Amazon.com Product Description
Why is Rosetta Stone the world's No. 1 language-learning software? Because it works.

Escape the endless tedium of translation, memorization, and grammar drills. Get the language you want, the skills you need and the success you deserve by learning a new language naturally--the same way you learned your first language.



The complete immersion environment puts your native language-learning skills to work, eliminating your dependence on tedious translation and rote memorization.

Images Intuition

In Rosetta Stone you learn the meaning of new language from clear, real-life images.


In this activity you learn colors.

You advance using language you've learned and clues from new images. That's your intuition at work.


Now that you know colors, you can easily grasp the meaning of the new words...

Interactivity Instruction

Throughout Rosetta Stone, you constantly interact with the program to confirm your intuition.


...and then check what you've learned.

From beginning to end you build systematically toward your language-learning goals, for the most effective and enjoyable instruction anywhere.


And finally, you get the fun of trying your new language in a real-life simulation. Speech recognition shows you exactly how you're doing.

You learned your first language without translation.
You learned your first language easily and naturally by connecting words to objects and events around you. With Rosetta Stone, learn a new language the same way: using native speakers and thousands of real-life images to help you think in the new language from the very beginning. Studies show that learning exclusively in the new language, without translation as a crutch, is crucial.

The exclusive Dynamic Immersion method reinforces your natural language-learning skills with award-winning instructional technology. Identify your learning goals, then choose customized courses that take you there.

The timeless immersion method, along with research-based techniques and new technologies, make Rosetta Stone the clear solution to your language-learning needs.

I'm a beginner-beginner and had never studied Spanish until this May when I started the Rosetta Stone Spanish Latin America level I. So far, I'm very satisfied with my progress. I've only covered 9 lessons (Lesson 1.1-3.2--still Level I), but I know how to count 1-20, identify colors (many), say greetings, ask basic questions (what is...? When...? Where...? What color...? Who is...? etc.), structure present-progressive sentences and many more.

The only drawback is that "writing" portion is very short and you may not be able to spell well. But you can download "course content" online and practice writing. (Go to the Rosetta Stone website. You should be able to find "download course content.")

For those people who have never learned ANY foreign language, it may be a daunting task to learn without a textbook. But you can use the "Course Content" and check vocabulary before starting a lesson. Yes, if you want to be fluent, you need to do some "extra" works. (which means that you need a good Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary in addition to the Rosetta Stone. Yep, learning is not cheap!)

Lastly, you cannot just sit and expect that the Rosetta stone will make you a fluent Spanish speaker. You have to work hard. Persistence and determination are two important things in learning. Good luck!

Awesome product. It is complete immersion thus making the learning process fun and difficult at the same time. I have learned a significant amount of spanish already and I am only halfway done with the first cd. I would definitely recommend this product.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to use and learn   July 21, 2008

I am not a computer person, yet I was able to install this program and begin using it right away. I purchased it for my almost 8 year old to use. I did the first lesson myself so that I could explain it to my daughter. It was easy to do and just as easy to understand what to do. This program of learning spanish uses total submersion. There is NO ENGLISH at all in the parts that we have done so far, with the exception of chosing the level where you need to work and getting your grade about how you did. If my duaghter doesn't score high enough to show understanding, then I know it because of her score given at the end of each lesson. I can then have her repeat it until she understands. My seven year old daughter is able to do it and enjoys it.

I bought Rosetta Stone Japanese and Spanish (Latin America) in the last couple of years. I found them (particularly Japanese) a bit difficult. Last week in an airport, a Rosetta representative said I needed the new version - it is very much better. I called Rosetta Stone and they offered me a price of $399, $100 off of $499. This is a pretty harsh upgrade route and left me disappointed. I am not the US Government or an institution, just an individual trying to better myself and this is way too expensive. I can return original disks for the upgrade. They have not quite worn out. Perhaps an updgrade with a media fee of say $25 would be fair. Their policy is not a fair policy and I cannot recommend anyone do business with Rosetta Stone.
