5.0 out of 5 stars The best language program I have found
With Rosetta Stone, after 3 weeks, I am composing sentences, comfortable with my pronounciation and able to read the script very accurately. Better than the conversational instruction materials I have tried before, RS teaches the language from the ground up. If you have tried other programs before, you will be amazed at how quickly this program will have you speaking,...

2.0 out of 5 stars not for learning as a second language
I bought this for my daughter to teach Hindi as a second language. I found it suitable only for travellers and those who want to learn just for basic communication. It starts with words straight away though it says Level 1. So I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best language program I have found, February 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Hindi, Level 1 (CD-ROM)
With Rosetta Stone, after 3 weeks, I am composing sentences, comfortable with my pronounciation and able to read the script very accurately. Better than the conversational instruction materials I have tried before, RS teaches the language from the ground up. If you have tried other programs before, you will be amazed at how quickly this program will have you speaking, reading and conversing. First, this program is not trying to teach me how to book a hotel room or buy a train ticket. Too many shortened programs are all about travel. Secondly, there are no grammar lessons. You learn proper tense of the verbs by putting them in context. A much easier way to comprehend them.
I think it is the best and I can't wait to surprise my Hindi speaking friends!

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay training tool, weak software, January 18, 2008

Steve "linuxisfree" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Hindi, Level 1 (CD-ROM)
I've started using the Hindi version 2 CD and while the lessons seem okay, the software is a bit minimalistic.

Since none of my laptop computers have built in CD drives (to save weight) I've been forced to run this software tethered to a desktop computer. The vendor really should consider investing a bit of R&D money into making a version that runs on laptops without CD drives. Maybe a SD card or PCMCIA version. Be cool if it ran on an iPod.

In the end I found the instruction method too boring and tedious to complete the lessons.
