World's Highest Rated Training: Rosetta Stone
Ask a personal trainer what "the best exercise" is and he'll say "whichever one is fun enough for you that you will do it consistently." For me, Rosetta Stone is that for language training. Interactive, picture-based training makes doing it as fun as a video game, and you can track your progess.
