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.

Rosetta Junk

3/19/2010

I am an Army Officer. Rosetta Stone is provided to us free of charge. It appears to be all the rage now, but I don't know why. Perhaps the craze is caused by the wild marketing campaign by the company. I tried it for a couple days, and found it to be very primitive and unhelpful. With all the photos, it might be good for children under the age of 10 or so. This program is for anti-intellectuals who don't really want to learn the language and grammar, but only want to speak like parrots. This program is not worth more than $50 for levels 1-5 combined.

In short, forget the hype. There are no shortcuts to real language learning. I'd stick with the old tried and true companies like Berlitz, Pimsleur, Living Language, and other companies.

Useful program, sound issues aside...

2/18/2010

I've been hearing people rave about Rosetta Stone for years, so I decided to give it a try. I took 3.5 semesters of Spanish in college, but it has gone rusty, and I encounter Spanish speakers often in my line of work. Because I learned a lot about grammar and not much about conversation, I decided to give Rosetta Stone a try. I bought all 5 levels because I did not know where I stood.

I like the intuitiveness of it - it starts out very simply, "girl," "boy," etc. I found a couple of lessons on Level 1 were too easy, so I went up to Level 2, where I am being challenged a bit, without it being too overwhelming.

My only pet peeve is with the voice recognition software. I Tweeted about it to Rosetta Stone, and they suggested I dumb down the "speech recognition level." But sometimes, I still have problems with it recognizing what I'm saying, though I'm pretty sure I'm mimicking the voices in the program, even with their overemphasized "rr" sounds and the "da" that turns into a "tha." Part of it may have to do with the numerous variations in Latin American Spanish (it's hard to fit the accents of so many countries into one voice). Other than that, I can see it's a useful tool for people who want to supplement their Spanish courses, or want to refresh their knowledge.

Rosetta Stone

2/8/2010

Great Product. Received it as promised, on time and in good condition. The price wasn't bad either. Just so you know, there is NO English spoken in this product. That is what makes it so easy to learn the language being taught. It has pictures and they are being described in the language being taught. It is a great system. Buy according to the level you want to attain. If you are just wanting to communicate with a co worker or neighbor just buy #1 then later go to #2, but if you are wanting to use it on a regular basis for school, work, travel and more, your best bet is to purchase the whole system like we did. The price was alot cheaper, just do the math for yourself. Over all We got a great product, and was very pleased with the whole process.
