I have been learning French for about a year now. I am just about done with Pimsleur French. I have finished disks 1 and 2 of Rosetta Stone, but I really did not like the program. After I finish Pimsleur, how can I continue to learn the language besides for taking a class or living in the country (I am going to to this over the summer, but I want to continue learning in the meantime).

http://www.capsulecorp.org/french (this program is basically just like Rosetta Stone, but much more affordable. It only costs $99 – I strongly recommend this for you, since you’ve already used other programs)

Once you are finished with the 100 available lessons of Pimsleur French, you should really find someone to converse with in the language. There are people you can connect to with Skype for example. Building up thematic vocabulary (based on your needs/interests) is also a good thing after Pimsleur. BYKI is pretty good for that.
