from Rosetta Stone and he had a master's degree in Spanish. He said the five levels taught about the same as two semesters of college classes.
Many people love Assimil French (beginner to intermediate) but you may need to start with Assimil Using French (advanced).

Check to see if your library offers Mango Languages. It is the best introductory program out there, unfortunately my library no longer carries it.

The hardest part with self-teaching yourself a new language is the motivation to continue studying EVERYDAY, It's much less stressful when you're taking courses in school you know you have to attend.
I been using Duolingo for French for the past month or so, in that timespan I pretty much reached the level I was at when I graduated high school. Going to continue but that motivation's not really there. Think I may pick up one of those programs, that was being talked about in the previous pages.
I'm four years out of high school now, looking back now, if I had continued to work on my French instead of picking up Portuguese immediately after HS, my french would have been nearly perfect and I would have been in my early stages of Portuguese now smh.
Instead I'm back to square one on both.
