Best software to learn a language?

[Dauden]

Hello hello, I'm currently trying to teach myself a language, Japanese. I'm using Rosetta Stone right now and things are going great for the most part. The problem I have is that it only teaches you what can be associated with a picture which works phenomenally with vocab. You also have to infer almost everything. Because of that, it tells you next to nothing about grammar and some of the other subtleties of the language.

Is there some software out there that teaches you all of this about the language?

I don't know how far it goes into Japanese, or two what detail, but the Spanish material on there is fantastic.

For the Japanese one it just seems like an outline for a class. It does show you exercises though.

The reason I need software is because I need some kind of speech recognition. When learning a new language, pronunciation and learning to speak it easily is by far the most important thing for me.

Maybe you can find a student fluent in the language who is willing to work with you. There is really no way to go about another language without being able to use it and listen to it in your own way. You can listen to pre-recorded things all day long, and you will still have questions.
