 Believe the hype. November 22, 2008
With all the commercials on tv for this thing you would figure it was all hoplah. Well, with the perfect interface, the included headphones and the voice and video support, I would consider this the perfect way to learn any language. Optional cds are included so you don't have to be planted in front of your computer the whole time. However, you'll get the most out of this with the picture and video software. Good luck!
The Best Spanish all-inclusive program, ever November 18, 2008
Apprehension finally put aside, I'm learning!
Runs perfectly on my Apple and takes a small commitment of about an hour a day to get up to speed. NO problems on updates, etc. and only wished that I'd have loaded it onto a laptop for daily "downtime" practicing, because I'd be miles ahead just working in public. ROSETTA STONE SPANISH is the best of the best!
An all-inclusive BOX of gear and lessons that teach very simply and clearly. Choose your level of learning options and wire yourself in: my nephew thinks it rocks and navigates through it with ease, so this is perfect for a wide range of ages and aptitude.
I practice on one of my friends at work, which always is a good thing and welcomed. The sign of respect anywhere on the planet is to try to speak the language, and here it is, an amazing multi-level program that IF YOU KEEP PRACTICING will make you great at Spanish. It can work for more than one user, so do so! Voice ID makes it REALLY work!
This is a very complete suite of courses; commit and you'll rock. Even after just a level, I can order food (with a smile for the effort) and converse pretty well. And, best, a kid can do this (although I'm catching up to my kid who absorbed Spanish).
I'm still using it, and this review has no negatives yet! If this old guy can learn it, make the $$$ commitment and go for it. Your confidence will soar!
 Excellent learning tool actually makes learning a language fun. November 18, 2008
I had a slight advantage, as I started using this product, because I had a basic working knowledge of the Spanish language. I'm in my 40's now, but I studied Spanish in my junior high and high-school years. Although it may be true that you never forget how to ride a bike, a language that languishes is soon forgotten. My Spanish has grown mighty rusty.
I had no idea at all what to expect from Rosetta Stone. Studying Spanish in school was, needless to say, an academic exercise, and I still remember my early days, learning the pronunciation of Spanish vowels and some of the other letters (like n) that are not used in the English language. I imagined the process of learning those same things on a computer being exceedingly boring.
To my surprise, Rosetta Stone skips those basic language lessons, and skips right to, well, total immersion. The entire program is in Spanish, without English text or translations beyond those on the menu page. Rosetta Stone teaches with pictures; you learn to associate Spanish words with familiar pictures. And you do so over and over again.
The program "mixes up" the lessons enough to keep them interesting. It can use a microphone (included) to check your pronunciation; it shows plenty of pictures for you to choose from for each Spanish word, and includes lessons on spelling and sentence structure as well.
I have not completed levels 1-3 yet, but I can give Rosetta Stone my unqualified "thumbs up."
Missing a cd and recieved 2 of another November 11, 2008
I am very satisfied with the quality of the product. The instructions for installation are clear and simple to follow. The program is fantastic. I am however, still trying to get someone to send me the cd that I am missing from the set that I purchased brand new.
Proven methodology that we are sold on November 2, 2008
We've used Rosetta Stone's products for several different language studies. Their methodology works. It's odd because as you complete your first lesson or two you find yourself thinking this can't teach me this language but before you know it you're gaining proficiency. Make no mistake, there is no substitute for time and effort and learning any foreign language requires committment. But, if you're willing to put in the consistent time and effort you will/can/should learn with this product.
