    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 a few basic nouns.

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


    Now that you know these nouns, you can easily grasp the meaning of the new verb...

    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.


    Pattern your speech after a native speaker. Our speech comparison feature 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.

    Rosetta Stone's exclusive Dynamic Immersion method reinforces your natural language-learning skills with award-winning instructional technology.

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

    4 out of 5 stars So far so good...   October 24, 2008

    Well, I've only had this for a few weeks, but so far so good. My mother is from Holland and even she is impressed at how quickly and accurately I am learning to speak Dutch. I can't wait to carry on a conversation with my mother in Dutch!

    I just received the Rosetta Stone Dutch V2, Level 1 and 2, which is labeled for Windows and Mac. The headphone was damaged upon receipt. I still have not been able to open the program - it installs correctly, but won't read the language disk. (There are separate application and language disks.) In fact, my Mac froze completely - the language disk must be damaged, although it appears okay. I accessed the online support FAQ and received technical directions beyond my abilities:
    "If you are having trouble using current Rosetta Stone Version 2 software on an OS 10.5 Mac, please uninstall and reinstall the application. (Did that.) You may also need to boot from the Mac install CD to do a Disk Repair and Repair Permissions.(??)" And other such instructions.

    So I think I'm packing this up to return to Amazon. This is the first product I've returned in nearly ten years of using Amazon regularly. From the television and other media ads, I never thought I would have technical problems using the program.

    As German is already a second language for me, my review of this product is written with this additional view point. Having said that: my ability to quickly process the Dutch Grammer and master what is a transliateration from Dutch to German was almost immeidate. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a quick immersion in Dutch, rather than spending money and time on personal lessons. The issue is discipline and blocking time immeidaltey in the morning for 45 minutes of lessons, as well as a review during your lunch.

    I ordered Rosetta Stone to learn Dutch because my fiance is Dutch and I want to be able to talk to his family. Rosetta Stone is very easy to use, and the way they present the material is great because you really remember it. It's not by memorization, but by association.

    I've done a few Dutch language courses - mostly audio for convenience. Linkword is fanstastic. Pimsuleur - sucks. I decided to start multi-media as Linkword essentially ran out at level 2 (and per the above - forget Pimsuleur) and the next set of material available was mostly multi-media. Given the way Rosetta Stone jumps into the material (as I have previous experience) I am confident I will be learning new things right away.
