Really don't get unless you have prior knowledge., 2007-07-27
So I have access to this product (or either most of the main features of this product) because this is provided free to DoD personnel and their dependents. While I've been using this as mainly a refresher it really isnt good for anyone who has no knowledge of it so far it seems to just thrust you with pictures and a rehashed sentence over and over...is this their method? Not once heretofore have I seen any explanation on grammar and such. By lesson 2 they were using conjugated verbs! If you have already studied this then you know that that's not something you just thrust at someone especially... Though I will say that this program has by far the best audio quality for listening to pronounciations.

 Disappointed!, 2007-07-02
I was very disappointed by this software! I can see this product working well if you have basic knowledge of the language your trying to learn more. I purchased Lesson one Tagalog and I was lost... It shows you pictures of things and shows you the words for them but not an actual translation in english. In one example it shows a wood block with a blue number 6 in it then the software types and reads the words in tagalog over the picture...at this point I had no idea if the word meant wood block, blue or six because it doesn't show translations in english!
This is not the first choice for learning a language if you do not have a basic understanding of it first.

 Seems to be pretty good, 2007-02-26
Bought this as a present for my wife. She really likes it. I have tried a couple of units and not only found them enjoyable, but even learned a few words. Having tried a couple of other CDROM courses for French and Spanish, I had a rather low opinion of CD courses, but I am quite impressed with the method Rosetta uses to not only get you to remember a word but think about the word and how it is use in a sentence. We are already planning to purchase the Spanish course.
Enjoy
Buyer beware, 2006-11-30
Real seat of your pants flying on a foggy night experience without instruments. Rosetta Stone is NOT the way to go to acquire another language unless you have someone familiar with the language guide you. Having had experience using software that works from basic to intermediate levels, this one is the pits by comparison. Better have the ability to decide whether you will be happy with the program while just looking at the box, because once you open it, you're stuck with it. Makes for pretty expensive garbage....
