1) I haven't but I hear it is a good tool. The best is going somewhere and trying to submerse in the language.

2) I'm pretty sure using Rosetta Stone is a much better way to learn then the way I tried to pick up Spanish--by falling asleep watching Telemundo and hoping I would learn it subliminally!

I'm interested to hear what you think about it and how much you learn. I studied French in high school and college and have forgotten so much...I'd love to take a refresher course but just don't have the time. Rosetta Stone could be the answer!

3) We got the demo for Spainish but Richard said he couldn't follow it. I really do hope it works for you-let us know what you think.

4) I've heard really good things from our foreign language teachers about it. They say it's a good way for adults to learn a foreign language.

5) I tried it once from a copy gotten at the library. I think that copy was a really old version and maybe one that was English for Spanish speaking people. I had problems with it loading properly and the lessons seemed more that I know the Spanish and was learning the English than the other way around. It was a little confusing and disappointing but I really think it was a very old version that struggled with newer OS and people who were used to newer and faster and more "recent" in appearance and in action. I have a friend in CA who is waiting for the Gaelic version. They told him they would put one out after they got through all the more popular language needs. :)

6) Like Jules, I am trying to brush up my very rusty french. Please let us know if you like the Rosetta Stone!

7) That is a great idea. I''d like to learn some Spanish myself so lemme know how they do for you.

8) Just did the first lesson- wow. This program is well done. It was fun, and I felt like I got exposed to a lot of vocabulary in just 30 minutes (the first lesson). Very intuitive.

If I were in high school or college taking a language, I would just do Rosetta Stone primarily... I'm very impressed.

I don't know if I'll be able to do a lesson a day (probably not), but will try to do at least a few a week.

At the mall today, I saw a huge Rosetta Stone kiosk looping the Michael Phelps promo over and over again.

The only downside I see of Rosetta Stone is that it is quite expensive- over $200 for each level of lessons (3 total). You can save some money if you buy them as a package, but I wanted to make sure I was committed before getting the whole thing. Thankfully for me, this is a business expense. If it gets the job done, though, it is obviously worth every penny.

El escribe!

9) Still loving Rosetta Stone. Just finished Unit 1 of 4 units, and it's really remarkable how fast you can learn this stuff on your own vs. classroom setting.
