Why is Rosetta Stone the world's No. 1 language-learning software? Because it works.

Escape the endless tedium of translation, memorization, and grammar drills. Get the language you want, the skills you need, and the success you deserve by learning a new language naturally--the same way you learned your first language.

	The complete immersion environment puts your native language-learning skills to work, eliminating your dependence on tedious translation and rote memorization.

	Images		Intuition
	In Rosetta Stone you learn the meaning of new language from clear, real-life images. In this activity you learn a few basic nouns.		You advance using language you've learned and clues from new images. That's your intuition at work. Now that you know these nouns, you can easily grasp the meaning of the new verb...
	Interactivity		Instruction
	Throughout Rosetta Stone, you constantly interact with the program to confirm your intuition. ...and then check what you've learned.		From beginning to end you build systematically toward your language-learning goals, for the most effective and enjoyable instruction anywhere. Pattern your speech after a native speaker. Our speech comparison feature shows you exactly how you're doing.

You learned your first language without translation.
You learned your first language easily and naturally by connecting words to objects and events around you. With Rosetta Stone, learn a new language the same way: using native speakers and thousands of real-life images to help you think in the new language from the very beginning. Studies show that learning exclusively in the new language, without translation as a crutch, is crucial.

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Latin, Level 1 (CD-ROM)

The Rosetta Stone Latin is fabulous. My daughter often completes more than one lesson at a time. It is great the way this approach teaches like a person learning a first language--getting familiar with how things sound rather than cumbersome rules (and Latin has plenty). Think Latin is a "dead" language? It is alive in all the Romance languages and in English. In addition to helping understand grammatical structure, this is going to help my daughter on her SATs as well as learning additional languages.

4.0 out of 5 stars not too bad, but flawed, June 5, 2008

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Latin, Level 1 (CD-ROM)

Overall this has expanded my Latin vocabulary but the dialect drives me crazy. Rosetta Stone needs a separate program for ecclestical Latin (which is actually spoken as opposed to classical.) Other than the dialect issues this is a good program.
