rosetta stone?

Question

i was just wondering if any of yall have used the rosetta stone and if so does it really work i mean can fluently or as fluent as a native of that language if so let me know because im thinking about ordering the spanish packet.

Answer 1

I tried Rosetta Stone for Spanish. It does not have any translation, grammar or conjugation instructions though so it will be very hard to go beyond the basics with it. There is no way to be fluent with it. Their program is based on the same thing where you see these 4 pictures over and over again. I was disappointed especially for the price I paid.

My college uses a software called TeLL me More, by Auralog. It covers not only the basics, but also intermediate or advanced level. It is also a lot less repetitive. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,..., includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can check out their website at http://www.auralog.com for a free demo and compare too. You can check out independent reviews on the web too http://www.toptenreviews.com or about.com websites.

The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much

Answer 2

I am within the procedure of making use of Rosetta Stone for Pashto. It is an overly well studying support, however that is to not say that you will not want different useful resource elements as good. It might be bigger, like supplying a dictionary of mentioned language with it, however that might in flip make it much more high priced. It is a well funding total. I might say significantly don't forget making use of it. If the price range aren't to be had, your nearby library would have a used variation of the only you desire with no need to pay $three hundred.

Answer 3

I haven't actually tried Rosetta Stone, though, I've pretty much tried everything else. I did hear from someone else who used it to learn Chinese and they apparently really liked it. You could order the free demo, first and see how you like it.

Also, you could try http://www.spanishsense.com There's a 15 day free trial with that and I really liked the Chinese version.

elmjunburke, Wondering is talking about the language learning program, not the historic artifact.

Sorry Wondering, I've not used it, but I've considered it myself. These days most of us need at least a little Spanish just to do business. Unfortunately, with my lousy hearing, I have great difficulty picking up foreign languages.

Answer 5

The Rosetta stone is in Egypt. It is not for sale. If anyone claims to have pieces of it, they're fake.
