I think you should merit rosetta for the capacity of making ANY languge accassible, for related languages I foresee frustation, I, dutch, like arabic rosetta, but i would not use it to improve my German,

When you say "cracked", it sounds very much like you had already been learning but didn't feel you had been progressing. But that makes Rosetta Stone the "missing ingredient", not the full cake. I can easily see how RS will be useful for people who have existing knowledge but haven't been exposed to any sort of "interactive" environment, but I can't really see it as a full course. It is sold as a full course. It is priced as a full course. If it was a lot cheaper I would agree that it's worth having, but it isn't, so it's not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I looked at the mini-sample on the RS wbesite and also tried out the program at a shopping mall dispaly and was not impressed, so I won't be buying it. RS seems very expensive especially after I realized the much better Assimil or Linguagphone programs are a little less expensive, even Teach Yourself or Colloquial courses seem to be better and are much cheaper besides.
