Rosetta Stone V3 French Level 1 with Audio Companion OLD VERSION

great product Read more

My research led me to select the Rosetta Stone dynamic immersion language learning process, and purchasing the French, Version 3, Level I software through Amazon was a positive experience. The price was very competitive, and the fulfillment service provided by the vendor was seamless. The software allows me to see, hear and comprehend the fundamentals of the French language, and although I am in the early phase of the learning process, I am already beginning to form the basis for speaking the language.

I junked my old computer and bought a new one. I tried to reinstall Rosetta Stone. It required the serial number from the original box which I no longer had. I e-mailed and called Rossetta Stone and asked for help. When I finally got through they said, no. No, that's your problem. Read more

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ROSETTA STONE EMPLOYEES, THAT THEY ARE PAID TO POST POSITIVE COMMENTS ON-LINE. THIS IS VERY DISSAPOINTING. Read more

This is my first language software that I have ever used, so I don't have any other product to compare it to. But I am almost done with Level 1 and I actually really enjoyed using it since it is very interactive and the learning method they use (correlating images to words etc) seems to be working for me. The only thing that i am slightly disappointed is that I only purchased Level 1 and decided to purchase Level2 and 3, but if you notice they don't offer this combination (Marketing scheme???). So I emailed their Sales rep through their website and asked if they offer any discount for level2 and 3 combined. Even though I received a confirmation email, however after a week I haven't heard anything back from them (I even sent them another follow up email a few days ago). So even though I think the product is almost worth the price, but I really don't like the fact that they don't sell/market Level 2 and 3 combined (It should make sense that a lot of people would rather purchase level 1 individually and if they are satisfied with it then they will buy Level2 and 3). But why they don't offer that combination doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps if I don't hear back from them soon I will go with another software. Read more

Being 63, I expected to have lots of difficulty learning a new language. Not so with the total immersion method of Rosetta Stone. I'm half way through the first level and have learned much faster than I did as a young student being subjected to the endless vocabulary lists and grammar exercises. This method is truly intuitive and much easier, at least for me. I listen to the Audio Companion just before going to sleep at night. Great reinforcement. Technically, the product is extremely interactive and easy to use, flexible and adaptive to individual needs. I was hesitant to spend so much, but I am thrilled with my decision. Read more

We bought this before moving the whole family (3 teenagers and a dog) to Paris. It has been great for each of us to have our own log-in and I can check on the kid's progress since it is mastery-based learning. The kid's teachers here were amazed that they hadn't been studying in school for a year or more - even after only completing Level 1 with Rosetta Stone! The voice recognition really helps develop a good accent. We got the version that didn't have the audio companion, so I can't comment on that. Two thumbs up for Rosetta Stone! Read more

My French is in between levels, so this is a bit tricky. Some too easy, some advanced, but overall, I'd recommend it. I use it with my 2-year-old. Fun. Read more
