I wanted to buy this program to learn French the easy way. But thanks to your customer reviews, I think I better stick to my $ 10 Berlitz book.

Though I have had courses in the French language over my lifetime, I find that this one tends to be an easier way to learning the language. To a new learner, pictures of items and rote learning helps immensely. To someone who does know the languge, it is a very good refresher and aids in remembering the way the language is constructed. This is rote learning, plain and simple. Repeat things over that you get wrong until you get them right.
However, without a dictionary or a text, the construction of sentences , verb forms, etc can be confusing to a beginner. It is memorize how it is written or said but without a reason for its being written or said in that manner.
In fairness, I have not completely used the total level 1 & 2. There may be an explanation or raison d'etre for how thw languge is presented in the Rosetta Stone series. Unfortunately, I have not come in on the ground floor for this language, so my thoughts may be biased.
well done December 28, 2007

I bought the french version for my girlfriend this christmas. Some friends had recommended Rosetta Stone and it is indeed great. Very fun to use, and it seems to be working though my girlfriend only went through the first part of the first lesson so far. You need to be able to at least set aside 1 hour of uninterrupted time to really follow the chunks of the lessons.
I will try to update the review in a few months, once we use it more.

Two months ago, I bought V3 French Level 1&2 following positive experiences with V2 German and V2 Italian. Thus far, my wife has been the primary user and is enjoying it very much.
My problem is with the license restrictions. With V2, we could each install the basic application on our own computers and then exchange the CDROM that has the actual language content. With V3, you no longer need the language CDROM to run the application, but the license is for one computer only. Supposedly you can never move it back after transferring it to a different computer.
To use V3, I will need to borrow my wife's computer. She will become annoyed when she wants to check her email or browse the web. We can't travel with Rosetta Stone on a laptop if we have it installed on a desktop. If Rosetta Stone is so distrustful of its customers, please just give us a hardware dongle to prevent multiple simultaneous users.
