One of the things I love about the forum is its usefulness to its members. This thread has ceased being useful, in my opinion, and nothing good can further come of this discussion. Let's close it. Edited by iguanamon on 15 June 2012 at 5:01am 7 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I'm not at all surprised that you don't know what you have accused me of. That's part of the reason you have created such tension amongst members who've posted in this thread. You come on here and insult people to the point where you have posts deleted, without apologizing. You make false accusations and laugh whilst doing it, no apologies. You have accused us of only disliking RS in order be be part of some kind of cool group, this is outrageous. When challenged on any of this, it's like hey guys c'mon I'm just trying to have a conversation you guys need to calm down. Classic passive aggression. As to your argument as to why RS is so good, well I can't even grasp what your argument is, but you are hostile to, and dismissive of, anyone who doesn't like RS as if their opinions have no validity. I don't like RS. I'm entitled to hold that view and I claim that right. Apologies friends. I'm usually quite low key on this forum because I'm just a beginner and don't feel I have much to contribute. But this guy has really got my dander up!

The following is a post from David Hayter on the Rosetta Stone facebook page. It's a straight copy and paste,
I've made no alterations. David Hayter I just wish they said in the article, "This confirms that Rosetta Stone is how to learn a language, and all the dweebs on howtolearnanylanguage.com need to throw out their Assimil book/cassette packs from the '50s and get with the times." Somethin like that :) 25 May 2011 at 09:32 via Mobile · 1 He's just been mugging us off and we fell for it!

Eh, let people freely choose which discussions to read and contribute to. About Rosetta Stone, I think it can be a useful complement to your main study regimen, however the expectations it raises for casual users new to language learning are greatly exaggerated bordering on misleading, and its price is unjustified based on what you get out of the investment and the opportunity costs represented by the number and quality of competing textbooks and manuals the student could purchase for the same amount. Furthermore the terms of use of the software constitute a real abuse against its customers. I think the most valuable aspect of Rosetta Stone is the amount of audio you get and its effortless connection with its written form, along with a solid drilling of the most basic patterns. 8 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||
