Why is Rosetta Stone the world's No. 1 language-learning software? Because it works.

Escape the endless tedium of translation, memorization, and grammar drills. Get the language you want, the skills you need and the success you deserve by learning a new language naturally--the same way you learned your first language.

You learned your first language without translation.
You learned your first language easily and naturally by connecting words to objects and events around you. With Rosetta Stone, learn a new language the same way: using native speakers and thousands of real-life images to help you think in the new language from the very beginning. Studies show that learning exclusively in the new language, without translation as a crutch, is crucial.

The exclusive Dynamic Immersion method reinforces your natural language-learning skills with award-winning instructional technology. Identify your learning goals, then choose customized courses that take you there.



The complete immersion environment puts your native language-learning skills to work, eliminating your dependence on tedious translation and rote memorization.

Images Intuition

In Rosetta Stone you learn the meaning of new language from clear, real-life images.


In this activity you learn colors.

You advance using language you've learned and clues from new images. That's your intuition at work.


Now that you know colors, you can easily grasp the meaning of the new words...

Interactivity Instruction

Throughout Rosetta Stone, you constantly interact with the program to confirm your intuition.


...and then check what you've learned.

From beginning to end you build systematically toward your language-learning goals, for the most effective and enjoyable instruction anywhere.


And finally, you get the fun of trying your new language in a real-life simulation. Speech recognition shows you exactly how you're doing.

The timeless immersion method, along with research-based techniques and new technologies, make Rosetta Stone the clear solution to your language-learning needs.

1 out of 5 stars NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 64 BIT VISTA   October 1, 2008
Rosetta Stone has a great product. Do not buy from Amazon as they are not a certified Rosetta Stone seller and you will not get the 6 month warranty. It took Rosetta Stone 4 months to figure out that I had a 64 bit Vista system and that is not compatible. Regular 32 bit vista is. I was very disappointed with Amazon on this, not Rosetta Stone--it is a good product and really works. I recommend buying this directly from Rosetta or from a certified seller on E Bay otherwise you are out a bunch of money like me and even with a re sale on Amazon, they ended up pocketing another $50 bucks! I will personally never buy electronics or software again from Amazon.


2 out of 5 stars Just Finished the Entire RSV3:Spanish Level 1   September 27, 2008
First some specs:
~Rosetta Stone Languages V3 are divided into Levels, then Units, then Lessons, then Exercises, and finally Activites like this:
3 Levels > 4 Units each Level > 4 Lessons each Unit with 1 Milestone > 3-17 Activities each Lesson > 9-40 Exercises per Activity (LOTS of practice)
~A Milestone is a conversation simulation that's supposed to test your knowledge of each unit's material

When I first started the Rosetta Stone Spanish program I was ecstatic that I was doing so well from the very beginning. I took this as a sign that me and Rosetta would have a wonderful, lasting relationship. However, I was wrong, and our relationship fizzled out once the initial sparks wore off.

Yes, I did learn a lot of vocabulary words that would help me in the real world ("I want to pay in cash," "The sweater size is too big/expensive"). And it is great that they throw Milestones at the end of each Unit to test your comprehension. This is where I realized that this relationship wasn't destined to work and here's why:

1. There were weak connections between what was being said and what was happening in the picture as you get further into the program, consequently, as the language became more complex. Nearing the end of the Unit 4 I 'kinda' knew what the picture was saying, but didn't have a firm grasp of it.
2. Sad to say, but the milestones are a joke. In the very last milestone of Level 1 (Unit 4 Lesson 4) there were 20 cues for you to say the 'right' thing. Of those 20 there were 8 spots used for phrases like: "hola," "de nada," "gracias," "buenas tardes," and "buenos dias." This far into the program, I don't want to test easy material, but more in depth material; and, to reserve that many slots for easy phrases is inexcusable when trying to master a foreign language.
3. Material is fun and easy, at first, but get's very boring and repetitive. I realize what is necessary to learn a language and I have painstakingly tried to continue on, but with such a redundant script, what motivation does this program give me over a course at the community college?

So as you can see, I fell for Rosetta's glamorous praise from the likes of Michael Phelps and other Olympians, but alas, twas merely infatuation. She offered me a great way to learn vocabulary and some grammar, but I don't have a clue how to apply it to real life. So I am moving on and have found another love (whom I have studied and researched):

Her name is Fluenz. Though a fairly recent start-up company, you can see the passion in their program to TEACH you (and me) Spanish, the ingenuity, and the commitment to each language. Try Fluenz's demo, you'll fall in love, I did!




1 out of 5 stars Rosetta on Vista... so far... just a nightmare!   September 17, 2008
I just got our Rosetta Stone today. I am on my third attempt to load it on Vista. I cannot get it to run and of course Rosetta Stone is closed as I am on the West Coast.

I have read other comments and counter comments. Is it Vista? Is it Rosetta Stone?

I truly don't know. What I do know is I just spent almost $300.00 for a program that won't run.

I can buy damn near anything on the freakin' planet for a computer for $300.00 and it will run.

But not Rosetta Stone.

Misrepresentation. Lack of warning. Lack of customer support. Lack of web based information. (Just go ahead and check out their "FAQ's"... like me you will ask yourself for the kinda of money they are making, they can't sort their FAQ's a little better?)

I think the program may be good. I might never find out at the rate they are going. But this is a very bad beginning.

Rosetta Stone... get your act together. This simply shouldn't happen.



5 out of 5 stars One of the best in foreign language instruction!   September 15, 2008
I had an excellent Spanish class for two years in high school and was well-equipped in grammer and sentence structure. Basically, I could read and write Spanish. But as with most foreign-language classes, I did not speak Spanish very often and once I went to college I forgot most of what I learned. But then along came Rosetta Stone! After completing 3/4 of the first Level, I am happy to say that this is an excellent product! I love the interactive style of learning, it is fun, and the Spanish spoken in this course is very similar to the Spanish spoken in places like Guatemala (which I visited over the summer). WEAKNESSES: Is a little difficult if you have never even looked at Spanish before, does not explain grammatical rules. STRENGTHS: Emphasizes speaking, entertaining, user-friendly, and practical.

Well structured with repetition yet variety. The photos are excellent and interesting. Recommend doing a lesson daily for best results.
