Language learning software - are any of them worth it?

Language learning software - are any of them worth it?

I just came across a website which recommends 5 language learning software packages for kids:

    Jump Start Languages
      Mia's Language Adventure
        KidSpeak
          EazySpeak
            Rosetta Stone

            Has anyone used any of them and if so what is your experience?  I was thinking of purchasing one for my boys to use, if I can get a recommendation. 

            Thanks!

            PS The website I found it on is:  http://www.brighthub.com/education/lang … 59308.aspx

            Hmm, good question.  I was looking for something similar and almost bought Mia's Language Adventure although I think if I recall clearly I was stumped by lack of compatibility with my Macbook.  One of my friends highly recommends Rosetta Stone, even for children.  I'm looking for something for intermediate language learners myself, that i can do alongside James and Scott, so I'm as curious as you are.

            Great question but... [*confused*] ...can you message or email us and let us know how you managed to post as a guest?  We thought we had set it so that you could only post if you were logged on.  Thanks!
