    Amazon.com Product Description
    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.



    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.

    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 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 Wanted Portuguese NOT Portuguese Brazil   July 5, 2008
    Lanette (Florida)
    10 out of 11 found this review helpful

    I ordered this product based on the title, "Portuguese, Level 1". When it arrived it was "Portuguese - Brazil", which is not at all the same language. There were other Rosetta Stone "Portuguese - Brazil" shown, so I had no reason to believe that regardless that it shows it as a different product, they were all the same. I was going on an important business meeting in Angola (where they speak Portuguese) and was totally unprepared. I immediately (within an hour) returned the "wrongly advertised" product, but over 3 weeks have passed and I have not received refund. Upon calling Rosetta Stone (because there is no way to call Amazon) they informed me that they don't make a "Portuguese" version, even though they acknowledge that there are several countries (including Portugal) that use that language, where the only country that uses "Portuguese - Brazil" is...you got it, Brazil. Misrepresented by Amazon...Limited thinking by Rosetta Stone...Unhappy customer.

    This product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product.
    Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection.
