Product Description:
Learn Spanish! Foreign Language learning with Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) Level 1 allows you to build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. Gain the confidence to master basic conversational skills, including greetings and introductions, simple questions and answers, shopping and much more.

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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fine Software, but very customer UN-freindly company
I'm giving this product a "2", only because of the company's behavior, not because of the product. The product is good, but overpriced. If the price and company were reasonable, it could warrant a 4.

I have purchased Rosetta Stone products twice. Most recently V.3 German, level III, hoping to brush up on my abilities. I found though, that level III really still was not up to my level (I've been active with the language for 22 years). So, I sought to simply resell it and recoupe some ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Good Product, Unfair Corporate Policy
I bought Rosetta Stone Levels 1 & 2 for my son to keep up his language skills over the summer. He never really got into the programs, using them for only an hour or two, so I decided not to keep them. Because we were beyond the 30-day return period, I decided to list the discs on eBay, to try to recover some of my $300. I received a legal notice saying that Rosetta Stone would not permit the sale. Rosetta Stone said that I hadn't really bought the programs, just a license to use them, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent stuff
Honestly, I was a little skeptical about buying this software at first, but now I am glad that I did buy it. In one month this software has taught me more Spanish than I learned in two years of high school Spanish classes. Rosetta Stone is a little over priced, but it does work.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty good but the headphones are poor quality
I am currently in using the product and I think it's great. I'm a visual learner so it works out but I do have to say that you should get a Spanish to English dictionary. The headphones\microphone that come with the software are not very good. Even speaking in a clear loud voice it misses words. I'm not talking about hard to say ones, it misses words like "el" and "la" even with several attempts. I used the onboard mic on my laptop and it seems to be better.

Other than the headphones ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great learning product
Came in speedy time, just as described. Great, easy to use and really learn from it.
