 Great Product August 27, 2008

I really love this product, but I didn't realize that the headset came included in the box and I bought a headset separate. So, if you are wanting to purchase this product don't worry about buying a headset unless you need an extra one.

Have enjoyed it and would buy it again.
Disappointed that it can be registered to only one account. At 500.00 I feel I should be able to put it on my laptop AND my wife's with no restrictions.

OK, first off I need to admit that I am a native New Mexican and have been around Spanish speaking folks most of my life. That probably gives me a bit of an advantage in attempting to learn the language. Another advantage is Rosetta Stone's Version 3 language system. The installation was simple and the program works great. You learn Spanish the same way you learned English: you learn to say what you see. It's fun and kind of addicting. And best of all, you can start speaking the language right away and little by little gain a confident and comprehensive grasp of Spanish. Highly recommended! Enjoy!!
A Different Way to Learn Language August 21, 2008

I opted to study French when I was in grade school, but I have always been interested in learning the Spanish language. This set is very well thought out and comes with everything you need, except for the computer of course. '-) It also gets an extra star because it it Mac OS X compatible!
I've been using this for a few weeks and although I am not yet a fluent Spanish speaker yet, I think that the Rosetta Stone's techniques, along with a good deal of practice, can have a committed person learning the language in a very short time.
So slap on the included headset (it allows the program to evaluate your pronunciation), and Aprenderemos hablar espanol!
Easy to Install and Comprehensive August 21, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First things first - I was able to easily install the software following the directions provided. This is somewhat significant in that my DH is a technical person and I've done very little of this on my own. Of note is that 600 mb is needed for each of the Language Levels. I did struggle and had to ask for help installing the headset/microphone, but the techie had little difficulty and I'll admit I surrendered to offered help too quickly and believe I may have been able to do that on my own as well. I write this only for those of you who may be intimidated by programs and are hesitant to buy something for fear you won't be able to figure out how to install and use it.
I'll confess I haven't gotten very far at all with the program and can't tell you that I feel confident I'll be understanding written and spoken Spanish and speaking it fluently any time soon - but I do have hope that this program is what help me improve beyond my current very minimal level. Incidentally, you have the option of modifying your lessons so that you can choose to learn speaking only, speaking and listening, speaking, reading and listening, etc., although they recommend selecting it all. I was tempted to select speaking only, but decided if I was going to do this, I may as well do it thoroughly. Finding the time is going to be the biggest challenge, but I have been heartened by the relatively short - 30 minutes - time for each lesson I've encountered so far in Level 1.
I find the immersion concept of teaching to be an interesting one and am hopeful their methods will be effective. I especially like the use of images as I think that serves as visual reinforcement and greatly assists in remembering. I'll update my review as I make progress with the program and see how well I'm absorbing and retaining what I'm taught. So far, I've been impressed with everything I've encountered. I was very concerned that I may not follow through with the program, but I have found it to be an appealing way to try to learn something new in a new way at an age when my learning skills are rusty.
