Happy Customer
I'm a beginner-beginner and had never studied Spanish until this May when I started the Rosetta Stone Spanish Latin America level I. So far, I'm very satisfied with my progress. I've only covered 9 lessons (Lesson 1.1-3.2--still Level I), but I know how to count 1-20, identify colors (many), say greetings, ask basic questions (what is...? When...? Where...? What color...? Who is...? etc.), structure present-progressive sentences and many more.
The only drawback is that "writing" portion is very short and you may not be able to spell well. But you can download "course content" online and practice writing. (Go to the Rosetta Stone website. You should be able to find "download course content.")
For those people who have never learned ANY foreign language, it may be a daunting task to learn without a textbook. But you can use the "Course Content" and check vocabulary before starting a lesson. Yes, if you want to be fluent, you need to do some "extra" works. (which means that you need a good Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary in addition to the Rosetta Stone. Yep, learning is not cheap!)
Lastly, you cannot just sit and expect that the Rosetta stone will make you a fluent Spanish speaker. You have to work hard. Persistence and determination are two important things in learning. Good luck!

Rosetta Stone
Awesome product. It is complete immersion thus making the learning process fun and difficult at the same time. I have learned a significant amount of spanish already and I am only halfway done with the first cd. I would definitely recommend this product.

Easy to use and learn
I am not a computer person, yet I was able to install this program and begin using it right away. I purchased it for my almost 8 year old to use. I did the first lesson myself so that I could explain it to my daughter. It was easy to do and just as easy to understand what to do. This program of learning spanish uses total submersion. There is NO ENGLISH at all in the parts that we have done so far, with the exception of chosing the level where you need to work and getting your grade about how you did. If my duaghter doesn't score high enough to show understanding, then I know it because of her score given at the end of each lesson. I can then have her repeat it until she understands. My seven year old daughter is able to do it and enjoys it.

Do Not Buy This Software. Corporate Policy Unfair.
I bought Rosetta Stone Japanese and Spanish (Latin America) in the last couple of years. I found them (particularly Japanese) a bit difficult. Last week in an airport, a Rosetta representative said I needed the new version - it is very much better. I called Rosetta Stone and they offered me a price of $399, $100 off of $499. This is a pretty harsh upgrade route and left me disappointed. I am not the US Government or an institution, just an individual trying to better myself and this is way too expensive. I can return original disks for the upgrade. They have not quite worn out. Perhaps an updgrade with a media fee of say $25 would be fair. Their policy is not a fair policy and I cannot recommend anyone do business with Rosetta Stone.

Awesome!
So far I've only finished the first unit, but I'm really impressed. I took Spanish for 5 years in high school, was never very good at it, and never got to the point where I could "think" in the language--I always had to translate from English to Spanish to say/write anything. Needless to say I eventually forgot everything I learned in high school and recently decided to pick the language back up. In contrast to the way I learned the language in high school (which involved learning the English definitions of Spanish words, e.g. manzana=apple), Rosetta Stone shows the user pictures of objects/situations that convey the meaning of words/phrases. This is enormously helpful in getting used to thinking in the language, and while at this point I certainly couldn't carry on a conversation in Spanish (like I said, I only finished the first unit), I don't need to translate the words and phrases I can say from English to Spanish--which feels great!

The Eclipse 400 looks is one of those airplanes that you can only imagine in movies or comicbooks. But this is not the Avenger's Quinjet, it is very real, as the video shows. Right now it's being perfected and will be delivered to Tony Starks wannabes in just three years. Its four-seat interior looks more like an expensive sports car than a plane, and it has me saying "want":
