The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn a New Language

Proceed at Your Own Pace
Rosetta Stone is considerate of your time. Anytime, anywhere, you can learn a new language with Rosetta Stone. You learn comfortably without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. Rosetta Stone provides guidance to make your language learning effective, fast, and enjoyable with a process that is intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging. At the end of each lesson, you are given the opportunity to test your new skills. And, since Rosetta Stone automatically records your progress, you can easily pick up where you left off, when other priorities arise.

Make Language Learning Intuitive with Dynamic Immersion
Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help you learn. You will be presented with sets of images to match correctly with a spoken or written phrase in the new language. You will advance to the next set of prompts once you've successfully matched words and images and pronounced the words correctly. With Dynamic Immersion, you learn by directly associating your new language with images--nothing is lost in translation.

The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.

Learn Naturally
Learn your next language the same way you learned your first language. Dynamic Immersion empowers you to see, hear and comprehend without translating or memorizing. You already have this ability, Rosetta Stone simply unlocks it.

Fun, Easy, and Immediate Reinforcement
Interactive exercises create a learning environment that is engaging and game-like--it's fun!

How It Works

As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity.

Rosetta Stone recreated this natural way of learning by developing a method that uses a computer to mimic the environment in which we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion. A simple, intuitive interface and advanced technology confirms learning at every step of the process by prompting you to make connections between images you already understand and the new language. You receive immediate feedback, which helps you to reinforce learning. This systematic structure builds from simple nouns and verbs to more complex concepts and phrases very quickly, helping you achieve your language-learning goals faster than you ever thought possible.

Level 1, 2 & 3--Connect With the World

Connect with the world around you. Build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. Quickly gain the confidence to enjoy social interactions such as greetings and introductions, travel, dining out, giving and getting directions, shopping and other recreational activities. Learn to share your ideas and opinions, express your feelings and talk about everyday life, your work, your interests, current events, and much more.

Read this review on French Rosetta Stone
I just purchased Rosetta Stone French the other day. I had to come back here to write a review on it. For one reason is before I bought it I read some clowns review on it here that was totally negative against it. Saying it was tedious and all this. He said something about how you won't be using what they teach you like the boy is under the plane. Of course you will use all of that. You might not see a boy under a plane but you might see a cat under the table while your new French wife is looking for the cat. Please who are you working for? One of the companies that wrote How to learn French in 10 days or your money back? lol. As God as my witness I just started it and I see the quality in their techniques with immersion. They have various exercises. One core learning exercise I think and others. But it works on your mind in a very effective way. I feel I am gaining some knowledge from my second day now. Sure I don't know much but I see the pattern they are working with. Building a foundation. A couple exercises where I had to spell it out or type something I wasn't there yet but I clicked for the answers building my mind. I didn't beat myself up for it since I am just starting. I am not under a gun on this. I don't have a professor hounding me on my cognizance. All in good time. This will be like a hobby to me I think. A mind game. A confidence builder. If you like video games or crossword puzzles. Anything that intrigues you then learn a language. Sure it is early for me to praise this to the sky but I see what I purchased is valuable. And I know I will succeed. I bought it since I met a beautiful woman from Morocco online. I am in an online relationship with her now. She speaks Arabic and also French and English. I am helping her with english. And she is inspiring me to learn French. I see she knows three languages. I know only my first. I finally said hey everybody else knows more than one language and I am finally going to do it. So French is it. The language of Romance. Also hey if you don't know any french people in real life big deal. Go into Second Life and meet some French people. Appreciate everything you learn. Don't look at it like OMG this will take forever. Look at it like hey I will open this fun and intriguing program up everday for something to occupy my mind. Stimulate your mind for a few minutes. And as you know a year can go by a little too fast sometimes. And when it happens as it will you will know how to speak French. Maybe not like a scholar in a year but hey fundamentals to start you communicating and feeling part of it all. Ok well good luck. Wish me luck too. Oh and hey I am not rich but I threw down the 400 anyway. I wanted a Plasma or LCD HD but said no that isn't the responsible thing. This is the smart thing to do. Buy the tv in a few months when they get cheaper from this bad economy. Do this for your life. To be somebody. Ok thanks for reading my type happy review. Bye signed Enthusiastic Learner of French, Jerry in Northern CA.
 
3 Months Later, I'm Actually Speaking French! Étonnant!
I am the kind of person who was never good at learning a foreign language. In high school I took 2 years of German; in college I had two semesters of German. Yet I was barely able to ask where the bathroom was after all that. It just never clicked.

Fast forward 15 years and Rosetta Stone has transformed the language learning process! For years I've seen ads for Rosetta Stone in magazines and at the airport. Looking at the price tag I was always thinking to myself "Yeah, right. There's money that will go right down the drain!" Little did I know how wrong I was.

I started out skeptical -- and have to admit I was making it hard from the start -- but after two lessons with Rosetta Stone I was actually starting to enjoy learning French! I found myself really getting into the lessons and -- amazingly -- was starting to retain some of the words and their meaning!

Rosetta isn't like tradition language classes. You don't try to memorize words and phrases. No, they do away with all that nonsense. Instead you are immersed in the language through a multi-media experience. Images and sounds encapsulate you. You are actually learning French as though you were dropped right in the middle of France! You are learning it how every school child learns it!

Now here we are 3 months later and I can honestly hold a basic conversation in French. I feel confident I could get on the plane and land in France and be able to get around and take care of myself with relying on English or a translator. Now THAT is amazing -- at least for me!

This old dog has been taught some new tricks -- and I highly recommend this software not only for business folks, but also for kids and others who want to learn a foreign language without being forced to memorize useless phrases that make the proces so difficult.

 
Save your money, and pass on Rosetta Stone.
It sounds like a good idea, but it's not. I used this product over time, so this is not a snap judgement. Rosetta Stone does not deliver what is promises. I learned more of a foreign language in a semester of college than this poorly designed product delivered in 6 months of use. Massive waste of time and money. Now, several hundred dollars worth of software sits on my shelf collecting dust.

PROS:
- Rosetta Stone will consume hours of your time and lull you into believing that you are learning a language.

CONS:
- WAY, WAY over-priced.
- Designed to work only when the CD is in your computer (TIP: Plan on carrying the language disk around with your laptop if you want to use the software.)
- Voices become extremely grating over time.
- Moves you at a snail's pace; if you are learning a language for business or expect to move past kindergarten level in a few months, then forget this product.

If you want to learn a language then I'd recommend you take a course at your local college or buy one of the many texts available and a dictionary; sadly for me, either of these routes would have cost me a fraction of the price of this product and served me better in the long run. Save your money, and pass on Rosetta Stone.
 
A truly complete package
I was pleasantly surprised with the completeness of this course. It contains everything to gently introduce the user to the French language, with each stage leading to a higher one.
WIth the audio companion included, learning the french language become even easier. This is highly recommended
 
An Easy Way to Learn of Foreign Language
This is one of the easiest ways ever to learn a foreign language. And I speak as someone who has had a tin ear for learning langauges in a classroom settting.
