- review of rosetta stone
It does require time no method is so easy as not to require some sacrifice on the part of the user. I am learning very fast and am driving my wife and son crazy speaking spanish to them. Put the time into this product and it is worth it

- You may be able to get this for free.
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 card, which I had anyway. Actually I spent quite a lot of time on the French module, but when I got to Paris I had very little opportunity to remark that the children were about to jump off the table. I pretty much agree with the remarks of reviewers who awarded the minimum number of stars. (I plan to cross post this to other language modules.)

Rating:

- Overpriced for what you get
I liked working with the Rosetta Stone program since it is intuitive and is a great basis for beginners. The format makes more sense than a lot of the programs out on the market that say they are for beginners and then jump into no man's land after teaching a few basics.

That being said, I have a few major gripes with the Rosetta program. First and foremost is the price. There is no reason that a program that hasn't really changed since it's introduction should be priced this much. Second is the fact that every word or phrase has only four selections. This makes it pretty easy to guess what might be the right selection just by one word in the phrase. Third is the workbooks were only a cheap rehash of the pictures and phrases from the program itself.

Do I have a good suggestion for language learning software?... no. BYKI has audio flashcards (flawed, but a step in the right direction) and Eurotalk has some sort of interesting options (but with poor audio). All in all this is a Pimsleur of a product... decent, but overpriced (and over-hyped) for what you get.

Rating:

- Good program but SLOW because of Half-Witted Security
It's such a shame that Rosetta Stone relies on simple copy protection for their CD. It requires your optical drive to work overtime to run this program since it requires the original language CD each and every time you use it.

It would be much more reasonable to allow a disk image to mount on my hard drive, which would free the significant, annoying wait for anything to happen. It takes almost five minutes just to load the language data ! (on a flashy new computer with good specifications).

It's very hard to use on a laptop as well -- mine heats up and wastes battery power spinning the language disk. You even have to uninstall ALL CD copy software you might happen to own.... What a pain !

In this tech era I am sure they could offer a user account to authorize a computer similar to what iTunes Store has done for Macitosh. Even iSale for Macintosh has this feature. I think they are being lazy at our expense.

This is a MAJOR FAILING of this software and is the FIRST thing you learn well before you even hear a single word. You will quickly bore of this cost-saving effort that places the onus of Rosetta Stone security on YOU and your hard working optical drive.

I have bought the program, and they have my money so they aren't listening to me. You on the other hand should complain about this problem before considering a purchase. For what you pay for this very expensive and very simple program, the least they can do is make it more user friendly.

This is a thing that's happening very fast, in apple terms.

How the Honeycrisp apple went from being nearly discarded to one of the tastiest best-named apples of all time -- NYTimes says "the iPod of apples" -- and more about the patenting and branding of apples.

"[D]uring its time of evaluation, Honeycrisp, being a beautiful but partially-colored apple, effectively waited in the wings until the big stage was set. I'm not saying the University would not have introduced Honeycrisp against the tide of Red and Golden. I don't know that. It just takes years to get to the point of taking the leap, and maybe 1991 would have been the leaping point regardless of the current. But there's no doubt Honeycrisp jumped into a very favorable current, one that had been started with Granny Smith and had gained irreversible momentum with Gala and Fuji. Its time had come.

But even when your time has come, if you're an apple, it'll still be a while. There are millions of Honeycrisp trees in the ground right now, but a production ranking is nowhere in sight. Like Gala, Honeycrisp will take a few more years before it climbs out of the "All Others" category.

So, if you're David Bedford, and you evaluated a variety for many years until 1991 and then released it, and it's been out now for well over a decade and it's still in "All Others," you've done a wonderful job. That's just the speed of this game. Honeycrisp is on a meteoric rise. This is a thing that's happening very fast, in apple terms."
