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.
Discover the building blocks and begin your exploration: Levels 1 & 2.

Not catching,
By Ruffian (New York City, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V3: Russian Level 1-2 Set with Audio Companion [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I tried this, I have one big issue with the teaching method, or lack there of:
When it starts, it speaks the words to you, for you to repeat, but it shows the words in Russian lettering. As you progress through this first stage, they expect you to know how to say the word they show. The Russian alphabet may as well be an alien alphabet to me. There's no way I could memorize how each word and foreign lettering was supposed to be pronounced. It was like trying to memorize a picture or pattern, and not actually reading it. I wish they had taught what sound was for each letter or letter combination. It just felt like taking a shot in the dark with each word and not really understanding anything. I learned 3 words out of 20 in that first phase. It did not keep my interest or faith in it's abilities to actually teach. On a funny note: My boyfriend is from Russia. He tried to do the lesson with me and on the parts where we had to speak the word to the computer, it continuously marked him as incorrect but would accept my chopped up attempts.

Go for the real thing,

This review is from: Rosetta Stone V3: Russian Level 1-2 Set with Audio Companion [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Ok i admit i tried everything else first. Pimsleur, books, other CD's . I even tried pirated Rosetta software - first as a gift and then by accident as i thought it was the real thing. Just forget all that, get the real Rosetta stone software. They have wonderful support services. When it had some trouble with installation they solved it right away, and when the headphones did not work on one side they immediately replaced them. It is a great way to learn and i think it is fun. I find my mind keeps working on that Russian language as i sleep or go about my business.
