We just opened this product this month and it did not operate on any systems we have (and we have a lot!). Would like a refund or replacement if possible.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rosetta Stone versus Pimsleur
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2012

So, I'm a really visual learner. Therefore Rosetta Stone (visual-based) should be much easier to use and learn with than Pimsleur (audio-based), right?? We are going to France and I wanted to learn French before the trip. I bought this produce as well as a new copy of Pimsleur French Unlimited level 1.

Rosetta Stone:
1. Easy to install
2. Lots of different "types" of lessons (reading, writing, speaking, grammar,etc.)
3. The ability to see the words and memorize the visuals.
BUT also
4. I hate the little "correct!" sound that it uses. You can't turn it off. It's terribly annoying.
5. My pronunciation is not very good because I can see the word and keep trying to pronounce it like it is spelled.
6. When I speak into the microphone, the program hates my effort and keeps failing me
7. All worked well until I hit Lesson #4. At that point, the pictures because vague and I wasn't quite sure what I was saying or why. I started worrying about verbs and rather than understanding grammar, just started memorizing things without understanding.
8. Oh my, the "correct!" sound became an aversion stimulus by this time.

Pimsleur:
1. Easy to install
2. Two types of lessons (listening and reading)
3. Because I'm not a good Audio-learner, I had to redo the lessons, sometimes 5 or 6 times
BUT also
4. My pronunciation got a LOT better because I was listening to the speakers and not looking at the words
5. I picked up enough of the grammar to understand what I was saying and recombine words and phrases rather than just mimicking them
6. This program doesn't attempt to "reward" you with that awful dinging sound

Bottom line? I made it through Pimsleur French 1 (30 lessons) and am buying French 2. I have found it much easier to use (DESPITE being a visual learner). I quit at lesson #4 in Rosetta Stone. I do not want to go back to Rosetta Stone unless they can:

1. Speed up the testing process. (A more rapid click and on to the next question)
2. Eliminate the sound they use to indicate a correct response.

I'd recommend at least trying Pimsleur first - even if you are a visual learner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite sure it hits the target

I have not used this product personally. My 15 year old daughter has used it. She complains the repeat back function only works if you are using it with no other interference in the room. It picks up on the noises in the background - television, someone talking, etc. She also said it was difficult to use to help her with her high school course since they are going at the language from different points.

Using with my Grade 1 and 3 children .... (and I'm doing it alongside them). 'lessons' vary in length from 5 minutes to 30 minutes and I do find that the words 'stick' better through this immersion technique rather than translating. Children can use the programme with ease (although please don't mistake that as it being easy, definitely pushes them to think!) ... they can keep on trying the lessons until they grasp it .. so far they've been getting 100% before moving on to the next lesson, I'm not that much of a perfectionist so they are definitely 'beating' me in the scoring!! Covers reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar .... well rounded.

Rosetta stone is crap! We have had horrible technical issues with this program and also the French 1 - we spent more time trying to use the program then actually using the program - they out source all their help from outside US - guy on phone just told me that I would have to pay $19.95 to get technical assistance over the phone - free on web site chat which is taking over an hour and no results! Save yourself a lot of stress and choose another program!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2013
Beware: the shift key doesn't work on the Mac. This substantially reduces the value of the program if you use Macintosh.
