Rosetta can be a great program, if you can access it. In the four years, I have been using Rosetta, they have never been able to successfully renew my subscription, synchronize my devices, (iPad, android phone, Kindle, & PC), or determine that have I already have a valid subscription so I don't keep getting solicited to purchase another subscription. They live tutors that they tout are rarely available. Working with Rosetta has been very frustrating and disappointing.

I am on unit 2. I love it. I tried the audio programs based on reviews, but got nowhere as I am not an audio learner. This program is amazing. I love the immersion approach.
1. I've realized you have to be patient and let the process do its work. If you want to be speaking quickly, you probably want an audio memorizing program.
2. I expect to understand the language quicker than speaking the language. I think speaking is more difficult in the learning process; that may be where an audio program may get quicker results by memorizing phrases etc. And I'll just have to make the leap and speak with others, as I work with 50/50 spanish/english.

Activation code did not work and the box appeared to have been rolling around in someone's car for about 6 months.

I used this to study Polish. Polish is not an easy language to learn when your native language is English because of its grammatical structures and difficult pronunciations brought about by long words with not much in the way of vowels. Because of this, a cookie cutter approach to teaching the language lacks a lot of what you need.

Children learn by associating words with their experiences and they spend the first 4-5 years of their lives doing this before learning things like reading and writing. As an adult learner however, you're learning all three at once, so you're not truly "learning a new language the same way you learned your first". And because of that, a cookie cutter approach cannot be effectively used with a language like Polish. Seriously Rosetta Stone, okulary przeciwsłoneczne is not a "one of the first lessons" kind of word. Yes sunglasses are a very common object used by most people and used often, but making the beginner pronounce, read and write okulary przeciwsłoneczne as one of the first lessons is sort insane.

Also, as you progress thru the system, you are eventually taught past and future tense which is also done thru pictures alone. This requires you to study the pictures presented and figure out what is going on and when. The system is impatient and doesn't give you enough time to do this and formulate your sentence. Then it beeps at you as you are still stumbling thru, prompting you to repeat. If there's a pause button to hit so you can take that time, I have't found it. This, I think, is the most frustrating.

I recommend if you use this system, that you do not use it alone. Find some other sources to learn from as well. Pick up a book that explains grammar, a CD that focuses on word practice, or you may want to try duolingo. The more you are exposed to the language, the easier it will be to pick it up.

I bought this for my daughter and she has been using it but she has one complaint. I doesn't have ability to know where you left off so you have to find that every time.

I was looking for a product I could use during my daily commute. This product doesn't provide these types of sessions. Disappointed, that's all.

I have been at Spanish, "Latin America version" for about a month and I think the program is very comprehensive. I also think it would be better with actual Spanish speakers to work with. I would also buy again. Its fun.

The package did not even come in a box. It came in a UPS flat envelope. It just came with a pamphlet and no headphones. It had to have a box at one time. It was as if someone opened the box and said, "I think I will just send someone a flyer about Rosetta Stone." The activation code did work, however I ponder the lack of feedback I would receive without the use of the headphones that I paid for in this kit. The arrival and location of the mystery headphones elude me. I suppose I could just talk to myself in a new language and feel overly confident in my abilities.
