This's language-learning success.
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.

Customer rating is 3 of 5  Nice supplement, great listening comprehension   2010-08-25
By Taco
I'm about to finish up disc 3. Rosetta Stone makes a great SUPPLEMENT to learning Japanese, but you better hit the books beforehand. There is a lot of things they won't teach you that they want you to just 'get the feel for' (like particles, good luck). Hit the books beforehand to learn the grammar, after you finish a textbook, then hop onto Rosetta for listening comprehension. Their slow, clear speaking is AMAZING for listening comprehension. I don't think it can be substituted by anything else.

On the other hand, that's all it has going. Downright SKIP the pronunciation, the listening software sucks. You can say complete gibberish and it will pass you, or you can say it perfectly and it wont pass you. Their 'writing' area is horrible too. You basically type, with the latin alphabet, what they are saying. This will never teach you to write, at all. In fact, it will hold you back. Learn to write hiragana/katakana/kanji from something else. Skip the kanji/kana sections in rosetta and learn it somewhere else. During the actual program, you're best off with kanji + furigana (subtext for reading kanji). They have way too many kanji for you to know at the start, so you wont be able to read them, but after you learn hiragana and katakana, you can read the small-type and be good to go. Do NOT use the romaji (latin alphabet) it will hold you back and build terrible habits.

The main, number one most horribly problem with rosetta stone is it is FAR too polite. Polite speak isn't very common and you won't learn how to talk casually, yet that is all they drill into your head. You must learn to speak 'normally' somewhere else. Don't think "well, its okay to be polite!", no, it's not like that. If you are only used to polite language, you will become VERY lost upon hearing normal, casual conversation.

PS: When they introduce a word, check a dictionary to make sure you think it means what they think it means.

For 500 dollars, they could at least teach you a proper way to speak. Do NOT expect this to be your 1 'go to guide' for Japanese. This is merely a supplement.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A Good Way to Learn Japanese   2010-07-22
By Ronald Hammond (Key West, FL USA)
The Rosetta Stone method tries to emulate native speakers by plunging you right into the language, not quite total immersion, but perhaps the next best thing. It accomplishes this with pictures and phrases, without taxing you by making you memorize vocabulary and making you conjugate countless verbs. You sort of assimilate the language by association as you look at a photo, hear a phrase and try to figure it all out. Does that sound difficult? Believe it or not, it's not.

One nice thing about Rosetta Stone is that you can move at your own pace, without worrying about being left behind. However, you have to be careful not to go too long before going back to the program. Like a child learning how to talk, you have to keep at it, but if you do (you can skip a day here and there) you'll find you really do pick up on the language.

I've been using the Japanese course for six weeks now and I haven't missed a day, save for one very hectic Sunday. I had four semesters of Japanese in College, but that was a long time ago. However I do think my experience with it helped me a lot, especially as the grammar is so very different from English.

I am moving through the courses at a pretty good clip, but as I said, I've had prior experience with Japanese and I'm pretty dedicated when I set my mind to something. Learning a language is a good thing and with Rosetta Stone it's not nearly as difficult as you might think, in fact it's kind of fun.

I've been trying to learn Japanese for a while now, bending over backwards looking for new books and software because I simply could not afford a private tutor. Rosetta stone has an easy to use interface and colorful pictures. I already had a head start on some of it and the new stuff was so easy to absorb. I could easily point things out in real life in Japanese as I could with English. The click-match-listen-repeat gets repetitive, but that's what makes it stick into your head. Manual flash cards are a test of patience and don't have a native speaker read the words/sentences aloud. Everything is broken down to the smallest bits so you soak it up like a sponge. I recommend using this program in conjunction with the Genki textbooks and workbooks and devoting at least 45 minutes a day to study, and within a month everything will fall into place. I wish I had found this sooner because I've only been using it for a couple of weeks and I've made tremendous progress in speaking and vocabulary.

This was a repeat purchase. We had bought Rosetta Stone before. My son just needed the next set of lessons. Very good product-worth the price although I wish it was cheaper.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Difficult Language Needs Repetition   2010-05-28
By Grace M. Danziger (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Our family bought this because we're taking our first trip to Japan. I'm the only person among us who has some Japanese comprehension, but have never been able to speak it. We're still on Level One, and at first I thought it was being too repetitive. But checking in with my husband and son, for a language so foreign in sound and appearance, that repetition is welcomed. I think in my case because of the prior comprehension I'm zipping through One and should probably be tackling Level Two. It is definitely a fun and user-friendly way to learn a language. I don't know why at least one reviewer was complaining about the headset. For something that gets packaged in a box with software, it works exceedingly well. Certainly, if your goal is to study the Japanese language, as noted by some others, you will need additional materials for reading and writing practice. The Akiyama book on Japanese Grammar has been very helpful in learning the structure of the language. It also provides some real-world tips you don't get from Rosetta Stone, such as using a person's name whenever possible in referencing him or her. Since Rosetta Stone doesn't identify the photos by name, it teaches you a lot in the form of "he, she, him, her, they, their" which is not the best in everyday conversation, we understand. But all in all, Rosetta Stone is a useful way to gain instruction when one does not have time to enroll in classes. We wish it were slightly less strictly licensed so members of the family could also work on their laptops. We take turns at the one desktop in our household.
