Pictures and words are fine to start Pictures and words are fine to start. However, the lesson jumps from simple wording such as dog, cat, horse, egg, water, rice to full sentences. More over, I am expected to fully pronounce and remember spelling without even having masculine or feminam forms of grammar or to even practice it. Jumping from section 1 to section 2 is difficult but to section three is frustrating. I liked it far better years ago when the lessons brought my confidence up with my learning ability. This current version is less fun and more strenuous.

easy to use, proper amount in each section it is good the way make us repeated read and speak basic words and phrases that will become the backbone in establishing spanish in each learner, when those basic phrases become familiar, we naturally absorb the grammar as well. The reason why I cannot give 5 stars that some of the picture is not clear: I and my daughter were confused for some pictures for 'nina', whe either look boy or lady. also, sometimes we were not sure what we were supposed to do, where we listen and choose the right picture, or vise versa. Prononciation lesson did not work in my cell phone, don't know why, I might figure out later.

My favorite foreign language program of many I have tried many foreign language programs and I think that Rosetta Stone is the best because they teach you similar to how a child learns - with photos. I have had to call them and they answer promptly and have always been extremely helpful. I have also taken the tutoring classes with a real teacher and 3 others in the online class and it's very good and helpful.

Lifetime Subscription EXPIRED A few years ago, I bought a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION. Apparently, my lifetime subscription has expired. I wrote to Rosetta Stone and they responded that I need to renew my subscription. I bought a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION, you scum! Do NOT give these people your money. They are SCAMMERS.

In my limited experience of language… In my limited experience of language learning apps, RS seems to be a useful tool. I'm only in my second unit of Latin American Spanish but it's further than I ever got on another app. This could be that I'm more driven to learn now but it's still useful.
