Manufacturer's Description

Rosetta Stone Personal Edition contains everything you need to give the voice inside of you a new language. The method used recreates the natural way you learned your first language, revealing skills that you already have. This approach has won numerous awards, and has been adopted by countless organisations, schools and millions of users around the world. Join the language revolution today. Only with Rosetta Stone.

 

 

The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.

Learn Naturally

Learn your next language the same way you learned your first language. Dynamic Immersion® empowers you to see, hear and comprehend without translating or memorising. You already have this ability. Rosetta Stone simply unlocks it.

 

Engage Interactively

Get feedback to move forward. You learn best by doing, and you’ll apply what you’ve learned to get to the next step. Rosetta Stone adapts to your individual needs and skills, because you drive the program with your progress.

 

Speak Confidently

Start speaking immediately. From the very first lesson, you’ll speak. You’ll begin with essential basics, which form the building blocks of the language. Soon you’ll create new sentences on your own, using words you’ve learned.

 

Have Fun

Best of all, Rosetta Stone is addictive. With every entertaining activity, you’ll feel success. You’ll want to use Rosetta Stone to have that next moment, that next breakthrough. So you’ll keep using it, and you’ll learn more!

 

That’s language-learning success.

That’s Rosetta Stone.

 

 

No translation or memorisation required.

 

The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That’s the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this.

 

Think about all of the ways you’ve tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorisation.

 

Instead of taking a “direct flight” from your brain to your new language, translation and memorisation connects you to your old language. You always have to “fly” from your brain, to your native tongue … and then translate what you’ve memorised to communicate.

 

That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You’re going to make a lot of “connecting flights.” That’s why those other methods are so frustrating … and why they fail.

 

 

Enter Dynamic Immersion®.

This method encourages you to think like a baby. You’ll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you’ll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create.

 

Innovative technology.

Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you’re speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You’ll only move forward when you’re ready, when you’ve become comfortable and confident.

 

Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5:

Develop command of the language as you master conversational language skills across five levels. Gain the confidence to share your ideas and opinions. Develop conversational skills to plan adventures, care for your health and move abroad. Talk about government, work, movies and citizenship. Discuss family and traditions. And celebrate success.

 

Audio Companion

With Audio Companion, you’ll enhance the Rosetta Stone experience wherever you go. You’ll learn new skills on the computer, and then reinforce what you’ve learned with Audio Companion. Simply play the CDs on a stereo or download them to a MP3 Player. Each Audio Companion activity corresponds to a lesson in the Rosetta Stone software, so you can turn your travel time into productive language-learning time.

 

 

Inside the box, you’ll find:

 

·         Version 3 Personal Edition CD-ROM software for Level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Windows/Mac)

·         Headset microphone

·         User’s guide

·         Audio Companion, a multiple-CD set to play or download to your MP3 player

Caveat emptor 24 Nov 2010

I bought this product hoping to improve my French language skills. It is a programme for beginners and not people hoping to brush up their rusty O or A level French. Worse was to come. Only those products purchased from Rossetta Stone are covered by their guarantee of return if not satisfied; if purchased from elsewhere (ie Amazon) that guarantee does not hold. You are only entitled to the Amazon refund which is concerned with factors other than suitability of product (which you can't know unless you've given it a try) and the product must be in unopened condition unless it is faulty.

First of all, the software is very well thought. You don't get tired of it or bored.
It involves images, sounds, speaking and writen words. As a consequence, the software gives a reality to the word. When you are taught that the woman drinks : you see the picture where she does, you read "la femme boit" and you hear it too. You immediatly associate the word with the sound (which you don't get from a book) and the sound with the word (which you don't get from an audio software).

Does it work? The answer is YES.
My boyfriend didn't understand a single word of French.
Now, he understands 1/5 of the conversation. When my family talks, he doesn't make out most of it. But he still gets little bits.
At the end of the software. He will probably grasp much more.

So all I can say is that it works well for beginers. I was so impressed by his improvements that I bought the German Rosetta Stone.

I don't think any software can really teach you how to be completely fluent. If you already have a good level, what you need now is practice.
