Excellent intro to a foreign language

This is a great product for learning the basics of a language. I am a native English speaker, and took mandarin. The program involves immersion, which seems like the best way to learn; I liken it to how an infant learns a language, through visual cues. Because level 1 seemed so effective, I purchased level 2 without a moments thought! I always like to compare this course to the French courses I took when I was in school; I feel I have learned more Mandarin in 3 months than I did in 3 years of french class!!

Easier than you think

"I've had an interest in French for years and decided to take a chance on Rosetta Stone after seeingTV commercials. I devoted an hour a day to it and went through Level 1 twice. I can't belivehow much I learned and retained in a short time; I was really "getting it." Today, I ordered Level II and can't wait to begin. Many years ago, I had Latin and Spanish in school, and I barelymuddled through. Had Latin and Spanish in school, and I barely muddled through. Had they beentaught in Rosetta Stone style, my interest and my grades would have been much better."

Brilliant!

"I am amazed with this product. I have learned quite a bit in such a short period of time. The RosettaStone teaching methods are so effective. I never would have thought I could read simple hindi sentences (a totally new and foreign script) in a matter of two weeks!!!"

Wunderbar

"I have a Bachelor of Arts in German from Purdue University, but since I graduated many years ago, I had lost some of my vocabulary skills and fluency. I had a good experience with Rosetta Stone in French preparing me for a trip to Paris (my travel companions called me a walking advertisement!), so I decided the bestway to get back in top form was to buy the full German set. I am so pleased with how quickly everthing is coming back to me. I am also amazed at the new online tools, especially the Studio Sessions. I have done two them and was excited to be learning from native speakers. My last session ended up being a private lesson since the two other scheduled students did not join. I had a lovely chat with a woman from Hamburg and she was very complimentary of my German skills (which I appreciated!). I also enjoy the individual games - especially the Buzz Bingo. I find it a challenge to click on all the words as I hear them. It keeps me on my toes. Thanks Rosetta Stone!"
