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.

 Definitely not worth the price + Scientifically flawed 2010-02-28 |
| By It's me (LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK USA) |
I was given this product by someone who bought it and couldn't stand it because they just weren't learning much so they gave it away. Unfortunately I also found it limiting so I decided to give it to my young cousin who's only 6 years old.
First off, the science behind Rosetta Stone is flawed. They work on the assumption that the reason why young children pick up on languages and retain them so much better than adult do is because they are taught differently than adults. Adults go to classes and learn grammer first etc...While children simply use the visual and audio ques around them and naturally absorb everything. However this is FALSE & it's been proven to be false yet the company still feeds this nonsense to it's customers.
Even children born blind who do not have the ability for visual ques such as the movement of the lips or seeing objects and facial expressions pick up & retain language at a far superior level than adults with all 5 senses do. The reason is that the Brain of a young child works differently than that of an adult. For the sake of not making this review too long, I'll merely state the facts simply & in laymen terms. When children learn 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 different languages growing up, the activity in the brain happens in one location- which is basically the main portion dedicated to language. However past a certain age (anywhere between the ages 11-19 depending on the harmonal development of the individual) that portion of the brain "freezes" or rather it stops being maleable. Kind of like the way a baby's skull is soft and eventually as it grows, hardens. So basically when a child of say 5 years old begins learning a new language the still maleable portion of the brain receptive to that grows in strength & activity- It's much like a muscle..when it's worked it grows stronger & becomes more useful. However when an ADULT learns a new language that part of the brain is done making changes, so the adult brain compensates for this by strengthening ANOTHER portion of the brain related to the main language portion to compensate. THis is great- except this extra part of the brain is not as efficient at language as the first main portion which developed during our early years. One of the major drawbacks of this new language section is that unlike the first one it atrophies very quickly. Like a muscle, if you don't use it constantly- you'll lose it. The first/main language section of the adult is more like bone- it's set for life so you don't have to worry about losing it if you don't work it daily. That's why a bilingual Spanish & English person who learned these languages while little can live in India for 20 years and then go back to Spain or England and suddenly start speaking those languages again. Unlike someone who learns a language as an adult- if they stop speaking or using the new language for as little as 2 or 3 years, they have to relearn almost everything again because they forget a great deal of what was learned.- Basically the extra muscle (language portion neurons) they developed atrophied. Children learning language use One part of the brain- Adults using language use TWO.- one set like bone and one like muscle that grows & shrinks depending on usage. So you see that the entire case behind Rosetta Stone is faulty. An adult can absolutely learn languages, but they CANNOT learn using the same method as children. Adults must be taught differently then children as our brains work very differently. You can't just show a bunch of pictures to an adult and have them pick up on nuances & context. Someone who's learned as an adult also must continue practicing- Even if it's only for a 10 minutes every 2 or 3 days so that they don't forget how to speak it. One program I recommend that realizes this is FLUENZ which is not only cheaper than Rosetta, but has a much higher satisfactory rate and it's the one I'm using now. Unfortunately their language choices are limited as I believe they only have 4 to choose from. I did give this program to my young cousin to see if their method would work better on her. It has! However she'll only do this program if her mother makes her. She says it's "boring". However there's no doubt that she learned more with this program in a few days than I did in 3 weeks. It's still up in the air whether I'd recommend this for kids, but for adults?- absolutely not. |
 Rosetta Stone Levels 1,2,3 Italian is the most fun way to learn 2010-02-03 |
| By C. A. Stanton Hochstetler (Goshen, IN USA) |
| Lets face it, not all of us are scholars, readers, students. Some of us are visually oriented. We prefer color and vivid images to rote and other mundane methods of learning. This method is something easy to understand, multi-choice responses, which immerse you in the language, some of the learning is intuitive, and some of the interactive steps actually measure and encourage you with every screen. The framework is well communicated in each screen. And although the aspects of vocabulary, pronunciation, comprehension, reading and writing are all areas which teach the language. One feels the progress and the process goes smoothly from one lesson to the next. You decide whether you want to repeat a lesson, or move to the next. Rosetta Stone is the best way to learn a language. Governments train staff using this program as well. But for me, I just find it fun and easy to learn with this method. In my case, I am going to Italy in six months or so, I really plan to be able to read and write and best of all speak Italian when we are there. Years ago, Berlitz was the standard, today, its Rosetta Stone. Next year, France is our goal, I've alredy purchased Levels 1,2,3 in French to prepare for that adventure. You do not need to be a scholar, simply follow the lessons, and you'll be speaking and reading and writing in the language of your choice. I highly recommend this method above others. |
| Just getting started, but easy to use. 2010-01-28 |
| By Thomas G. Curro (Atlantic Highlands, NJ) |
| Although I am just getting started with the product, it loaded easily onto my MacBook, and is easy to use. After reading some reviews, I was concerned about computer compatibility, but I have found none of the problems that others had loading. The product is easy to use, just point and click, talk, or enter letters on the keyboard. The only glitch I have found is that the shift key on my Mac does not function to shift the case of the letters. You have to use the mouse to click on the shift key on the screen. Other than that bit of annoyance, it works great. As someone who has learned a language the old fashioned way, word translation, I am sometimes left up in the air about the meaning of an article or pronoun. Was that a he, she, them, they, it, this, or that. I'm sure as I delve more into the program, this will become less of a concern. In any event, so far, I am happy with the product and the progress one makes learning a new language. |
| It will work but takes time and dedication 2010-01-28 |
| By M. Leingang |
Alright so you probably will not wirting in Italian like a pro; however, you will be able speak and understand Italian. No you will no the grammar rules but many people do not even know the grammr rules of their native language.
If you do not have at least 4 to 5 hours a week to commit to the Rosseta learning process, then I do not recommend you purchasing it because the cost is high to justify the lack of commitment. In addition, you need to isolate yourself from distractions. Besides your kids will laugh at you as you try to repeat the words at the computer.
You are presented with images and audio. The software also has you try to say the word and does not move on until you same it somewhat close. You start out with words, then move on phrases and finally to sentences. You can move on to the next lesson at your pace and each builds upon the previous lesson.
Yes I would recommend the software. Ideally I believe you would be better off taking a class at a local college so you can work with others also trying to learn the language. |
| Great Way to Learn a Language Without Rote 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. |
