This's Rosetta Stone. No translation or memorization necessary. The much efficient way to study a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words together with pictures. This's the ultimate language lab, but much language-learning programs fully ignore this. Believe concerning all of the ways you've tried to study a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software this 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 interpret what you've memorized to communicate. This might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to modify tenses? You're going to do a lot of "connecting flights." This's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail. Enter Dynamic Immersion.
This method encourages you to believe like a baby. You'll pair words together with vivid, real-life pictures and do connections between things you recognize and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words mutually into phrases this you make. Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software this works together with you to develop your skills. The neat, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the answer, while complex speech recognition technology makes certain this you're speaking correctly and accurately. Excellent of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident.

 Something is not quite right.... 2010-02-08 |
| By P. Veru (Woodstock, NY USA) |
I am writing this review on Amazon because Rosetta Stone only publishes a limited number of negative reviews on their own website. Those negative reviews focus mostly on the voice recognition technology. The other reviews are so ridiculously glowing that it is embarrassing. In addition, all of these reviews span every age group. Teenagers, grandmothers and everyone in between apparently don't have enough thumbs to give the program the appropriate amount of thumbs up. One guy actually included the small (tm) when he was referencing the Adaptive Recall part of the program. The picture is too perfect and some of these reviews look like plants.
The most effective aspect of Rosetta Stone is their marketing campaign. I asked for the first three levels of French so that I could learn another language for the PHD program I'm entering next year. After finishing level one I can honestly say that I am no closer to being able to speak French than I was before. I know a ton of vocabulary words but I have no idea about grammar. RS doesn't teach any of the rules. With those rules comes confidence which is critical to speaking any language. They basically want you to learn French through laborious trial and error which is worse than the dreaded memorization that they crow about sparing you. After the level 1, I took their equivalent of the final exam and got a 65% on it. Had their not been a bunch of "bonjour"s and "merci"s on it, that number would have been in the 40s. Before that, I had gotten 90-95% on all of their other exercises.
The voice recognition system needs much work. You can mumble something with a French accent and get full credit or you can say it exactly right and not get any credit at all.
If they are to inspire confidence, they need to include the translation. Of course, this would mean that they can't sell the same program to a guy in America that they can sell to a guy in China. I see therefore why they are so resistant to doing it. I have to type what is on my screen into my computers translator and it is quite time consuming.
This program is for someone who has been given the rules for basic grammar in French or you are heading for a very frustrating experience. |
 Learning French through rote memorization 2010-01-30 |
| By Michael Hopper (Canada) |
This was my first venture, working with Rozetta Stone products. The product works from the perspective of exposing the student to the common words every student or child learns with a new language, such as numbers, colours, common verbs and nouns. As you learn, the intermediate level begins to diversify on the quantity of verbs as well as conjugation. Different tenses (past and future) come later. As Rosetta espouses, learning is natural as the student's mind correlates actions with objects, the same way young children learn. Verb tense and adjectives are reinforced through iterative learning.
What purchasers of this product must recognize is that no tool is all inclusive to raise a student to a university level education, vis-a-vis the actual language being learned. The product has its limitations in terms of a vast vocublary. I highly recommend it as a learning supplement which accelerates learning for early stages. Students should set expectations that they will need to read additional material in this language (or any language) to expand their vocublary. |
| Excellent Language Software - Superior to Memorization 2010-01-16 |
| By diljs |
I tried this software out in several languages, and found the learning process to be very easy and intuitive. I'd recommend it for learning a language, although it will never compare to living in a foreign country and speaking only that language.
Pros:
Rosetta stone's process is a lot better than traditional "current language word = foreign language word" learning processes, which rely on memorization and lead to internal translation from the foreign language to one's native language while speaking. Rosetta stone converts foreign words straight to pictures and ideas, eliminating internal translation to one's native language. There is plenty of repetition of previous words, but at no point does the process seem like rote recitation.
The software is divided into "lessons" which introduce new words, and have several exercises including matching, pronouncing each part of the word, verbally filling in blanks with your new words, etc. There is plenty to keep you interested and ensure that you learn new words and phrases.
The voice recognition was decent, a simple training has the program hearing you correctly ~90% of the time, and an adjustable slider can reduce the pickiness the software has if you're having issues, although that also controls how strictly you want to be held to pronunciation.
Cons of Rosetta Stone:
-It's expensive
-The approach in rosetta stone does not use conjugations or grammar rules, you just learn words and phrases. Some maybe bothered by this.
-Many other reviews note technical problems, I had no issues on my PC running windows XP. |
 Fantastic product ... but some fatal problems 2009-12-22 |
| By Mad Max (Seattle, WA USA) |
First I'd like to say this is a great product. Many reviewers say it's the best language program currently available - that might be true (I've only tried 3 or 4 programs). I agree with just about every positive thing said about the Rosetta Stone in the customer reviews.
That being said, I would never order it again. First, the price is just too high. My $10 "Instant Immersion" CD box set is definitely not as good as Rosetta Stone... but is it work $400 more?? I definitely don't think so.
The Instant Immersion is good enough, especially when paired with other resources, such as a pocket dictionary, &/or the Pimsleur system (which is also inexpensive, and very efficient). Many people tell me that Fluenz is very good as well. So for me, Rosetta Stone loses one star for price.
Second (the much bigger issue), the licensing issues are a deal breaker for me. I will never again order any Rosetta Stone product.
You can only load the program twice ... the intent (I believe) is to have a copy at home and at work. But if the first install is bad, or if your computer crashes, that's it! You have to buy another copy. I replace my computers (or hard drives) every 2 years on average. This severely limits my use of this product. This is pure greed on the part of Rosetta Stone, and unforgivable in my opinion. If I have a serial number, I should be able to have unrestricted personal use of the product.
Also, you can never, ever transfer ownership or sell it. Again, an unforgivable offense in my opinion. If you fork out $400-500 for this software, and end up not liking the full immersion style, then your stuck with it. (And hey, let's face it - all of our brains aren't wired the same.) This really, REALLY bothers me to think that this company doesn't mind ripping people off just because you learn differently. I love this learning style...but again, some people learn differently.
Finally, you have to have the original CD in place to use it - which means, you CAN'T use it at work & home unless you carry the darn disc around. For travel I use a portable netbook, which doesn't have a CD drive, so I absolutely can't travel with it. So the product loses another star for stupid licensing & other user restrictions.
So simply based on the merits of the product, I give it 5 stars. But based on licensing issues, greed, and limited user rights, I give is 0 stars. So if the price (& risks associated with product) don't bother you, by all means, get it & enjoy it. But if any of the problems I've mentioned give you pause, try one or more of the alternatives I mentioned.
!Bonne chance à vous! |
 Great poduct - Terrible Customer Service and Licensing Issues 2009-12-12 |
| By Joseph Simon Hancock (Sarasota, FL) |
This product is wonderful for learning a language. Very intuitive and I have not seen many things that are comparible.
BUT -be warned. You can only install and activate it on two machines, okay thats fair right? BUT!!! If one of your machines crashes and you dont deactivate your activation on that machine, be prepared for the Spanish Inquisition. If you so much as bought this from someone who already activated it you can forget it. These people are RUDE and insensitive.
The software is not smart like Adobe products or Windows prodcuts. If you re-install and active one of these vendors products on the same machine, they KNOW ITS THE SAME MACHINE! Rosetta Stone, although smart enough to teach you a language, is not smart enough to remember where you are learning it.
I suggest deactivating your copy every time you are finished using it on any machine. Thats the only way you can avoid dealing with these MEAN people. |
