The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn a New Language

Proceed at Your Own Pace
Rosetta Stone is considerate of your time. Anytime, anywhere, you can learn a new language with Rosetta Stone. You learn comfortably without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. Rosetta Stone provides guidance to make your language learning effective, fast, and enjoyable with a process that is intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging. At the end of each lesson, you are given the opportunity to test your new skills. And, since Rosetta Stone automatically records your progress, you can easily pick up where you left off, when other priorities arise.

Make Language Learning Intuitive with Dynamic Immersion
Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help you learn. You will be presented with sets of images to match correctly with a spoken or written phrase in the new language. You will advance to the next set of prompts once you've successfully matched words and images and pronounced the words correctly. With Dynamic Immersion, you learn by directly associating your new language with images--nothing is lost in translation.

Fun, Easy, and Immediate Reinforcement
Interactive exercises create a learning environment that is engaging and game-like--it's fun!

How It Works As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity.

Rosetta Stone recreated this natural way of learning by developing a method that uses a computer to mimic the environment in which we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion. A simple, intuitive interface and advanced technology confirms learning at every step of the process by prompting you to make connections between images you already understand and the new language. You receive immediate feedback, which helps you to reinforce learning. This systematic structure builds from simple nouns and verbs to more complex concepts and phrases very quickly, helping you achieve your language-learning goals faster than you ever thought possible.

Level 1, 2 & 3--Connect With the World Connect with the world around you. Build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. Quickly gain the confidence to enjoy social interactions such as greetings and introductions, travel, dining out, giving and getting directions, shopping and other recreational activities. Learn to share your ideas and opinions, express your feelings and talk about everyday life, your work, your interests, current events, and much more.

I love this program - Husband learned in 10 minutes

I purchased Rosetta Stone @ the website. The 6 month online subscription. I did so because I didn't want the CD's just lying around the house. If I only have 6 months - I better get at it.
I am a teacher myself and from that perspective, I absolutely love it. It's fun, and the teach style makes "sense".
Now, I have taken Spanish 101 and listened to a Berlitz Rush Hour Spanish so I didn't know if that helped or hindered in my progress.
So I gave it to my hubby who has only "Sesame Street" Spanish - if you get my drift. He was able to pick up at least 20 sentences - speak, listen and respond within 10 minutes. A few days later I quizzed him and he still remembered.He could care less about learning Spanish. He was just being my guinea pig.
So I know that it does work. It may not be everything you need to really know the language but it's an interesting twist from the boring repetitive classes at schools.

Well worth the money

I have now had the Spanish program for a few months now and I must say that my Spanish has improved. The lessons are put together well and they seemed to walk me through nicely. I did not feel the pressure of trying to learn Spanish as if I was in a classroom. Being able to set my own pace was nice. To be fair, I had taken 4 years of Spanish 20+ years ago in high school. So much of that knowledge came back to me as I was going through these lesson.

I would definitely reccomend this program to anyone who wants to put the time in to learn Spanish well. This is not a quick solution, but if you are patient and stick with the program it will pay off immensely.

Rosetta Stone Version 3: Spanish (Latin America) Level 1, 2 & 3 Set with Audio Companion

I have tried the Rosetta Stone now for over a month. I do know a few phrases. It is easy to follow. Little disappointed in the program not sharing the english version of anything said. Also, the headset that comes with the product either works too well or not well enough. The voice recognition part of it I feel doesn't work as well as it should.

I feel this product does however do what it seeks to do: immerse you in the language to learn it. This is ok for speaking, not writing. Its hard to learn placement and spelling of verbs, adjectives, and nouns without an explaination.

The audio companion is not worth $50, so if you can find it cheaper- do so!

Makes learning (or relearning) a new language entertaining, challenging, and fun.

I'm using the Rosetta Stone Spanish version to help my poor Spanish speaking skills. I'm an American-born Hispanic, grew up in a bilingual household and bilingual schools early in my life, but speaking Spanish for me has always been a stumbling block I struggled with. As a young kid, when I tried to speak Spanish, I got laughed at by other kids...so I stopped doing it.

Rosetta Stone Spanish is helping me get past my fears by practicing and speaking Spanish in the privacy of my home. I can speak, review, re-review, and have fun without the pressures of "perfect performance" or getting laughed at. (But I'll laugh at myself.) While a lot of it is very familiar with me, especially in the early stages of the lessons which flew by quickly, it's nice to ease in and work my way upwards.

A part of me is disappointed that I didn't pick a different language like French or Japanese, even though I really need to practice my Spanish. Seeing how Rosetta Stone up their simple yet creative lesson plans, I really wished I was learning a new language from scratch. Really!

The Rosetta Stone kit includes the lesson plan software, audio CD for practice, and a set of USB headphones with a built-in boom mic. The headphone are nicely built and wear comfortably. (But, like most headphones, your ears do get tired and sweaty after prolonged use.) There's also a set of decals to use on your keyboard, if you wish. The decals are helpful but not required to use on your keyboard. Most often, the program will show a virtual keyboard on the screen to help you find the keys you need.

It supports multiple users, so my whole family can take of this program and tailor the lessons to our specific needs. The lessons plans slowly increase in difficulty making it easier to keep pace, especially in a total immersion environment. This is great for me because since I started doing Rosetta's program, my kindergartner now wants to learn Spanish too. I was able to setup a lesson plan for my young son and set his levels to "Easy" to accommodate his young speaking voice and learning skills. So far, so good. And he has fun doing it.

The program appears to be quite lengthy, so if you're thinking you can learn a whole new language in a week, think again. Each lesson session can take anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes to complete. There are plenty lessons for each level you accomplish, then you keep going up from there. Rosetta Stone is not a crash course in language learning; it more like a computerized school course with several grade levels you do at home.

Rosetta Stone has been far more practical to use on a laptop where I can move it to a quiet private place in my home to practice. Having a quiet place is crucial. The voice recognition program easily picks up background voices (TV, radio, family, etc.) easily and frustrates your efforts. It's happened to me on several occasions. And since lessons include speaking out loud back to the computer from time to time, you may not want to be close to anyone preoccupied with TV/phone/etc. or do this in a public place where they will look at you funny. (Anyone who plays with Brain Age or similar on Nintendo's DS Lite can relate.)

I have not finished the complete program yet, but have valued what Rosetta's program has offered so far for me and my family. I'm getting more confident with my Spanish speaking abilities which is priceless for me. My son is learning a new language at his pace. My husband is gleaning off of my abilities to help him in bilingual situations. It's been a win-win situation so far.

If it weren't so pricey, I'd gladly buy more languages to have fun with. But if a situation ever arises that requires that I learn a new language, I will seriously look Rosetta's programs to fill that need.

Helps you learn some, but not a ton.

I plan on getting hired by the Border Patrol, so I figured I'd get a head start on learning Spanish now, since it's required to speak Spanish fluently to graduate their academy. I got the program, and breezed right through the various levels. By the end of it, I don't feel very confident in speaking or listening to the language. To start with, the program speaks at about 1/10 of the actual speed a person would talk it. I think you'd have to combine this with some more learning to because fluent in Spanish. I'll still end up taking Spanish classes at academy... they'll be far easier since I took this, but I'm still far from being fluent.
