Editorial Review: Learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before. We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase. Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated systematically, leading to everyday proficiency. The Rosetta Stone Level I program offers a comprehensive course of study for beginning learners, leading to intermediate proficiency. The program contains over 3,500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons and more than 250 hours of mastery instruction in listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. There are reviews, exercises, and tests for every lesson with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)
With the Rosetta Stone Spanish Personal Edition Level 1, you have the same new language-instruction techniques at your disposal that the U.S. State Dept, the Peace Corps and NASA use! Learn to speak fluent Spanish in the form&dialect used commonly throughout the Americas!

Rating: - I really wanted to like this product, but...
I really wanted to like this product. I think it can be a helpful supplement to learning Spanish. Unfortunately it is priced as a premium, comprehensive learning product, which it is not.
I think you can learn a lot of vocabulary with this product, but there are numerous issues:
1) The voice recognition is temperamental. I had to use three different microphones until I found one that generated scoring above the bottom. The cheapest microphone I owned worked best for some reason. ... Read More

Before you pay a bundle for this product, check your local library. My library cooperative, in Hillsborough County, Florida, owns a licence for the whole shebang, every language and every level. Maybe yours does too: it won't hurt to check. I found it quite by accident in my library's online catalog. I registered by entering my library card number, loading a plugin that was provided, and creating a password. Now I can access it at home online and use any set of lessons I want, for the cost of a library ... Read More
Rating: - Learning Spanish for Mac users
With Rosetta stone learning is a bit joyless, first because the interface is not overwhelmingly convincing, one wonders why people create anything like that when they could do better. There are too many exercises with annoyingly repetitive phrases which block rapid progress, self-tests are not scored nor stored nor compared to previous performance, and therefore not very useful. The words chosen for learning are not very stimulating either. There is also writing control, but also here the score is not being ... Read More
Rating: - too much
Too much money for too little results. There is no grounding done up front so you have no idea how to string together the words you are learning. I had to refer to a translation service to understand what the often repeated articles were. If there were a key you could hit to get a english translation it would allow you to get a better idea of how all the Spanish words work together.
It gets boring really fast too!
