Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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... See more

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

Product is marketed as a homeschool…

Product is marketed as a homeschool product suitable for children but has no parental or admin controls whatsoever. In other words, the child has complete access to all settings once they are signed in. I contacted customer service assuming that I had somehow misinterpreted the settings, but no, that is how it is. They were dismissive of my concerns and I selected my issue was NOT resolved and left a comment why. The follow up email was concerning, not only because they clearly didn't care about this issue, but it also had several glaring grammatical errors. I mean errors my 3rd grader would catch. I am not trying to be funny about it, this is the method my child is using to learn another language, I don't think expecting a proficiency in English is unreasonable.

I purchased the German Language program…

I purchased the German Language program for my 17 yr old son who has immersed himself into the program. He really enjoys the mobile app that allows him to practice and use the audio throughout the day. Thank you for providing a program that gives a solid language foundation, and gets the student up and running on day 1.

I'm very disappointed...

I'm very disappointed...I had to contact support numerous times because I wasn't able to log in in my tablet. I was told by the support staff that I can be logged in only in 1 device and that the system won't log me out automatically from another device...So basically, if I forget to log out from my computer and travel to Brazil, I won't be able to log in to my RosettaStone while I'm there because I forgot to log out from my device in the US...If it's true or not, it sucks to hear that. Also, I bought the Home School version of Rosetta thinking it would be a fun version for my 5 year old son and IT IS NOT...I remember using Rosetta to teach my husband in the past and I feel like it is still the same old Rosetta Stone. I'm a pre-school teacher and director and would definitely work on a better version for children, if I were you...So, at the end of the day, yesterday I finally figure out that my son was having trouble accessing the app on his tablet..an app that keeps asking you to log in??? Inefficient, complicated...then I tried to reset the password and it still wouldn't let us log in. I'm sorry but it's been months now that I bought Rosetta Stone for my son and he used it once...again, I'm disappointed.

Great for Homeschool!

We just started using Rosetta Stone's homeschool edition and our children have learned so much and really enjoy the variety of material. They are able to learn how to speak, read and write in another language and Rosetta Stone has so many languages to pick from.

It's too hard for a beginning tool

It's too hard for a beginning tool. Why aren't you starting with colors, people, numbers, etc? starting in with they run, she runs, he runs, etc., is too hard for a beginner child.
