Product Description

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 organizations, 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 memorizing. 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 memorization 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 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 translate what you’ve memorized 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good language learning tool. Terrible software!! 11 Oct 2009
By Arcwin
The immersion principle used by Rosetta Stone for learning languages is highly effective and I have found it to be the most fun way of learning a new language. However the software is very badly written and tends to hang every few minutes even when there is loads of memory available on your PC. This is extremely frustrating and even after downloading an update, it is still pretty awful. When it works, it's brilliant, but they really need to improve the software. Even if you close down the program, it often leaves a component running which means you need to kill the extra process manually before you can restart it. Also sometimes the voice recognition does not pick up your speech very well and you almost have to shout out a response before it is picked up by the system. However this does not occur too often, so the major irritation with this product is the apalling software which causes you to constantly have to restart the program. Other than that, I would have given it 5 stars! A word of caution though, even though the teaching method works well and can be quite addictive in a positive way, I have personally found that first using the Michel Thomas Basic and Advanced Spanish course before going on to Rosetta Stone has proved to be a big advantage as the Michel Thomas course gives you a solid grounding in present, past and future tenses. You might otherwise find it harder to remember and construct sentences if you plunge straight into Rosetta Stone. However some may find that just plunging straight into Rosetta Stone works well for them. My suggestion would be to use Michel Thomas first and then advance to Rosetta Stone for a richer experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, buy it ! 28 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I can't recommend this software highly enough. My PC isn't highly specced, but I have absolutely no problems with hanging or anything similar mentioned in one of the other reviews here - it just works.

Using the software, you don't feel like you're being given a "lesson" as such, like learning a language at school. It feels like more of an interactive game, but you pick things up quickly as it goes along, because it's so well-designed. I have a Latin American friend who is well-placed to be able to tell how well I am learning !

It feels very natural and easy to use. And enjoyable too. After you do one of the main lessons and learn some new words, there are other follow-up exercises which help reinforce them and help you to remember.

Go for it !

4.0 out of 5 stars Rosetta Stone, Spanish )Latin America) 30 May 2010
I only purchased this product about 3 weeks ago but have already found it far better than any other method I've tried to learn a new language. The immersion technique is fantastic and really gets the learning process off to a running start. It was also very easy to install.

I can't speak for the whole product yet but as for the first few weeks all I can say is that it is brilliant. BUT IT!
