Rosetta Stone...anyone else tried this?
 

My wife and I are doing Rosetta Stone language courses every Saturday night now, we are starting with French and working our way through all the languages

This shit rocks, it makes learning languages really easy

never heard f it....

its supposed to a great way to learn a language.

how fluent does it make u?

it has levels, the highest goes all the way up to completely fluent...I think each has basically 2 levels you can buy, basic stuff and fluency

we are just at the beginning of level 1 though, I will let you know

but they say it is one of the better language courses out there

i can't wait to tackle Italian after French

I cant wait to watch you talk in chinese lol

I bought the 1st level of Spanish a few months ago but haven't even opened the box yet. It looks like it's very easy to use but I just have to find time to dedicate to it.

You've inspired me to give it a try. Thanks! :thumbsup

Looks like a gas. I'm thinking of learning Japanese, I might give that a try soon.

it really is cool, it has a microphone thing where it says the phrase then you say it, and measures wavelengths to see if it was said correctly

nice

well if you ever wanna practise your dutch you know who to ask

Jace, is this French Ebonics ?

I have the Russian course and while it's not bad it is so boring that I often can't finish a lesson because I start falling asleep.

i think my wife has a few of these.

hahahaha...i could see that happening

that's one of the most expensive courses.. but i've heard good things about it

http://www.unforgettablelanguages.com - this is REALLY cool stuff... you learn new words by associating them with the worlds in your own language. LOVE this one!

sorry i am not from your region. What is it that makes learning easy?

tell you what, go to http://www.rosettastone.com and find out yourself :)

I've heard that a lot of government programs use that to teach their employees.

thank you very much.

I tried the demo, pretty neat

Try to study tagalog. Languages are interesting keep it up.

only heard amazing reviews about it. and yes, gov't employees use it with great success. i'd love to take a year off and study a few languages. damn, always wanted to do that. thanks for reminding me to try Rosetta. someday...

.

I'm up in the air on going with Spanish or Chinese...

I've yet to try one of these courses.

Only took Latin & German back in HS.

Thanks for the link. Looks interesting.

thats awesome, everyone in america should learn chinese, you know... just in case!

we just made a goal with ourselves...after we learn each language, we are going to that country....we are doing french right now with the incentive of going to france when we are done

Looks good... i wanna learn swedish :)!

How does Rosetta compare to Pimsleur? I'm trying to learn French as well.
