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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely useless on it's own!, 3 May 2006
By Mr. G. Patterson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This course is completely useless as a standalone course. It is supposed to take you from beginner to intermediate level, but you will learn very little that you can use in the real world.

At the end of the course you will learn how to ask for directions, but nowhere in the course are you even taught how to say basic conversational words such as hello, goodbye, please, thankyou etc. For a course costing almost £130, that's pretty bad!

Even worse, almost all of the verbs taught in the course are in the present progressive tense - a tense that is almost never used in Spanish. Worse still, there are no present tense examples of any of these verbs, so you will not be able to use them in the real world!
