Rosetta Stone

Anki - https://github.com/dae/anki

It's obviously not as full featured as Rosetta Stone, nor does it come with courses, nor does it use voice recognition - but it does rely on basically the same research into memory and I've had a lot more success using Anki than Rosetta Stone.

Check out duolingo.com Translate the web as you learn a language.

Disclosure: My professor at CMU runs the company.

duolingo isn't open source, so goes against the question.

That being said, duolingo is awesome :)
