Rosetta Stone Software Review
Rosetta Stone is obviously one of the big hitters when it comes to language learning software. In addition to their internet presence, you will find Rosetta Stone advertised on TV and in magazines. Special versions of the Rosetta Stone platform have been contracted by the US military to expedite the process of learning a foreign language. Like most language learning software, the program is very naturally suited to integrating text, audio, and images.
The Rosetta Stone program consists of three difficulty levels, which are generally purchased individually. There is also the option to purchase all three together for a slight discount. At the time of this writing, 31 different languages are available, including some options that are less popular with other programs, such as Tagalog, Swahili, and Hindi.
All Rosetta Stone programs follow the same pattern using the same words and concepts in their respective languages: an image is shown to the user with an accompanying verbal pronunciation. The user is then asked to identify the image. In time, the images represent more complex concepts and phrases.
While Rosetta Stone represents an excellent approach to learning the very fundamentals of a language, much criticism revolves around the program's lack of regard for individual cultures. The generic approach to each of the many language courses offered by Rosetta Stone pays little heed to the differences being cultures or the connotative impact of words and phrases.
Before you make your decision, you should read the review for Tell Me More. Of the big language learning softwares, it is probably the most comprehensive one available.

Actual Customer Feedback: "I've just recently used the Rosetta Stone program, the Spanish version, in a class I took at a local J.C.; it was very good...but very repetitive" "Rosetta Stone is an amazing product if it is used correctly" "Rosetta Stone Spanish is a good Spanish course for learning the basics of Spanish" "I am learning quite a bit of the French language with Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is limited in the fact that as you learn the language, you really don't know what the exact meaning of a particular word is." |
