Can't say enough about this app! Rosetta Stone has made learning new languages quite easy and very comprehensive. It has made me want to learn many more languages because it's so user friendly and effective at getting main components across early. I could go on and on.

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.

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.

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.

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.
