Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: A piece of junk, terrible customer service Comment: The software did not work properly, Rosetta stone reps were less than helpful, plus it took for ever to get them on the phone Customer Rating: Summary: Rosetta rocks Comment: This software is great: The interactive interface is engaging and not tiring, the format moves quickly to applicable material, and the varying techniques utilized encourage real learning. My only complaints are: Only formal speech it taught and immersion means translations are not provided. Would reccomend it. Customer Rating: Summary: The best way to learn a language. Comment: The only better way to learn a language is total immersion. But since this requires growing up with the language, or spending two or three months hearing and speaking nothing but the target language,it is not a practical solution for most of us. Rosetta stone is the next best thing. You learn the language in the same manner of a child growing up in it, or by total immersion only without the need to survive as an added incentive. With Rosetta Stone, you go as fast as you are able. For the first time learning another language is actually fun for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Undisclosed Installation Limitiation - Requires CD to Play Comment: This software requires the CD-ROM to always be present to play. This does not work on my laptop when the CD-ROM drive is removed.
This limitation was not listed anywhere that I found and was not apparent until after installation.
The learning process was exactly the same a the Web version, except there is no tracking of progress or test results in this version. Customer Rating: Summary: Quite Helpful Comment: I've used these for other languages and did know hanguel, the Korean writing system, so I didn't encounter the problems others did. I'm a rather intuitive learner and prefer this to sitting in a class waiting for others to catch on. Here I can go at my own pace.
It's important to start with the guided exercises and then do the tests or other activities. That way you get better hints on what the answer is. You do that till you feel you've mastered something, and then move on. You are able to choose the order and time you spend on something and can hear a lot of Korean.
