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.

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

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.

- Rosetta Stone Spanish Level 1
Bought it for my 15 y.o. son.He's learning Spanish easily and steady. I recommend product to all who want to learn Spanish.
Rating: 
- Good for listening compehension, but not much else.
I think Rosetta Stone may be the best program around to teach beginning listening comprehension, but that's it. It's weak on other skills. For speaking, you really need to interact with a live person in meaningful communication. Reading? You might try something called a "book" (A device made of paper that works using ambient light.) I'd absolutely recommend buying Rosetta Stone despite its limited usefulness... if the price weren't absolutely ridiculous. But, I think that's part of the appeal: "Wow, ... Read More
Rating: 
- It works great for me
Some people love it and some hate it. I really didn't buy this item based on how up to date the material in it looks, I purchased it to learn a new language and I am doing just that, I love the ease of it and I am already able to banter in the spanish tongue.
Rating: 
- Not bad, but requires more time than advertized
The impression you get watching commercials is not quite accurate. The system works you are learning the language, but it requires a considerable amount of time and effort to solidify the learning. I speak three languages fluently. Some of the learning techniques I've used in the past are present in this product and are effective. I give this product three stars not because it does not work, but rather because it does not work as advertised. Roseta's claim that it has no boring drills is false. This ... Read More
Rating: - product good; equipment not
The audio headset (Audio Companion) that was included was defective (wires were damaged) and I was unable to use it, which is a critical part of this program. I was unhappy that I paid extra for the Audio Companion and ended up having to buy another one, since the one included did not work. The Rosetta Stone program is great. I was disappointed in the seller sending me a defective product.
