Alright so I have Rosetta Stone installed along with German level 1 and 2, but here's the thing, how in god's name are you supposed to know what everything means in future units?
Because I don't think that you can extract that much meaning from one picture when given 3 sentences.

Rosetta Stone is expensive software, if you have the money to spend on it I feel it is more than worth it. It is an extremely natural way to learn a language. Instead of learning to translate a language into your native language and THEN comprehend it, Rosetta Stone software teaches you to comprehend the language intuitively just as with your native language. This comprehension increases your natural ability to pickup more of the language and/or learn other languages faster. The process used by Rosetta Stone software is a fairly slow one comparatively, it uses a LOT of repetition, "repetition is the mother of all learning", and so it can get boring. When I get bored of the daily lessons I take a break for a couple weeks, but I'm always surprised at how much I remember when I come back to it compared with other methods I've tried. If you have the access and time for a language course I'd recommend that in conjunction with Rosetta Stone as Rosetta stone teaches you only the language, but most collage language courses teach you culture also.

Rosetta stone is based on a language learning theory.
Unfortunately there are many theories. The truth is that we learn by using many different strategies.
Rosetta Stone using on useful strategy that works by exposing you to examples from which you are meant to formulate your own concepts of grammar. This does work and is better for younger people.
When you look at the higher levels they seem indicipherable, but this is because you probably are not ready for that level yet. In language learning we need to progress step by step.

It's context and repetition. They expect you to learn it the same way babies learned, with pictures sound and repetition. No one sat an infant down and translated his mother's tongue into "baby." Just immerse yourself until you guess right every time, and when you really need to, consult a dictionary and "cheat" a little. Rosetta Stone's not bad, it's just a lot cheaper than immersing yourself in the country in question.

ive got rosetta stone also, mine is in latin... ratchanexpat is right, they expect you to learn it like an infant... you just have to understand and analise the pictures and the words, or take down some notes like i do...
if you want also, you can get a dictionary... i think amazon offers german dictionaries. thats where i bought mine.
goodluck!
hey, if you're already fluent with german, maybe we can trade.. :)
