Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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.

The Rosetta Stone Level I program offers a comprehensive course of study for beginning learners, leading to intermediate proficiency. The program contains over 3,500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons and more than 250 hours of mastery instruction in listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. There are reviews, exercises, and tests for every lesson with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)

Product Description

With the Rosetta Stone Danish Personal Edition Level 1, you have the same new language-instruction techniques at your disposal that the U.S. State Dept, the Peace Corps and NASA use!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised, February 21, 2006

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Danish Level 1 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I was pleasantly surprised after receiving this a week ago, about how easy it is to use and learn the language. My mother-in-law who is a native, was amazed at how much we had learned in the week since receiving. I also speak some Spanish and learned it the traditional way, but think this has been better and will probably look to purchase that one later on to refresh my skills.

My only complaint is that there is no alphabet tool to help understand how some of the letters are pronounced.

But overall, I think that the program is worth the money and will get us speaking Danish on our trip to Denmark next year to visit the family.

Plain and simple. It only works if you seriously try it. If you just do an exercise once and don't REALLY make an effort or get into it, it would be REALLY annoying. But if you make the little effort to understand, it works like a charm.

I got this for christmas, went into my room during lunch, popped it into the computer, and twenty minutes later I went back downstairs and was saying very simple sentences in Danish. It works.

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Danish Level 1 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

While I don't actually have the Level 1 software yet, I do have the 'explorer' version, and am looking into buying the level 1. So far I have really enjoyed it. Yes, it can be frustrating when you have no idea what types of words (genders, colors, etc) are being presented and you need to select the corresponding picture, however I have found myself actually thinking in Danish instead of in English (associating the pictures as I see them with the Danish words and not the English), a profound difference from high school and college level German classes that I have taken. I do believe that their approach does simulate the natural way you learn your first language and look forward to learning many languages through rosetta stone software! If you're uncertain I would certainly recommend the Explorer version software- I believe its under $10 on Amazon and should give you a good idea of what to expect!
