rosetta stone

great easy to use - the only issue is the headset/microphone was broken - sent request for new one did not get reply

Love it.

I had tried it out at a friends house and liked the way it worked out. Have been using it for a while. Is nice. I have learned some. Still have a long way to go but it is teaching me. Companion cd is nice to hear the words later too. USB microphone works good.

A different way to learn a language

I purchased spanish(castilian, spain) about a year ago, though this isn't Latin American spainish, I would imagine that this is still very similar.

This is definitely a different, new way to learn a language. It breaks away from the usual workbooks, flashcards and cd's/tapes. What is good about RS is that it makes learning more fun and less tedious. I actually look forward to putting on my headset and learning new material. I think that is the strongest point about RS, it doesn't bore you. And if you want to learn a language, you must be persistent and motivated. It's very hard to be like that through workbooks, classes, etc.

I'm on level 3 now and I have learned a lot. RS is most practical through conversational spanish, however you will not learn all the grammar rules through RS alone. RS doesn't explain the grammatical rules, you must learn it on your own. Without an explanation, its near impossible to learn ALL the rules. That is it's downfall, you cannot become fluent, but you can develop pretty good knowledge of it. To be fluent, you need to buy seperate workbooks that explain all the congugations and other grammar rules.

So if you want to learn spanish as quickly as possible, with decent language grammar, and have more of a "fun" experience with it then RS is a good choice. However, if you want to become fluent (or at least very solid grammar) then you must get extra workbooks, material that explains the grammar rules completely. With the combination of both, you are one an excellent path to learning spanish quickly and effectively.
