"Rosetta Stone Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

The ease of the program and learning basic words to help interact with fellow employees, enough to "get by". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

Sometimes it hard to make out full words, symbols, etc with a smaller screen. The cost is a little high too. Sometimes can experience slow speeds and downloads, not sure if that's the program or my system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional method for learning languages"
5/5
What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

I found the language immersion method very innovative and extremely effective. You get used to listening and forming sentences quite quickly from the very first steps. It is not boring at all, but rather extremely stimulating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

I did not find any negative aspects in the structure of the learning program. The only negative aspect is related to the fact that sometimes it does not recognize the pronunciation even if it is correct, so it becomes necessary to repeat the same word or phrase multiple times.

"Absolutely love it!"
5/5
What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

I love how Rosetta stone completely immerses you in the language you are trying to learn. I used it to start learning Mandarin Chinese and this was crucial because any other program was mostly just reading, but Chinese has so many pronunciations that it was crucial to be speaking. It is really effective to constantly be using pictures for form associations, even if you aren't a very visual learning, because you're also speaking and listening. Using every sense like that ensure's the most effective learning possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

I didn't love how it never told me what the word actually meant. You could usually get the idea through the picture associations, but sometimes I would go to the internet to get the exact translation. They also don't ever really go over the actual grammar rules, you just have to learn them through practice and association. Its effective, especially for speaking, but I found when I needed to write, I had to go and learn the rules elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No grammar rules. When we learn any new language, the most important thing is grammar. But RS doesn't explain that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great background knowledge"
5/5
What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

Rosetta Stone is best at helping you intuit what "sounds right" in a language rather than trying to learn through word for word translation. My students love the games. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

When trying to learn a non-Indo-European language, unless you have a large monitor, it's difficult to make out some of the symbols. Without a real human to interact with, if you aren't pronouncing something correctly, it's difficult to know what you are doing incorrectly or how to fix it.

"True Fluency Based Immersion"
5/5
What do you like best about Rosetta Stone?

I love the aspect of immersion versus rote memorization. I have found that when you immerse yourself in the language, you begin to gain a more real understanding of sentence structure and gain true fluency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rosetta Stone?

I dislike the cost of the program and the fact that it isn't cloud based. I feel as though a cloud based system that allowed you to squeeze in practice during down time would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
