SEOHolicc says Aug 25, 2008 01:27PM I"ve used the demo they offer. You get 2 free lessons or something like that. I think it works really well
sociallydistressed says Aug 25, 2008 01:28PM I really liked it, and really I don't think its that overpriced for how well it worked for me.
bloggeries says Aug 25, 2008 01:31PM i think it would lay fondations when you go somewhere first time it's always a trick to start implementing
CCJones says Aug 25, 2008 01:33PM we were just talking about getting that last night. Interested in hearing your thoughts...
Jupe says Aug 25, 2008 01:33PM It works fairly well for learning languages. The interface is primitive and the price is way too high for each module.
☼ Mike ☽ says Aug 25, 2008 01:35PM We used it for French and Arabic. Unfortunately, our old version is crashing on vista, even with compatibility option correct.
bloggeries says Aug 25, 2008 01:36PM I want it for Spanish as well I'm proud to say I'm fluent in French I could speak it exclusively rest of life and get by no probz
☼ Mike ☽ says Aug 25, 2008 01:37PM It forces you to use sentences. Arabic uses Arabic alphabet, so you avoid pronunciation errors of English alphabet usage.
andysp says Aug 25, 2008 01:37PM I have used RS ofr Arabic studies, and its good. However I have not completed it, will do further on i9n time
fireshaper says Aug 25, 2008 01:40PM We are currently using it for French. It's a great tool but I'm just not a linguist, methinks.
classicalgeek says Aug 25, 2008 01:51PM I have to say that I've had to learn 6 foreign languages for work and was not impressed with Rosetta Stone. I used Transparent Language
coqui2008 says Aug 25, 2008 02:15PM have been thinking of Rosetta for Spanish too - seems like it's 50-50 from the replies
classicalgeek says Aug 25, 2008 02:19PM well of course i had to actually USE the language so my aims may differ from most
blackfeathers Aug 25, 2008 02:35PM so it's not the dead sea scrolls, the intel/ppc thing, or the former goth band eh?
starman Aug 25, 2008 02:35PM I was thinking about using it for French, but man the entry cost is WAY too much to try something.
classicalgeek says Aug 25, 2008 02:38PM for french it's a lot better to use "French in Action" by Pierre Capretz. That worked wonders for me
classicalgeek says Aug 25, 2008 02:38PM i have a VHS tape from PBS way back in the day that I can rip for you.
classicalgeek says Aug 25, 2008 02:40PM or you can watch it on www.learner.org if you can convince them you're a teacher.
Madame Maracas Aug 25, 2008 03:00PM a couple of friends of mine did they seem happy with it although they didn't yet finish the program.
