Has anyone used Rosetta Stone to learn a new language. I want to learn Spanish and would love to know what other peoples experience was....

    I bought the Spanish one (you should not stop at kysoks in the airport), and I have tried it a couple of times. It makes a wierd noise when I ran the CD - might be the computer though. I have not given it the attention that I should, and maybe I need to take it back.

    My husband is working on it, and he likes it, so far. It is said it is the best way to learn a language.

    I'd say go for it - they do have a moneyback guarantee. They have specials as well - if you call them, ask what specials they have.

    Good luck!

    I've only used Rosetta Stone a little bit, and it's good... but for someone to "learn" a language from software-- even the best-- it takes practicing EVERY day and then also practicing aloud too....

    I'm actually a Spanish teacher myself, and from what I understand, Rosetta Stone is the best as far as software goes for learning language. You really need interaction with other people to learn it best though. I'd be happy to help if you ever have any questions! Buena suerte!

    I watched my brother go through a few lessons in Korean. We already "know" Korean, but our grammar is horrible. It was very interesting and I actually liked it so much that I'm tempted to grab one myself just to brush up on grammar rules and etc. to be able to speak more comfortably with my family overseas. I always feel stupid because I can't figure out how to word things correctly and, as dad says, I speak 5-year-old Korean. LOL.

    If you use it all the time and really put time and effort into it, I think it is a great product. However, it still requires time and effort. :)

    I was thinking maybe I'd buy level 1 and see how I get on then get the rest or go to a class. I'm gonna friend you and maybe once I start learning we can comment in Spanish :laugh:
