Rosetta Stone's lifetime subscription is a scam! A few years ago, I bought a lifetime subscription to Rosetta Stone. This year when I came back to continue learning the intended language, I realized that it does not work anymore. I contacted customer service, they just told me that I have to purchase the software again, otherwise, I cannot use it. I pressed on squeezing out an explanation about this issue, but they did not give me any explanation. Marketing the software as a lifetime subscription is a scam and consumer protection agencies should watch these practices very closely.

Great app, just some poorly laid out segments Great language app and scenarios, easy to learn. However their audio reader is horrible. It doesn’t pick up sounds and you have to repeat several times and this is on different devices with and without headphones on. They also have this story/conversation section where you are supposed to speak the answer but the sequence of the story is not clear as it’s a reel that’s not well laid out. Example is the camping trip with a dog and bread and apples.

Love that I can go the extra mile in the lessons I love that I can work through the lessons on the computer or my phone--on the go. The setup allows me to do a little extra and repeat phrases etc before actually moving to the next level. Overall the product is adding new vocabulary and conversations to my daily activities.

Boring Boring, slow, could not stick with it.

Initially it looked promising Initially it looked promising . Despite the advantage of having a basic understanding of common French I quickly became frustrated by the unclear directions . I’ve not been able to connect the exercises into any workable pattern . The gender of nouns and verbs are quite confusing and the exercises don’t add any clarity. I don’t feel any constructive progression and will not subscribe beyond the trial course. . Sorry!
