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.

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.

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!

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

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.
