Product Description

Amazon.com

Rosetta Stone Personal Edition contains everything you need to give the voice inside of you a new language. The method used recreates the natural way you learned your first language, revealing skills that you already have. This approach has won numerous awards, and has been adopted by countless organizations, schools and millions of users around the world. Join the language revolution today. Only with Rosetta Stone.

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. You'll build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. You'll quickly gain the confidence to engage in social interactions. Say "hello" and "goodbye," arrange travel, order food, go shopping and more! From there, you'll share your ideas and opinions, express feelings and talk about your life, your interests and more. You'll discover a voice. In a new language.

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 Levels 1, 2 & 3 (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 People need to be open minded. Try it. It 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.

Come on guys. No tech support? Confusing manuals? Review the software and whether you learned. This is awesome language learning software and if you are patient for the first thirty minutes of the first core lesson and trudge through, the next lessons completely help you understand every facet of the language. I guarantee you will learn something after your first 40 minutes. Ten minutes after my first core lesson, I learned several verbs and other vocab. Then every short lesson after that just enhanced the other areas of language learning. This software is well worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing learning tool, but supplement with other aids, April 4, 2009
By S. Moore ":P" (East side of the Western World) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really love the Rosetta Stone Arabic program and I do disagree with some of the other reviews here. Arabic is a hard language to learn and Rosetta Stone Arabic is an excellent resource for hearing Formal Arabic outside of the classroom. I have been learning Arabic and using a dialect for day yo day life for a bit under a year now and I find Rosetta Stone gives useful vocabulary, insights on grammar and a great amount of interaction with the language.
That said, don't think that spending any amount of time with the software will teach you this complex language-- people who don't know a dialect will want to pick up something like Pimsleur or Michel Thomas or a simple phrase book with an audio cd so that you can get around for simple things and just have one or two things you can actually say. Buy a script book like Teach Yourself Arabic Script or Alif Baa, because Rosetta Stone uses only Arabic script and does a fairly spotty job of "teaching" the script. Finally, and most importantly, buy a book that will teach you how to make grammatical constructions! I've been working through Brustad's Al-Kitaab and the process is slow, frustrating and all of that, but using Rosetta Stone is an excellent component to a much larger language learning curriculum.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, August 19, 2009
I've taken numerous language classes at various levels (middle school, high school, college), and have taken classes is 4 different languages, so I consider myself someone who knows HOW to learn a language. I needed to learn Arabic, so I decided to give Rosetta Stone a try, and I was actually quite disappointed. Not only do they not teach you the alphabet (do this on your own before starting lessons), but they also neglect to display clear pictures to illustrate the word you're learning (e.g. there was a photo of a duck, and a word to go with it, and I wasn't sure if the word meant "duck" or "animal." Only later did I learn the meaning of the word.) Grammatical points are also not always clear, and I often felt that while I could use the words I had learned while operating the Rosetta Stone program, I was not able to remember words, phrases, or meanings when I was not using the software. I would very highly suggest purchasing a grammar book (such as Alif Baa and Al-Kitaab) as well as a dictionary if you're serious about learning this language. I don't think Rosetta Stone is nearly enough to produce the results it claims, though it is a good place to start learning words.
