Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Now you can learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before.

We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase. Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated systematically, leading to everyday proficiency. It's the natural way to learn.

The Rosetta Stone Explorer contains 22 lessons for beginning learners with nearly 900 real-life images and phrases spoken by native speakers. It develops all key language skills--listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing--while its systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. Includes previews, exercises, and tests for every lesson, with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Brazilian Portuguese, September 13, 2000

This review is from: Rosetta Stone: Portuguese Explorer (CD-ROM)

One reason I bought this was that the alternative admitted up front it was Brazilian Portuguese. Well, so is this one, or at least the one shipped to us had a little "Brazilian" sticker on it. Our Portuguese friends tell us they are much the same, so I guess it'll do, but full disclosure would've been nice. More later, maybe, after we've used it.
