The Rosetta Stone

So, I only recently heard about this program and wanted to hear some opinions from in here. Anyone felt they were able to improve from using Rosetta Stone? I mean it looks okay, I just wonder if you'll actually learn something from it. I intend to improve my French with it.

I used the Japanese version, and I found it quite refreshing. It felt kind of creepy, not really seeing any English words at all. Luckily my closet-otakuism helped me get a grip on the situation.

At the same time, it's somewhat frustrating to be consistently exposed to things you don't know. It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of program :)

It doesnt really teach you how to spell gud. srsly, i was learnin some swedish and i couldnt spell any words from what lessons i took of it. I got a demo disk in the mall and it had a bunch of languages on it. so, i suggest you get one of 'dem CDs and check it out for yourself.  As for the Japanese quiz things when you learn japanese,  you get a symbol displayed and you try to guess which picture it is, ex: car, cat, tentacle, porno, etc. but i guess that forces you to learn the symbols too. Its better than trying to use a book or some other shit.

How can you spell Swedish when you can't even spell English properly?

I use pimsleur and its fucking wierd. I did the Japanese one, so far it's been learning how to ask a woman for a drink. The most recent one involved me repeatedly asking her to eat/drink with me and getting rejected.

Pimsleur is not for the sensetive folks lol
