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!

My favorite foreign language program of many I have tried many foreign language programs and I think that Rosetta Stone is the best because they teach you similar to how a child learns - with photos. I have had to call them and they answer promptly and have always been extremely helpful. I have also taken the tutoring classes with a real teacher and 3 others in the online class and it's very good and helpful.

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.

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.
