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.

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.

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.

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!

In my limited experience of language… In my limited experience of language learning apps, RS seems to be a useful tool. I'm only in my second unit of Latin American Spanish but it's further than I ever got on another app. This could be that I'm more driven to learn now but it's still useful.
