Editorial Review:
Rosetta Stone Japanese Level I & II opens up a new world to you by teaching you how to communicate with a new culture! Reviews and testing features help identify weak points and work harder on them Comes with illustrated User's Guides and Curriculum Text books Ages 6 & up
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.
This comprehensive program provides up to 550 hours of mastery instruction in listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists or drills. Previews, exercises, and tests accompany every lesson, and there are automated tutorials throughout the program. Graphical speech recognition displays your voiceprint and compares it with the native speaker to help improve your pronunciation. (Ages 6 and older)

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Only use as additional tool
I wanted to learn Japanese, and for all the hype-dodging I do everyday, I somehow fell victim to this. I don't know how well this works for other people, but for me it wasn't enough. I had to use additional tools (other books and internet sources) to start to get even a basic understanding of the language. To begin with, how about teaching the fact that the word "mother" is different depending on whether you are talking about your own mother or someone else's mother? That wasn't included in here. ...

Rating: - Extremely useful for vocab and recognition as a kinesthetic learner
I have already learned two languages to relative fluency, Spanish and Croatian, but had never tried Rosetta Stone. Perhaps learning with Rosetta Stone is easier for me because of already knowing how to learn a language through immersion, especially when considering the fact that Croatian has almost as little to do with English as Japanese does (although at least it shares an alphabet!). This having been said, it seems to me that this program allows you to pick up on vocabulary that would be far more ... Read More
Rating:  - Great product A+++++++
I already speak Japanese, but don't have many opportunities to keep it current and fresh--this is a great tool to hear native speakers and make sure you've still got it!
Rating:  - Learning Behind the Wheel Is Far Better
As I have stated in other product reviews, Rosetta Stone is clearly overrated but solid.
The problem with the overall approach is that it requires that you spend your learning time in front of a computer, which is where you do everything else. Lot's of competition.
I prefer to do my language learning during my otherwise wasted downtime while I drive. If I study a language while driving, I win because I use otherwise wasted hours. I, like most Americans, spend more time driving than ever ... Read More
Rating: - A different way to learn Japanese
This is an excellent way to learn a new language. It uses complete immersion to allow you to adjust to the language quickly, but it doesn't overwhelm you with the language. Most other systems would have you translating the new language back to English, but with Rosetta Stone you connect the new words and sentences to the pictures of actions and objects. This trains your mind to think in the new language, which is much faster than trying to translate it.
