"Visual and auditory learning with downloadable content from Rosetta Stone"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

Rosetta Stone offers an effective visual and auditory method for building practical vocabulary without relying on translation. Its voice recognition feature supports accurate pronunciation, and I appreciate that the stories in each lesson are downloadable—perfect for reinforcing learning and reviewing offline. The modules are well-structured, balancing listening, reading, and speaking skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

For languages like Japanese or Arabic, Rosetta Stone offers a gentle introduction, though deeper grammar is best explored through formal immersion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rosetta Stone solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’ve found Rosetta Stone especially useful for quickly picking up essential phrases, technical terms, and functional pronunciation—without disrupting my work schedule. It may not offer deep grammatical instruction, but as a starting point or supplementary resource, it’s highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideal for teaching languages to homeschoolers!"

4/5

What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

Rosetta Stone was an easy way to implement language learning into our homeschool curriculum while living in the state of Alaska during the late 2010s. I was able to do Spanish lessons daily while my brother learned Mandarin. One thing I really liked is the integration of different ways to practice your target language so that it felt more like a computer game than a school lesson!

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

I only have two complaints about my years using Rosetta Stone. Sometimes it doesn't seem to understand what you're saying even if you're prounouncing it exactly as the program does, and it can never quite replicate the learning experience of having conversations with a native speaker of your target language, although it is a great substitute if you cannot find someone.

What problems is Rosetta Stone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rosetta Stone helped prepare me for my job as a tutor to English Speakers of other Languages by giving me enough language skills to understand and read some Spanish. I was able to help bridge the gap for the students I tutored from the English content of their college classes to their native languages and vice versa. Learning a language through Rosetta Stone also helped increase my cultural sensitivity in general, which has been helpful in every job I've had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Productive Experience - Spanish"

5/5

What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

I love the fact that it has audio support. I think it's a lot more productive to the learning experience, at least for me, to have been able to get positive affimation, especially when it comes to pronounciation. It was a very natural progression as I go into exploring the Spanish language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

I don't think I would ever use it for this feature, but it would be neat to see the languages expand a bit more. I know I was looking into Afrikaans for a while, but never could find a good app for it. Very niche though so understandable not to be featured at this time.

"Very useful language tool for practicing"

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

No computer program can ever be as effective as talking to a real person, so I don't like that it is artifical, but this is characteristic of all language software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely Great way to Submerge into learning a language"

5/5

What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

What I like the best about this program is that you are fully submerged into learning a lanagua and you get to learn at your own learning speed. There are no restriction on how you fast or slow you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

One of the dislikes is that they don't have a reveal for the meaning of the words at the end of each sections, I feel that would help since moving from one language to another one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
