The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.
Learn Naturally
Learn your next language the same way you learned your first language. Dynamic Immersion empowers you to see, hear and comprehend without translating or memorizing. You already have this ability. Rosetta Stone simply unlocks it.
Engage Interactively
Get feedback to move forward. You learn best by doing, and you'll apply what you've learned to get to the next step. Rosetta Stone adapts to your individual needs and skills, because you drive the program with your progress.
Speak Confidently
Start speaking immediately. From the very first lesson, you'll speak. You'll begin with essential basics, which form the building blocks of the language. Soon you'll create new sentences on your own, using words you've learned.
Have Fun
Best of all, Rosetta Stone is addictive. With every entertaining activity, you'll feel success. You'll want to use Rosetta Stone to have that next moment, that next breakthrough. So you'll keep using it, and you'll learn more!
That's language-learning success.
That's Rosetta Stone.
No translation or memorization required.
The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That's the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this.Think about all of the ways you've tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorization.
Instead of taking a "direct flight" from your brain to your new language, translation and memorization connects you to your old language. You always have to "fly" from your brain, to your native tongue ... and then translate what you've memorized to communicate.
That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You're going to make a lot of "connecting flights." That's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail.
Enter Dynamic Immersion.
This method encourages you to think like a baby. You'll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create.
Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you're speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident.
Communicate and connect with the world: Level 1, 2 & 3 Set.
Rosetta Stone Level 1, 2 & 3 Set will take you on a journey from the basics to a whole new level of sophistication.

Farsi 1,2,3,
By Julie Bresciani (Michigan) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V3: Persian (Farsi) Level 1-3 Set with Audio Companion [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I purchased this Farsi 1,2,3 and it is awesome! I also use easypersian (free), flashcardexchange (inexpensive),World Languages, TravelTalk, several Farsi dictionaries, Pimsleurs Persian, and watch a lot of Farsi movies from irmovies (look for the ones with English subtitles, it helps a lot!)! The combination really works! What words and phrases I learn in one mode of learning only enhanses the over all language absorption obtained while using Rosetta Stone's marvelous software! I would definately advise anyone learning Farsi to buy this and seek out immersion from other avenues!

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V3: Persian (Farsi) Level 1-3 Set with Audio Companion [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I was skeptical about learning a language using computer software, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product. This is not a simple flashcard program, which is what a lot of other language-learning products are. The authors have clearly studied second language pedagogy, and they've crafted their lessons very thoughtfully. I took a semester of Farsi, but I've had a better experience with this software; indeed, when you think about the cost, compare the price of a level with a semester's tuition, rather than with alternative software products. Short of sitting down with a native speaker as a private tutor, this product is your best bet.

Expensive but well worth it,
By JGM (ODB, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rosetta Stone V3: Persian (Farsi) Level 1-3 Set with Audio Companion [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I am a tight wad at times and not good at languages so it was difficult for me to part with so much money for a product that for me, may not be successful. I haven't owned it long enough to know if I will reach fluency but based on my experiences with language software and language courses, a person will be hard pressed to find a better at home product. Yes, if you can immerse yourself into the language fully by travelling overseas or some special camp then you will have better results. But for a person studying at home, this software is top notch. The caveat being that the software will take you a certain distance but in the end, a person has to find someone to talk with in the desired language.
