Product Description

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.

Discover the building blocks of a new language: Level 1.
Your journey begins with a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and language structure that you'll need to begin to think, live and breathe in your new language. Rosetta Stone's solution will give you the confidence to master basic conversational skills. You'll be able to introduce yourself, say "Hello" and "Goodbye," ask and answer simple questions, go shopping and so much more.

Audio Companion
With Audio Companion, you'll enhance the Rosetta Stone experience wherever you go. You'll learn new skills on the computer, and then reinforce what you've learned with Audio Companion. Simply play the CDs on a stereo or download them to a MP3 Player. Each Audio Companion activity corresponds to a lesson in the Rosetta Stone software, so you can turn your travel time into productive language-learning time.

Inside the box, you'll find:

  • Version 3 Personal Edition CD-ROM software for Level 1 (Windows/Mac)
  • Headset microphone
  • User's guide
  • Audio Companion, a multiple-CD set to play or download to your MP3 player

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price for someone interested, January 4, 2009
By Aeries (Virginia) - See all my reviews
I normally don't bother reviewing the products I use, but I felt that the only other review on this item was overly harsh and a poor reflection of the quality of the product. This was my first Rosetta Stone product, and I haven't even had it a full week, but I am excited with what I've learned so far, and eager to learn more.

At first, the lesson was somewhat frustrating since it throws you into a completely new language with an unfamiliar alphabet. The first time through unit 1, lesson 1, part 1, I mostly guessed and felt somewhat overwhelmed. I figured that if the entire program was set up with each lesson being just as hard, I wouldn't learn anything. But I was wrong. I went through the first part of the first lesson twice, picking up some patterns the second time through. Then I moved on to the second part and discovered that the following parts in the lesson better explain the first part, and help with pronunciation and character recognition.

Since then I have worked through the sections diligently. Yes, it can be frustrating at times. The native speakers don't all have the same dialect, so pronunciation of words sometimes varies. Also, it seems that sometimes I can't seem to say a word right, though I feel like I am. While irritating, I've found that if I take a break and come back to it, I can usually get by ok. And then I'll go back and do it the next day. While no where close to any sort of fluency, or really much of an ability to hold a conversation, I can see that if I continue to work through it I will be able to in a relatively short period of time.

As far as the price goes, certainly it is pricey, but I think it is a worthwhile investment for anyone who truly wants to learn a new language. Sure, over $200 is steep, but consider the cost and hassle of taking a new language as a class or through a private tutor. Short of someone you know, you'd probably spend well over $200, and for a class, you would have to schedule around a time to take the class, whereas with RS, you get the convenience to go at your own pace in your own free time.

In the end, I think Rosetta Stone is very much worth the investment, and I expect I will use it to learn the other languages that interest me, as well as all levels of Arabic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to "language teachers", This works!, April 3, 2009
By TM "Y" (SoCal) - See all my reviews
I took a chance on this software because I had read the bad reviews on amazon. I needed to learn Arabic for my minor and I wanted a head start. Take it from an 19 year old guy who hates learning languages: This software works! I just have level 1 right now, and after only one core lesson and it's follow up lessons (roughly an hours time) I can now identify several verbs, their female/male counterparts, nouns, individual letters, and a lot more to come. This makes learning a language seem obsolete. With Rosetta Stone, you understand the language. You don't need to memorize anything because you begin to associate words, sounds, and letters together with pictures and native speakers to reach a level of comprehension that seems impossible through normal studying. I hate learning languages and this was actually fun. It allows you to work at your own pace and do things as many times as you want until you get it right. Language teachers probably can't learn it because they are too busy with their own methods to be open minded to this software. If you want to learn Arabic, or any other language for that matter, GET ROSETTA STONE! It's made a believer out of a cynic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning a Language, February 8, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this for my husband who is going to Iraq for a year. It's been a very long time since he was in school, so learning a new language was somewhat intimidating. He's learning from and thoroughly enjoying the Rosetta Stone, Arabic.
