I need to learn a new language, has anyone ever tried Rosetta?

aceduecetrey · Jun 2, 2007

I need to learn a new language and I was going to start taking classes, but someone told me about Rosetta Stone and told me he was thinking of giving it a try. Does anyone know anything about it?

It's decent, it works like you're a kid, so you learn from image recognition and learn to associate images with words, like as a baby.

It's not a "Learn a language quickly for a holiday" program, but more one to teach you to speak a language naturally if you're going to need a lot of it.

I used it for Greek and am currently using it for Danish.

go to any college, check out the english as a second language building. Find a hot chick that speaks the language you want, and take her out for coffee for free tutoring.

That is how I learned to speak spanish in 3 months.

I looked into this..........but it was like $2500 or something silly like that.

I'm sure i'll eventually buy it................

I got it off bittorrent the other day.. to try it as a trial.. I wasn't such a fan after having tried it for about 2-3 hours. Didn't feel I had learned much. Then again, I'm not a visual learner so much.

Not sure what version you got, or what have you.

My cousin showed it to me before and it looks great
he has used it twice to learn two different languages.
it's highly regarded as one of the best tools out there

obviously, like anything else...it's not going to be for everyone

The_Falls if you decide you may want it, shoot me an email as well. I can see what my cousin can do. tell me what language you're looking for to

As I said, it's not a learn-quick tool for tourists, you'll get nothing out of it in 2-3 hours really. It takes a serious investment of time, as would any other method to properly learn a language.

job wise arabic is the top language to learn right now. extremely difficult though. if you get to native proficiency though, you can have a pick of government jobs

I've lived with Arabic speaking people, and had a best friend at one time who spoke it.

I will say this about the language. It's incredibly inefficient versus english!

It takes much longer to say the same thing in Arabic. This could be why it's difficult to learn. Having said that, I will say it's nearly as useful as spanish. (I'm not kidding, both Spanish and Arabic, I wish I could speak them.)

I just learn languages as I need them, I did french/spanish when I was young, and recently greek/danish for specific purposes.

Do you have access to torrents?

I could send everybody in here copies of Rosetta that I have downloaded on dvd if you want or give some direct download links. I'm currently re-learning french and learning Arabic (modern dialect). Hit me up if anybody needs help.
