    4 out of 5 stars Excellent Program   June 29, 2007
    S. L. Rollins (MO)
    5 out of 5 found this review helpful

    So far, I have really enjoyed this program. I find it an easy way to learn a second language. I would highly recommend this program, and have recommended to several people. The only problem, hence the 4 stars instead of 5, is the lack of dictionary. I fortunately had a Spanish-English dictionary on hand. Most of the words you can figure out by the context of the situation. However, it is nice to have a dictionary to clarify or confirm your inference (guess.) Other than that, I enjoy the different methods of learning available...like speaking, listening, writing, reading, etc.

    I agree this is really dumb. What's the point? The original CD's may be backed up (thank God), so it's useless as an anti-theft device. I am a Mac user, and I have messed around with using disk images to replace the CD, but without success. Apparently they only permit direct hardware calls to the CD drive. May check with some gurus to see if there is a workaround.

    Basically a good product, but with just enough dumb, annoying flaws (and over priced) to prevent five stars.

    In my experience really learning a language requires a mix of learning approaches. That means books, tapes, tutoring, and experience in a country that uses it. I have done all of these and feel this product is well worth including in the mix. I highly reccomend it. If you're serious you need to just pony up the money and use it.

    We ordered this program only two weeks before moving to Bogota, Columbia for a two year tour. However, the Spanish Rosetta Stone taught was much higher level than the survival Spanish we needed when we arrived. Overall we are learning the language and it is a GREAT program. Wish we would have bought it 3 or 4 months before departing.

    The Rosetta Stone application requires that the language CD be present in the harddrive, and it *continuously* spins up the CD disk while the program runs. This unfortunate design will quickly run down your laptop batteries, making this application unsuitable for travel. My repeated requests to Fairfield Technologies, the Rosetta Stone software company, to remedy this problem were declined. Considering the substantial price paid for this software, it should *behave* like software, and not a DVD. If the application could be installed and run like normal software, it would not uselessly drain you laptop batteries.
