I learnt Danish with it, so YES!

It offers a good grounding. You'll need to speak with native speakers regularly if you want to become fluent, but it's good for getting you over the, "I can't make myself understood at all," hump.

Of course you can be a bit stilted by learning from sources other than people. I once heard a story about someone who learnt German from videos. When he went to Germany he was told he sounded a bit like Hitler.
