The best software for self-learners of German

The new CD-ROM for "Schritte 1 - 2" is finally available.
But though I consider SCHRITTE to be maybe the best German-Course
for most classes, I was a bit disappointed: The CD-ROM offers a lot of useful exercises - about 1400 items (things to click or write) I would say -
and all is fine, but it is also not very interesting or motivating.
I expected more creativity from HUEBER (the leading publisher).
Thus the winner is still: The CD-ROM for "Themen aktuell 1" - it comes as a free gift with the course-book, and it has more exercise-items than any other CD: over 2000.
As the CD is a kind of animated and interactive version of the book
(which was worldwide the most successful for the last 25 years) it may even be
possible to learn German just with the CD - though a teacher in addition is of
course better ... I welcome any comments you have on that!
You can check out this and other software at the hueber-webpage:

Just be aware: The exercises for THEMEN on the CD-ROM are MUCH more interesting
(and much more and much better) then those at the website!!!
(The website is better for TANGRAM and SCHRITTE.)
