I'm pretty sure how the program works is that they show a picture or symbol, and then show how to say the word for it. This way, you'll instantly notice it, like seeing a dog and knowing the word 'dog' goes with it.
Also, I've got a few friends who take Japanese, and they don't seem to have too many problems with it, plus it's so common now a days with anime and everything, it'll really come in handy!
Have fun! :D

I've had a lot of people tell me it's easy and a lot of people tell me it's hard. It really depends on how you look at it and how much you're willing to put into learning it. If you put a lot into learning, it might be easier. If you just are whatever about it, it might be harder. Dedication is key with learning a new language.
I know nothing about Rosetta Stone, but it seems like it could work, based on online reviews.
