Homeschooling Success!

It depends on if you want your kid to just speak Spanish or actually learn grammar and how to construct sentences. Programs like Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone are probably enough to make your kid semi-proficient in speaking Spanish, but he won't understand the structure of the language. I read a review by a guy who claims he has never come across someone who has completed all of the Rosetta Stone levels and can hold a conversation in that language. It's a pretty bold claim. The DoD stopped using it for a reason, but these were adults who were using it. Rosetta Stone claims that adults can learn languages like children, but they can't. Rosetta Stone might work fine for your son since he's young.

LOL oh come on. "A Guy" has interviewed every student who has completed all 4 levels of every language offered through Rosetta? Furthermore HE is fluent in every language too (how else can he judge their fluency?) I'm not saying Rosetta is a homerun, but that can't seriously be considered a credible counter-point?
