    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...

    2 out of 5 stars not for learning as a second language   May 1, 2008
    Sathiya Narayanan (leesburg, va)
    7 out of 12 found this review helpful

    I bought this for my daughter to teach Hindi as a second language. I found it suitable only for travellers and those who want to learn just for basic communication. It starts with words straight away though it says Level 1. So I returned it.

    5 out of 5 stars The best language program I have found   February 9, 2008
    C. Desai (Tulsa, OK)
    18 out of 20 found this review helpful

    With Rosetta Stone, after 3 weeks, I am composing sentences, comfortable with my pronounciation and able to read the script very accurately. Better than the conversational instruction materials I have tried before, RS teaches the language from the ground up. If you have tried other programs before, you will be amazed at how quickly this program will have you speaking, reading and conversing. First, this program is not trying to teach me how to book a hotel room or buy a train ticket. Too many shortened programs are all about travel. Secondly, there are no grammar lessons. You learn proper tense of the verbs by putting them in context. A much easier way to comprehend them.
    I think it is the best and I can't wait to surprise my Hindi speaking friends!



    2 out of 5 stars Okay training tool, weak software   January 18, 2008
    Steve (Minneapolis, MN USA)
    3 out of 32 found this review helpful

    I've started using the Hindi version 2 CD and while the lessons seem okay, the software is a bit minimalistic.

    Since none of my laptop computers have built in CD drives (to save weight) I've been forced to run this software tethered to a desktop computer. The vendor really should consider investing a bit of R&D money into making a version that runs on laptops without CD drives. Maybe a SD card or PCMCIA version. Be cool if it ran on an iPod.

    In the end I found the instruction method too boring and tedious to complete the lessons.
