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.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Excellent Product
I highly recommend this software to anyonewho wants to learn another language fast! I was able to hold a simple conversation in Portugeuse in under 6 months without studying every day. I use it only once a week now just to keep it fresh in my mind.
Using this program, to me, was more effective than having a teacher.

Rating:

- I like it
I have not used other products like this so I have no way to compare it to similar products. However, and I very impressed with how easy it is to use, and the quality of the instruction. One of the best features is if you don't understand something you can go back and review it. New information comes out you so fast sometimes I had to go back and review some things a few time to understand the correct meaning and the word usage. But the program allows for that. I recommend this product.

- Rosetta Stone
Excellent product, working with it is addictive and fun. Cost is too high for only two licenses.

Rating:

- Licensing
Version 3 of Rosetta Stone allows for installation on two computers, unlike the previous version which require the CD-ROM to be inserted for use. That said, from a licensing standpoint I believe it is still only for use by one individual and should not be lent!

Rating:

- a software note
This product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product.
Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection.
