Rosetta Stone?
Permalink Closed

has anyone used Rosetta Stone to learn a new language? I need to learn spanish (fluently) for a volunteer position and I don't want to take classes through my school.  Opinions? suggestions?

A friend of mine is teaching himself a number of the Romance languages with Rosetta Stone (French, Italian, et. al.) and loves them. He found it very easy and engaging.

I *think* the State Dept. or the FBI also uses Rosetta Stone to teach secondary languagues to their employees.

I say go for it.

My response is similar to Lilykinds...I haven't tried it myself, but I have a friend who has used Rosetta Stone and she LOVES it. She's a regular Rosetta Stone infomercial.

Oh this is very interesting. I have always wanted to learn French, Porteguese, and Italian.

I have the french rosetta stone.  I'm able to retain a lot from the lessons and I like the method it uses of teaching.  I like matching the pictures with the phrases...makes me feel like I'm figuring out the language on my own. 

My only complaint...you're not learning useful tourist sentances like "Where is the bathroom."  or "Please bring me another drink quickly."  haha  So if you're trying to just pick up some phrases it's not the quickest way.  However, if you're really wanting to learn the language I think it's great.  My pronounciation has improved a ton with it, and that was always what I struggle with.

Just thought I'd throw another option out there. :)

Check with your area public library. Some libraries provide access to it online! I don't know exactly how it works, but our city provides the service to those who log in with their library card info. I'm really excited about it - -just haven't tried it. Maybe a library system near you offers the same thing.
