Korean is 24 credits! I asked EC about it once, they said whatever ACE recommends they will give... 12 for reading 12 for writing (3/3).
But Rosetta Stone is pure crap, I tried it for Korean (a language I speak a usable amount of, 1+/1+) and got nothing out of it... had no idea what was going on, and who cares about the dang horse.
If you're military (or DA/DoD civilian) look at SOFTS Online. It's a really good program designed for SOF personnel, but anyone can take left over seats. All online (need webcam/mic and a decent internet connection). I did Chinese (3 months) with them and went from nothing to being able to ask for simple things last time I was in Shanghai. Learned about 200 words (written, read, spoken, etc) and the teacher adjusted based off the needs of the students.
