The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.

Have Fun
Best of all, Rosetta Stone is addictive. With every entertaining activity, you'll feel success. You'll want to use Rosetta Stone to have that next moment, that next breakthrough. So you'll keep using it, and you'll learn more!

That's language-learning success.
That's Rosetta Stone.

No translation or memorization required.

The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That's the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this.

Think about all of the ways you've tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorization.

Instead of taking a "direct flight" from your brain to your new language, translation and memorization connects you to your old language. You always have to "fly" from your brain, to your native tongue ... and then translate what you've memorized to communicate.

That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You're going to make a lot of "connecting flights." That's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail.

Enter Dynamic Immersion.
This method encourages you to think like a baby. You'll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create.

Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you're speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident.

Discover the building blocks of a new language: Level 1.
Your journey begins with a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and language structure that you'll need to begin to think, live and breathe in your new language. Rosetta Stone's solution will give you the confidence to master basic conversational skills. You'll be able to introduce yourself, say "Hello" and "Goodbye," ask and answer simple questions, go shopping and so much more.

Audio Companion
With Audio Companion, you'll enhance the Rosetta Stone experience wherever you go. You'll learn new skills on the computer, and then reinforce what you've learned with Audio Companion. Simply play the CDs on a stereo or download them to a MP3 Player. Each Audio Companion activity corresponds to a lesson in the Rosetta Stone software, so you can turn your travel time into productive language-learning time.

Inside the box, you'll find:

  • Version 3 Personal Edition CD-ROM software for Level 1 (Windows/Mac)
  • Headset microphone
  • User's guide
  • Audio Companion, a multiple-CD set to play or download to your MP3 player



Product Description
As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity. In learning a new language, Rosetta Stone replicates this process to provide the best and friendliest language learning software tool. Learn as many languages as you want!

Rosetta Stone Personal Edition contains everything you need to start learning a language. It's built around the award-winning Rosetta Stone curriculum, which has been adopted by organizations around the world including the U.S. Army, NASA, major corporations such as Deutsche Telecom, IKEA, Royal Dutch Shell, and over 10,000 schools worldwide--and is available in 31 languages spoken by over 90% of the world's population.

Proceed at Your Own Pace - Rosetta Stone is considerate of your time. Anytime, anywhere, you can learn a new language with Rosetta Stone. You learn comfortably without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. Rosetta Stone provides guidance to make your language learning effective, fast, and enjoyable with a process that is intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging. At the end of each lesson, you are given the opportunity to test your new skills. And, since Rosetta Stone automatically records your progress, you can easily pick up where you left off, when other priorities arise.

Dynamic Immersion - Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help you learn. You will be presented with sets of images to match correctly with a spoken or written phrase in the new language. You will advance to the next set of prompts once you've successfully matched words and images and pronounced the words correctly. With Dynamic Immersion, you learn by directly associating your new language with images--nothing is lost in translation.

1 out of 5 stars Will not install   February 23, 2010
Wolf (Southern California)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was really disappointed, after all the rave reviews this software will not install on my Vista laptop. I keep getting different error messages. Their support is no help either they just blame my computer and tell me to contact the computers manufacturer. I know my way around software, it is definitely not my computer, its called crummy programming. Instead of fiddling around trying to make my computer accept this software I am sending it back, I will try another company. I haven't had this kind of trouble with software since Windows 95.




5 out of 5 stars Rosetta Stone Spanish (level 1) with audio   February 16, 2010
Andy Johnson (PETALUMA, CA, US)
I'm enjoying the Spanish lessons very much. I never thought that learning a language could be so easy. There is a level of repetition re-inforcement (to me) like; the same situations presented in various contexts so the learning never gets boring and one becomes familiar with the actual sounds through the headset-microphone. Similar things repeated in different ways is a great way to become familiar, both visually and through audio to a different set of circumstanses.


4 out of 5 stars A small caution   February 8, 2010
Tom North (Bay Area, CA)

Like more and more software programs, Rosetta watches the limit on the number of installations. If you are upgrading PC - Windows versions or other major repairs you may not only have to reinstall but reactivate. The best solution is to deactivate the current installation and MAKE SURE to save the deactivation number. Having failed to do this myself I needed customer support. The good news is customer service was great.


3 out of 5 stars great except for quirky microphone   January 26, 2010
Jeff Mims (MS USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Great, love the program. I've had College level (1) Spanish, and this is far better. However, the micophone is terrible. Constantly having to reset and relaunch. I'm going to have to by another headset. If pronouncing spanish is important to you, you need a reliable microphone headset.


5 out of 5 stars Love it!   January 25, 2010
C. Murchie (San Antonio, TX United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am thrilled with the results of this product. Just purchased Level 1 in the event I didn't like it. As advertised it is based on intuition learning and I would also add that it teaches for the "visual" learner. I have never studied Spanish but I have studied French (30 years ago) and I have had a very easy transition to this Spanish program. I installed it on my Apple Mac OS/x and both CD's installed beautifully and the software works perfect. The software comes with one license number that can used twice. I installed the software again on my teenage son's Apple laptop and it worked like a gem. He immediately started breezing through the program and so far he is extremely happy with his results as well. I would highly recommend this software and I am thinking of purchasing one for another family member as well. The only complaint I have now is that I didn't buy all four versions at once.
