Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before.

We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase. Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated systematically, leading to everyday proficiency.

The Rosetta Stone Level I program offers a comprehensive course of study for beginning learners, leading to intermediate proficiency. The program contains over 3,500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons and more than 250 hours of mastery instruction in listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. There are reviews, exercises, and tests for every lesson with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)



Product Description

Rosetta Stone teaches Portuguese (Brazil) through a step-by-step sequence of carefully structured lessons, called Dynamic Immersion. New words become associated with familiar objects, actions, and ideas. Words build to phrases and sentences in a systematic progression.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST, February 8, 2003
By L. B. Godin "lgodin5" (Cleveland, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've taken many language courses, mostly in Spanish and French. I used to quit once it got hard simply because I was bogged down with grammar. The Rosetta Stone for Portuguese Level I(I also bought Level 2), in this case, Brazilian Portuguese, is completely different than any language course I've tried in that YOU choose how and when you learn. The pictures are colorful.You have two men and a woman voice for variety. You get to choose between listening, reading, writing, speaking. The only thing that didn't work for me was the recording of my voice for comparison because the microphone I had wasn't compatable, but in the record mode, you can still play back the speakers either in slow or normal conversational speed and 'see' how the words 'sound'. Fairly good with languages anyway, my accent is gradually going 'native'so I don't need to record myself. Through trial and error I've discovered the 'listening' mode works best. That way when the next picture comes up I can think its description in Portugese rather than be dependent on reading the Portuguese decription.I adore the fast tutorial. You can test yourself. You're given a book that you can read your lessons if you don't feel like putting in the CD. The CD works without a glitch. The best thing about this course is that you CAN'T get bored even with the repetition because you decide how you want to do things. The clever thing about the colorful box is that the front opens up like a book which describes the course features. The Rosetta Stone IS the BEST for language instruction if classes and cassette tapes don't work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! I couldn't hope for better., November 7, 2006
By Dora Miller (Talkeetna, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was a Brazilian mother with a hard time teaching Portuguese to my son. This program is unbelievable. Has a great system and methodology, interactive and very fair. The lessons are in a very simple pace, giving all the basics, without the need to name the grammar. My son is becoming a Portuguese speaker without noticing.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good way to learn Portuguese, June 22, 2008
You can't do better than Rosetta Stone. I am pretty picky about these things, and I was impressed with RS. I picked up a good amount of Portuguese for my trip to Brazil.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should have real Portuguese
Disappointed I could not get real Portuguese as opposed to Brazilian. Shipping also took way too long. Over a week.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for understanding, but not speaking.
I'll start by saying that I am a die-hard fan of the Pimsleur Language system, so take this review with a grain of salt, if you'd like. Read more
