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.

The timeless immersion method, along with research-based techniques and new technologies, make Rosetta Stone the clear solution to your language-learning needs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tool for Tagalog, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Tagalog, Level 1 & 2 (CD-ROM)

So far I am very happy with this program. I have been using this program for a short time and can tell what I'm learning is sticking. One thing I like about this program is that unlike books and some other programs it doesnt get bogged down in explaining endings and cases, it teaches by using them in context. The one weakness is that like many language programs/books it doesn't always convey they way "it's really done". For example after learning the basic colors my wife (who is a native speaker) explained to me they use the english words for most colors. I think that anyone who sticks with this program will get a good grasp on the language. I would recommend once you have a good grasp watching some tagalog movies to hear what you've learned in a "realistic" setting.

Having tried many different methods to try to learn Tagalog, this one is helping what I learn stick. Also, the price was well below the competitors. Great buy.

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V2: Tagalog, Level 1 & 2 (CD-ROM)

This is the way to learn any language. I'm a stay at home mom that is raising half filipino children to be trilingual: spanish english & tagalog. This program has been the wisest investment we made towards this difficult task. I wish for more time to do it. The program takes every lesson & makes you learn to spell it, say it, memorize it, use it in real life cotents, etc.
