Rosetta Stone

[AlphaFrog]

My husband took a look at the demo version when my dad was looking at buying it and he says it's pretty good as far as pronunciation and accuracy of translation. I don't think by #2 you're getting much in to syntax/colloquialisms yet, so I'm not sure about that.

I think I remember one of my friends buying it and saying it was pretty good.

I teach Spanish and ESOL and we have the English-learning version at school. It's great!

I'm really glad you posted this topic PiKA.

I've been wanting to ask the same thing. I'm trying to learn Spanish because I think it would be beneficial for my job. I have one CD set (Learn in your Car series -- I listen to it at work w/ headphones... ) but it seems to be travel-oriented. Like it mostly consists of questions/nouns that you would use when traveling to a Spanish-speaking country.

I've seen the ads for Rosetta Stone in airplane magazines, but it's a nice chunk of change to throw down, so I'd like to hear more experiences with the program.

Does it take a long time to pick up? How long would current users recommend using it per day or week to pick it up?

My husband uses languages for work--and has said that Rosetta Stone comes highly recommended by lots of his colleagues. If you want to try it out, he said that he found some languages at the library.
