Amazon.com Product Description
Learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before. We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase. Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated systematically, leading to everyday proficiency. The Rosetta Stone Level I program offers a comprehensive course of study for beginning learners, leading to intermediate proficiency. The program contains over 3,500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons and more than 250 hours of mastery instruction in listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. There are reviews, exercises, and tests for every lesson with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)

Not as easy as I thought! August 31, 2007
D. Brownstein (USA)
This system teaches very differently from how I learned Spanish in school. No grammer or sentence scructure in the beginning,(just nouns)and that is how far I am right now. You really have to listen hard to what the voice is saying, then select the right picture. You must practice every day. Hopefully it will click!
 This is a very good product July 18, 2007

This item has already gotten me speaking and reading a goodly amount of Russian and quite fast. I highly recommend this product for anyone wanting to learn Russian quickly.
Is Rosetta Stone useful? January 10, 2007

I bought the program in late November 2006. The program is set up well and the translations and dialect used is accurate. I have the one set in Russian and my Russian friend said that it was a good program to use. Before taking the program I took a free one online at [...] This site helps you learn all the basic words when interacting with someone. I found it quite helpful when using Rosetta Stone afterwards. If you purchase this product you will have to get a very good Russian/English dictonary. Once you get into chapter 2 the pictures and phrases won't make sense without a dictonary. Unfortunately the best dictonary to get is the one Oxford makes; I say unfortunately because it costs around $40. Also, if you are really interested in learning Russian you want to get a book called "RUSSIAN COURSE a complete course for beginners." This book explains plurals, nouns, and how to know when something is feminine, masculine, or an it. This book costs around $10 dollars. Rosetta Stone is good at getting you to memorize words without repetition. I thought that that wouldn't work but it works and better then I thought. Rosetta Stone doesn't explain how to tell if something if masucline or feminine. It only has one lesson covering plural words but doesn't explain how they should be pronounced for a variety of words. If you purchase the book, dictonary, and program you will truly master this language. The more I understand it; the more beautiful it is.
Early experience with the Russian version June 30, 2006

I've been in Russia for two weeks and I've had three sessions with Rosetta Stone. I'm a very poor language student, and Russian is not coming easily to me. However the repetitious (but not boring) nature of the program has you moving through the exercises at a fairly fast pace using generic photos and a comination of the spoken word and Cyrillic text. It's too early to tell if I'll soon be able to converse with a Russian beyond the most basic words and phrases, but I'm going to press on.
There is a feature that I can't use yet because I don't have a microphone. It allows you to record your own speech and compare it to a native Russian's. I'm going to try to buy one.
I have one problem.....in the typing exercise, there is an on-screen Cyrillic keyboard, and you have to click on each letter with the mouse in order to enter Russian words on-screen. Unfortunately, all I get is English......no Cyrillic. I've contacted Fairfield Language Technologies, and they haven't encountered this problem before. They think there is a problem with my computer. I've toggled Windows between English and Russian, and both give me English.
If it's possible, I'd be happy to write another review when I've completed the program. I'll be here for another two months, so I'll have plenty of time.
Great to lhelp you learn. March 3, 2006

I have learned Spanish the traditional classroom method and feel this is a better way of learning if you can be disiplined enough to practice 30min to an hour a day.
