Al's right - torrents are the way to go on this one... I'd reccommend Rosetta Stone courses personally.

My Dad re-located to France with his job last year and with Rosetta Stone managed to become proficient enough within a year that he can work in French, in a French office, full time (he's an engineer as well so he's obviously fairly competant).

Before his job paid for his language course, he was the most bumbling, awkward foreign language speaker you could ever have the misfortune to meet. He'd regularly combine up to 4 foreign languages in the same sentence thouroughly confusing whoever he was speaking to...

Yeah, Rosetta stone.
