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.

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!

Boring Boring, slow, could not stick with it.
