So you'll keep using it, and you'll learn more! That's language-learning success. That's Rosetta Stone. No translation or memorization required. The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That's the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this. Think about all of the ways you've tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorization.
Instead of taking a "direct flight" from your brain to your new language, translation and memorization connects you to your old language. You always have to "fly" from your brain, to your native tongue ... and then translate what you've memorized to communicate. That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You're going to make a lot of "connecting flights." That's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail. Enter Dynamic Immersion. This method encourages you to think like a baby. You'll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create. Innovative technology. Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you're speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident. Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Develop command of the language as you master conversational language skills across five levels. Gain the confidence to share your ideas and opinions. Develop conversational skills to plan adventures, care for your health and move abroad. Talk about government, work, movies and citizenship. Discuss family and traditions. And celebrate success.

Total Ripoff August 26, 2010 Dr C (Florida) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I speak or read five languages to some extent and know a little of some ten or so others. RS is a total ripoff. The glowing, five-star reviews clearly were written by hacks who work for the company that puts out this trash. You can get better or just as good online language programs for free. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Compatibility issues with multiple languages on the same computer August 25, 2010 R. Vignato (Oakland, CA) I purchased RS French 1,2,3. I then purchased Chinese 1. After trying to install it on my MAC Book, neither will run! I get a 2122 error. Their support is terrible. It's the type of thing where they put you on hold and transfer you and it never gets solved... I'm out over $500 bucks!
My advice... Skip Rosetta Stone software... Too expensive for what is delivered. Not to mention compatibility issues with different versions of their software and the fact that they're terrible at supporting it.

TIPS and I wish I could be a spokes person for Rosetta August 12, 2010 B. Johnston (Mayfield, Ky) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have just completed level 1 for Rosetta in about 2 weeks...but I was dedicated into learning the language (on average 5 hours a day) anyway, I am just a redneck from Kentucky that works as a security officer for a plant with a large Hispanic employees, so I thought it would benefit me to learn Spanish for better communication (we usually have to call for a translator) I heard a couple of bad reviews of this program, but let me tell you I have been able to form sentence and at a basic level communicate with the employees..yes it may take me a little bit of time to form my thought but they understand what I am saying, which has saved me alot of time and effort.
SO LET ME GIVE YOU SOME TIPS IF YOU BUY THIS PROGRAM:
1. Do not let anyone on this forum fool you, you DO NOT need any formal spanish to get through this program HOWEVER you do need to look up words that you are not completely sure what they are or me (esp verbs)
2. Keep a notebook with notes, I write out the sentence and also write out the words and there english saying next to it (EX: arroz-rice) However this is for review so when you have free time and do not have a computer (DO NOT CHEAT by constantly looking at the notes.
3. What has help me the most is learning how to pronounce the word. I mean REALLY learning how each syllable sounds (El sounds like L and "me" sounds like "may") It is not enough to just click on the right answer (which is really easy all you have to do is find the noun (El nino) and click on the corresponding picture (find the picture with El nino (a boy). Anyway REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW
In conclusion, do not get this if you plan on doing it once in a "while" stick with it..Rosetta is a very FAST learning technique and you will learn so much, but you got to stick with it!
