    5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, simple, effective... but a bit expensive., 14 Aug 2008
    Ok, so first of all there are a lot of bad reviews about this product, which i was weary of before buying. i read one which said that it teaches you like a child and adults need to read books to learn a language. Whilst i agree that the techniques are very simple, i completely disagree that a book would serve you better.

    Rosetta Stone concentrates on teaching you a language (pronunciation and spelling included), not specific phrases you may need for a holiday. The whole process is quite repetitive and sometimes slow (it can feel like you're going over the same thing again and again, then you realise how easily you've learnt it), but the point is, it's not quick learning an entire language. It features images, speech recognition and typing tests so you can learn (as a child would) to speak fluently. Some may find it tedious, but it really drums it into you. Picking up the new words and phrases is fast and actually interesting. It managed to keep my attention longer than my French phrase book.

    I really liked that you can identify the picture that goes with the phrase, then it turns it round so you choose the phrase that goes with the image. I've used some other software that only did the former, and found it was too easy to 'cheat'. By reversing it, it really gets you thinking.

    Another thing I liked is that there is no English translation. Instead you work it out from the picture. Like I said, it's easy to pick up and I enjoyed not feeling like I was reading a vocab book.

    After the first day I noticed a VAST improvement. I took French for 5 years in school, yet didn't manage to pick a lot up in the long term. After using it for about half an hour a day, for 2 weeks, I can now string sentences together and my vocabulary is better than ever.

    It's quite expensive, but if you want to learn a new language, and are willing to put in the time, then this is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Got me talking, despite my previous disasters., 11 Jun 2008
    I found Rosetta Stone's method of teaching very engaging and think I made progress quickly. This was a relief because I had struggled learning French for what seemed liked forever, despite absolutely loving the country!

    What I liked about Rosetta Stone was (1) the fact that it does not use translation at all. I just got what the words and the speech meant from connecting them to the pictures of what was going on. (2) I really enjoyed the speech recognition. It's wierd for me to get that a computer can actually "understand" what you're saying and grade what you say against a native speaker. I liked the feature where you could slow down the speech of a native speaker and match your pronunciation against a visual representation of what they said.

    So it worked for me. I wasn't going to become an advanced speaker, but I felt I was able to get by and more than that too. I guess to really be an advanced speaker you have to be in country, but even though I would love that, I cannot afford a 12 month holiday in France.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best course available, 12 Jul 2008
    By Petter Amundsen - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I am totally happy with my Rosetta Stone courses. First I bought the Italian course, and in three months I was able to stay in Rome for three days without having to revert to English. Then I got the French course, and I have enjoyed working my way through it. The best thing about it is that the progress is slow and you really learn something. Compared to Hugo's courses (which are good as add-ons), you learn to speak the language. I recommend that you repeat each phrase three times, even if you are not required by the section of the course you're at to speak it out loud.

    Highly recommended, but expensive. My Spanish course awaits me.

    This is a total rip-off. It teachs very little of the language and is not practical at all.
