Well honestly. I use the Rosetta Stone for Spanish it's really like an overview for people who already kinda know the language. I really personnally don't like it. It teaches spain spanish but so did my teacher and so did most of my family. it's a good thing to have if you have a lot of time too. cause well you can do a study, then a practice quiz, then a quiz. and then after all the tests you get a final score per unit completed. Which the units are like 10 to 11 lessons each and there are like 19 to 20 units. so count that up and then well. i've not been seeing the other forms i've been seeing third person singular and third person plural. which Thank God I already know spanish cause i wouldn't know what i was doin. then again. i've kinda just been going through each quiz. i've really haven't had tolerance to go through the actual practice although I did glance at it. I didn't see other forms. i'm especially disappointed at the spain spanish cause I honestly wanted to perfect the "vos" form. But i'm gonna just have to talk to friends. over all. if you have the time it's good, if not just take classes or learn from a friend.

Might I post?
My brother found a guy on craigslist who was selling ALL of the Rosetta Stone languages for $45 dollars.
It was really shady, back alley kind of shady, I mean.
He tried it out on is computer before he bought it... and it works wonderful!
It has all of the languages on it, and it's really helpful.
I'm trying to take up my Spanish again, so it's been helpful. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners though. It's not that thorough with the rules and basics. It just gives you some sentences to memorize, and you match them to pictures. Well, at least that's what I've experienced... D=

I heard quite a bit about Rosetta Stone and I like to check it out myself (going to see if I can get a free demo). I've been studying Japanese for awhile now (took Japanese 101 and 102) but since classes are over, I'm starting to get a bit lazy when it comes to practicing Japanese and want to keep studying.
Since I know some of the basics and have other references (books,tapes, dictionaries, CD-Roms, ect), Rosetta Stone might work out OK for me (though it does seem a bit pricey).
I'm hoping to improve my listening comprehension and speaking (those are my weak points).

I am learning Welsh through Rosetta Stone and going strong. I believe it's worth it. It's much more motivationg and has better results than independent book study. Classrooms can be noisy and have homework. Rosetta Stone is independent.
I've also used it to review my Italian and keep from forgetting it since I no longer get to use my second language.
