Great software but want to point out fraud issues,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) Level 1-2 Set (CD-ROM)
I would like to start the review out by saying it is nice to get authentic software from Amazon. I first bought this item from one of the many listings on ebay which said "new and factory shrink wrapped". Well I found out after installing it that it was couterfeit and put a virus on my computer. I worked with Rosetta Stones legal department and found out that they never shrink wrap their software and any of their claimed software that is shrinkwrapped is DEFINTELY FRAUDULENT. Be aware of this and continue to buy from Amazon since it is much safer.
Onto what I actually purchased. Great software but I do wish it was not all "Total emersion" but actually had some english in it so you knew exactly what they were saying to you. Would definitely buy from Amazon and Rosetta Stone again.

Rosetta Stone Review,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) Level 1-2 Set (CD-ROM)
I am very happy with it; it is brain friendly and intuative. I like to do it so it's easy to keep working on it often. It's not drudgery. It has games, lessons, online etc so it's layered and diverse. I often quit because I can see myself getting tired, not because I don't want to do it anymore. I feel like I am learning though sometimes get impatient with myself because I knew I knew it. I recommend it often to people I know and get many questions about it. Yes it's pricey but it's worth it. I get to practice often as I am around many native speakers; they appreciate my effort I think.

This review is from: Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) Level 1-2 Set (CD-ROM)
Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I overheard a conversation between two latinas and I had a real grasp of what they were saying in spanish. From that moment I've been more than motivated to continue with Rosetta Stone! It's great!
