Has anybody learned a foreign language using tape/CD/audiobook?

[Jon MW]

We're going to Italy next year for our honeymoon, given that this is planned so far in advance I figure I could give learning some Italian a go.

I can get some stuff out the library but just wondered if anyone has learned a language using something like Rosetta Stone/Babbel etc.?

Basically if anyone has - how did it go? And any recommendations?

I remember John Tab learning Spanish using Rosetta Stone.

He then spent several months travelling around South America, so I presume it was pretty decent.
