	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.

4.0 out of 5 stars self-study would be difficult, September 28, 2009

By	perekladach (Carbondale, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This is actually the first of a number Rosetta Stone courses that I have used over the years. I found it difficult to use because of what it doesn't have: no explanation of grammar and no glossing of the vocabulary, and there is some other vocabulary that I couldn't find in the one Pashto dictionary I was able to locate. So I found an expensive solution, which was to buy the program for Spanish, a language I'd already studied extensively. This solution worked well enough, because the content from one course to another doesn't vary and the few Spanish words I met that I didn't already know were easy to look up. So my take on Rosetta Stone in general is that it works very well and is certainly a lot of fun to use if what you are really looking to do is review- and there are so many different kinds of interactive exercises that almost all learners should get some benefit. But I'm going to go ahead and give the Pashto course four stars anyway because there are so few resources available for this language that this represents a great advance over what is already out there.
