Try Pimsleur. You might be able to borrow some CDs from your local library. Pimsleur's method is great, and helps me get the basics of a language very quickly.

I have tried the Rosetta Stone demos, and decided that it wasn't worth the price. They are basically fancy picture flash cards.

I was going to write exactly the same thing. +1

With Pimsleur you will get vocab, simple grammar and canned phrases. With that you can build other simple phrases, at least that was my story.
