Review by David Montgomery

This is easily the most comprehensive language instruction package I’ve ever seen. With four separate units, each split into several different sections – including listening, speaking, vocabulary and grammar – Rosetta Stone provides hours and hours of easy-to-use instruction in learning to speak and understand Japanese like an expert.

A language package like this requires the user to be a self-starter. There’s nobody pushing you to use it or assessing your performance. The lack of feedback might prove challenging for some users. But if you’re willing to push yourself, this system really works. (Of course, one advantage to this method is that you’re able to move at your own pace.)nnRosetta Stone comes with a high price tag. But if you’re serious about learning Japanese, and have the discipline to follow a program on your own, your purchase will be money well spent.
