The audio doesn’t always work well; it picks up part of what I say snd sometimes nothing at all. I know, from having taken French previously, that I have good pronunciation. I wish there would be... See more

We are still in the first week of Rosetta Stone but so far so good. We paid for the three month package to help our high school son. Most collages require two years of a second language. Learning a se... See more

So far so good. We did have a little hiccup when trying to have two different students on the same computer. It would be nice if there was the option to have it under only one email address instead... See more

Purchased home school

Purchased home school - but there was no home school options as advertised. Hard to get information on what there actually was included and what options should be selected.

Perfect Homeschool Tool

After trying Duolingo for my son's Spanish lessons, I felt he needed something more accurate (soo many bugs on that app!) but with less pressure. He is really enjoying Rosetta Stone, especially having pictures with each word and sentence.

Very disappointed

I am very upset that the Rosetta Stone homeschool has changed to only allow access for one person. I’ve been using Rosetta Stone for many years. When I bought the homeschool program several years ago, I had been able to have 4 profiles.

the format of things is good but…

the format of things is good but rosetta stone doesn't teach enough of the characters themselves and associate them to the things their teaching you, so I often don't know what even the characters mean and I only know the phrase, along with that the speech recognition can sometimes be very poor and makes thing very frustrating

My advice would be to purchase through…

My advice would be to purchase through Rainbow Resources it may also be cheaper then going through Rosetta Stone directly ours was.

We tried to buy the product through Rosetta Stone. We contacted Rosetta Stone and spoke with the person to help us walk through the purchase for our situation. Unable to understand the person due to accent. Tried twice with a different person still unable do you understand and the person did not really understand the question we were asking.

We ended up purchasing Rosetta Stone through rainbow resources. They were extremely helpful and personable. They also followed up with us after our purchase to make sure everything went smoothly. If I would’ve had that experience with Rosetta Stone I would’ve purchased from Rosetta Stone directly.

We haven’t use the product long enough but I’m sure it will be great

It's good but does need you to trial and error from time to time.

I think it's a great program for learning new languages for being new to it and learning languages in general, and I did end up getting it for free! but my only gripe is that there is no way to translate certain words that you have to trial and error our way into figuring it out but overall I think it is pretty good!

This has been a positive learning experience. The program is easy to follow and understand. The way the program uses both visual images along with the enunciation of the word or phrase is incredibly easy to pick up the language
Easiest program I've ever used.

Very easy to get the hang of and engaging!

My daughter took to this like a fish in water! We are certainly pleasantly surprised and relieved! The lessons are simple enough. Hoping they will explain more about certain phrases but we are in the beginning phase now so time will tell. In the meantime, she loves it and chooses to begin each school day now with a French lesson! I actually have to coax her to stop so we can move on to other subjects. So happy!

The voice recognition doesn't seem to…

The voice recognition doesn't seem to be accurate 100% of the time. I repeatedly repeat the word exactly and get the incorrect sound. When I get fristrated and through in a cuss word I get the correct sound. Also, being the homeschool edition, I thought it would have more than one user. Most parents homeschool more than one kid. Otherwise, I like it so far. It's a different way of learning for me and sometimes I don't even understand what I am learning.
