Best course available
I am totally happy with my Rosetta Stone courses. First I bought the Italian course, and in three months I was able to stay in Rome for three days without having to revert to English. Then I got the French course, and I have enjoyed working my way through it. The best thing about it is that the progress is slow and you really learn something. Compared to Hugo's courses (which are good as add-ons), you learn to speak the language. I recommend that you repeat each phrase three times, even if you are not required by the section of the course you're at to speak it out loud.

Highly recommended, but expensive. My Spanish course awaits me.

V Good
I am relatively new to learning languages, and remember how tedious it was learning in secondary school with the tens of books, dictionarys audio tapes and Cd's it just didn't stick.

All I can say is this method works for me association with images, spoken word and speech recognition, never thought it was possible to learn languages enjoyably and have conversations in a relatively short time as well as make it stick.

Got me talking, despite my previous disasters.
I found Rosetta Stone's method of teaching very engaging and think I made progress quickly. This was a relief because I had struggled learning French for what seemed liked forever, despite absolutely loving the country!

What I liked about Rosetta Stone was (1) the fact that it does not use translation at all. I just got what the words and the speech meant from connecting them to the pictures of what was going on. (2) I really enjoyed the speech recognition. It's wierd for me to get that a computer can actually "understand" what you're saying and grade what you say against a native speaker. I liked the feature where you could slow down the speech of a native speaker and match your pronunciation against a visual representation of what they said.

So it worked for me. I wasn't going to become an advanced speaker, but I felt I was able to get by and more than that too. I guess to really be an advanced speaker you have to be in country, but even though I would love that, I cannot afford a 12 month holiday in France.

Waste of money
This is a total rip-off. It teachs very little of the language and is not practical at all.

Avoid this product, it is a rip off!
If you are looking for something to help you learn a language, I strongly recommend you avoid Rosetta Stone. For a start, it's a rip off. I paid £130 for mine and it doesn't teach you much at all. Then, when I tried to sell it on ebay, Rosetta Stone complained to ebay and made them remove my listing. Why? It's not illegal to sell second hand products on ebay! They are only trying to stop people from selling their programme second hand because no one wants to pay so much for it! Avoid them! Its the biggest waste of money. It doesn't teach you anything useful, such as how to odrder food in a restaurant for example. It teaches you to say useless things, like "the horse runs." No grammar is taught. I wish I had never wasted my money on this!
