Software Reviews of Rosetta Stone Version 3: Spanish (Latin America) Level 4 & 5 Set with Audio Companion

Customer Review: Not so much a review as a commentary
Summary: 5 Stars

I have finished Rosetta Stone, Spanish, Latin America levels 1 - 3 and am planning on purchasing levels 4 - 5. I read the reviews of levels 4 - 5 and feel people might get the wrong impression about the course. For background I've had 2 years of high school German many years ago and decided to learn a new language. I picked Spanish because I felt I could find many places to hear, read and write the language. I have very infrequently use the German.
Rosetta Stone is a language learning system designed to take you from no knowledge of the language to fluency. It does this in many clever ways. You are asked to look at pictures, think about what is going on and create an appropriate response. It's the thinking that makes it work. Most language systems give you a canned response which may work in a class but becomes very stilted in real life. For example: "Hello, How are you?" You might say "Fine, Thank you"(canned) but you could also say "Just great", "Not so hot", "Fabulous", etc. The course also has you type some of the answers. This teaches you how to write and read the language as well as how to spell in the language. There is also practice in pronouncing groups of letters that are different in other languages. An example is "jue" in Spanish is pronounced "way" in English. This is so the listener can understand your spoken Spanish better. Since the course covers a wide range of subjects not necessarily in the order you would need them, I'm not sure if it would be a good idea for someone fluent in Spanish to just get levels 4 - 5. To me it's like saying I've read the book so I only need to watch the last half hour of the movie. If you are that proficient there are better venues out there to focus on just what you want to know. But if you are fairly new to the language this seems to be the best well rounded system out there.

That's language-learning success.
That's Rosetta Stone.

No translation or memorization required.

The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That's the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this.

Think about all of the ways you've tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorization.

Instead of taking a "direct flight" from your brain to your new language, translation and memorization connects you to your old language. You always have to "fly" from your brain, to your native tongue ... and then translate what you've memorized to communicate.

That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You're going to make a lot of "connecting flights." That's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail.

Enter Dynamic Immersion.
This method encourages you to think like a baby. You'll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create.

Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you're speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident.
