Unable to download to my computer. The CD's were in the wrong slots. The application CD would not give me any prompts. It said Adobe Reader would not work although it does for other things. I went to U-tube to try to find out how to install and cannot understand anything there. I am totally pissed off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good program concept but a couple of problems
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011
Having owned version 2 of Rosetta Stone Vietnamese, I was excited to try Rosetta Stone's new Version 4 TOTALe program. Since they offered a trial or demo disk, I ordered a disk and tried it. It seemed good and I liked all the improvements over version 2. So I decided to buy the the program. To Rosetta Stone's credit, this version is a giant step forward in interaction and variation of teaching methods to keep the Vietnamese student involved and interested. The package includes a headphone & microphone set so you can speak the words you hear, and the computer will let you know if you're pronouncing the words and phrases correctly. In fact, you can set the program's tolerance level of your pronounciation. This new version also allows you to type in the words and phrases your hear, thereby helping you to learn how to spell the new language you are speaking.

Unfortunately, in spite of all these new improvements, there were two problems (serious problems in my evaluation) that made me return the program for a refund. The first problem was pronounciation. Vietnamese is a tonal language; in fact, it has 6 different tones. Also, there is a significant difference between the North Vietnamese dialect and the South Vietnamese dialect. This program proportedly teaches the northern dialect, but the pronounciation is not correct. In version 2, the pronounciation was textbook perfect; each tone was distinct and precise. In version 4, they've gotten sloppy. Specifically the high-rising tone used in some words (like con cho' [= dog], con ga'i [= girl], etc.) is pronounced with a falling, rising tone (like pha?i [= yes] or ho?i [= question]. My wife, who is Vietnamese, confirmed these mispronounciations.

The other problem is the method used to type in Vietnamese words. When Vietnamese people type proper Vietnamese with tone marks, they usually use one of two methods: VIQR and VNI. (Look up these methods on the internet.) But, Rosetta Stone doesn't use either of these common methods; instead have come up with their own method. Unfortunately, it is very cumbersome and painfully slow.

So, because of these 2 serious problems, I can't fully reccommend this program. There are many other programs available that teach Vietnamese. One I CAN recommend is called "A Little Vietnamese" by Griesser Software. This program is unique in that it teaches both North and South Vietnamese dialects and the differences between them. Unfortunately, it does not work on Macintosh computers, unless you have a Windows-simulator program (like Virtual PC or Parallels). Rosetta Stone V4 will work on both Mac and Windows machines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not perfect

I'm about halfway through the program and I must say, Rosetta Stone is making the task of learning Vietnamese much more enjoyable and less daunting then I originally expected. However, there are 2 problems that have come to my attention early on which made me want to review this before completing the course. First, since the program is a full emersion program, while I am picking up on words and associations, I often find myself not understanding the entire phrase of what is being said. I wish there was an option to show the statements in English to just confirm what I thought was just shown to me.

The other problem, however, I find worse. The microphone that comes with the program is terrible. First off, unless I'm doing something wrong the headset speakers doesn't work. All my sound came out of my computer speakers. Even more frustrating is that the mic rarely picks up what I am saying. I find myself saying phrases and words several times before the program acknowledges it. Then, it often doesn't register exactly what I said. I know Vietnamese is a tonal language, but I say the same thing without changing the pronunciation multiple times before the program says I'm correct. If I was pronouncing it wrong, then it should never say I did it correctly. If you're getting this program and your computer doesn't have a built in mic, I'd recommend buying one outside what comes in the box.

In all, the program is great and I'm already starting to feel confident speaking to my girlfriend's family (who are Vietnamese) but I am not completely confident to carry entire conversations. Hopefully as I continue things will change.
