The fact that it was designed for Romance languages does not in itself mean that it's the
best way to learn them, does it?

You could spell "dispel" properly?

What is the point in making a post like this? How does it contribute anything?

I'm suspicious of anyone who "speaks" Spanish or French but doesn't learn other Romance language through the one they know.

Wait, why? I speak (not "speak" :p) Spanish, but I'm learning French through primarily English-language resources because they are more readily available for me. Plus, Spanish and French are really not all that much more similar from a learner's point of view.
Anyways, if I understood this guy's post, he's saying that, by using Rosetta Stone, he didn't learn a language through another language.

Good point. However, having used it to learn 2 romance languages to
a decent level, I'd
say it's the best way (for me) to do so. All the grammar is covered, you get a lot of
vocabulary, thinking in the language, excellent pronunciation, etc. Then you're just in
the business of adding vocabulary, fancier constructions, and colloquialisms. |

"All the grammar is covered"? I've seen RS for Italian, all three units, and that's a
fairly absurd statement to make, unless you have an esoteric definition of grammar. Not
even Assimil covers all the grammar, because there's too much of it, but certainly way
more and much more systematically than RS.
