misses a major benefit, March 5, 2008
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Chinese, Level 1 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I've only been using this for a short time. One great feature of good language learning products is the ability to compare your pronunciation with that of native speakers. Since intonation is critical when speaking Chinese, I expected this would be of tremedous help learning Chinese. However, I happen to have a deep male voice, and the only voice they provide for comparison is a woman with a high voice. As a result, I cannot match that voice print. They mention this issue in the fine print. I think having only one native speaker to compare to is a problem with this software; they should provide multiple native speakers so you can pick the one closest to your own natural voice for comparison. I very much like the approach except for this.

Rosetta Stone V2 China, February 8, 2008
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Chinese, Level 1 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I immediately downloaded the Rosetta Stone V2 China and found that the earphones that were in the package did not work. I have not been able to utilize the product.
