Review by Sam I Am

I have always had a inferiority complex when learning foreign languages. I nearly failed my high school Latin class and hated studying grammer.

Why then can I enthusiastically recommend Rosetta Stone Italian? In a word, it is fun!nnIf you are not familiar with their approach, Rosetta Stone immerses you in the language through photos, repetition and contextural clues. The photographs are beautiful, the voiceovers are rich, the challenges interesting. You learn by doing, repeating and adding variety. It is like being dropped in the middle of Italy with nothing but your time and your willingness to learn.

In the beginning, it is easy to build your vocabulary, as you respond to prompts. Later as you build, you learn more grammer, the same way you learned English, through example. If you are patient and work hard, more and more puzzle pieces will fall into place. Though I am in the early stages of the process, I have no doubt that I can get a good working understanding of the language over a period of months if I am diligent.

Is Rosetta Stone worth it?nnI haven’t tried all the programs but have purchased Instant Immersion and Pimseluer but I have found they do not hold my interest like the Rosetta Stone version. Though the other programs are a fraction of the cost, they don’t seem to make me want to learn like the Rosetta Stone program.

My conclusion is that Rosetta Stone works. That means value to me.
