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.

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.

Still no proper help from customer… Still no proper help from customer support - they simply fob you off thinking it is an issue with your computer (which I know for certain it is NOT) - I even bought a headset as they suggested! There are other ways to learn out there and until this company sort out their non-existent customer 'service' (who always seems to be someone called Fabio) and update their software - GIVE IT A MISS - it is way too much hassle to get the mic to work, to get the programme even to launch and to get the voice recognition to work if you ever get the mic to work! I am really disappointed.

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.

Highly Effective Program Over the years I have used Rosetta Stone in its various formats. It has never failed to be an excellent learning tool. It is by far the next best thing to being immersed in the culture of the language you would like to learn. Now with the increased connectivity between people the ability to connect with native speakers only adds to the effectiveness of the Rosetta Stone system of language learning. It is truly a fantastic program.
