How it works
The Rosetta Stone's Dynamic Immersion method works by simulating the natural language learning process we all experienced as children. No translation. No memorization. No drills or lists. With instruction exclusively in the target language, you start thinking in the new language from the very first lesson. The association of pictures, native speaker voices and texts allows you to master basic vocabulary quickly. And this in turn acts as a foundation on which to build words, phrases, sentences, and grammatical structures, still in the target language only.

Within each lesson, choose from a variety of different activities that concentrate on listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking or writing:

Dynamic Immersion teaches you to link speech directly with meaning. Match the spoken phrase and the image correctly and the meaning is clear. No translation or memorization. The words have meaning. The image has a name.

Reading comprehension parallels the comprehension of speech. The Rosetta Stone develops reading skills by presenting written text without spoken-language support. Match words to image and the computer verifies the meaning. Speaking a new language is the learner's most rewarding challenge.

Speech Recognition records your voice and plays it back for comparison with the voice of the native speaker. A graded meter quickly assesses your proficiency and a voiceprint analyzes your pronunciation in detail.

Dictation uses the computer to check your written work for accuracy. Click on the picture. Write what you hear. The program indicates errors and allows you to correct your work before you proceed.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable alternative, 14 May 2007
I am finding this course to be great fun, although some may find it repetetive. New phrases/words have to be learnt by trial and error and they are repeated often. You may even find you haven't learnt that much until you near the end of the course. However, as you near the end you will begin to realise just how much you know. I am half way through the 2nd course and am starting to find my feet.

One danger of the course is that you may get slightly the wrong end of the stick when guessing what something means, but hopefully you'll have a eureka moment later when it pops up in a different context. I often can't help looking up what something means, but you aren't actually encouraged to do that.

For those who may be interested there is a demo on the Rosetta stone website which allows you to try a variety of the lessons before shelling out your hard earned. Also, their website allows you to "buy" access to the courses online for much less than it costs to buy the CDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new way of language learning, 27 Sep 2005
By A Customer
Having tried to learn French at school and having attended evening classes last year, it was a real revelation to find an online course that allowed me to learn quickly and easily in my own time and at my own pace! The courses use pictures and images and use no translation really helped me pick up the language quickly; what's more it was interactive and fun! I would highly recommed Rosetta Stone to anyone who has a real desire to learn a second language - it is so simple and easy; I can't wait to get to the next level!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent language learning tool, 6 Nov 2006
By L. Jenneson (York, Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very effective way of learning; so simple even an idiot could learn, or apparently not in some case's! It may seem very expensive but be assured it is worth the money, i would recomend it as more of an aid to start learning french rather than advancing your french.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absurdly expensive.
These Rosetta Stone programs are about 4 times more expensive than other more effective options and offer no added value for the extra money. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible!
Can't learn, so boring I had to stop over 1 hour, tired of listening to the same 10 words over and over.
