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.

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.

So far So far. So good. Everything that I expected. I'm definitely learning and speaking my choice language with ease. Some trouble with the program understand my pronunciation of some words, when I am clearly saying the right thing, but other than that minor hiccup, everything is fun. Now, Der Mann Isst!

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.

Why rosetta... Im currently learning Italian. In out of the blue it expects me to get the pronunciation, Capitalization, Spelling perfect. Like I just started a week in. What is this system. Make it easier. Like on the review section I cannot go back and correct it. I was sitting at my desk crying for half an hour saying why did I buy this piece of crap app
