Can anyone tell me what verb tenses and grammar are taught on each level of spanish rosetta stone latin america? I’ve already learned present, past, future, imperfect, reflexive, and i’ve learned direct/indirect objects (i’ve taken 2 years of spanish in hs). What level of rosetta stone should start on? 1, 2, 3?
start on level 1 or 2, even if you have heard/learned the stuff before, never hurts to be reminded, repetition is the best teacher! =)
I have a little bit of a Spanish background in me and I already now very basic Spanish like how to introduce myself and talk about where I’m from, my family and my job, I was wondering if I buy Rosetta Stone Spanish levels 1-3 how quickly will I become strong in the language??
Nope its a frud
Rosetta Stone is probably the most pirated software out there. any good bit torrent sharing site should have a cracked version. you might try thepiratebay.org
Basically what the question asks. Have you ever used the computer based language software Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish or another Latin based language like French, Italian, or Portuguese? How long did you use it, did you complete all or most of the lessons/levels, and did it work for you?
If you’ve used it for another language like German or Dutch feel free to answer but I’m planning on using it for Spanish or one of the other major Romance languages.
I haven’t personally used but I’ve read it only teaches how to get by. They’ve also said it’s not worth your money .
i need to know what stores they are most commonly found in.
thanks.
I tried Rosetta Stone for Spanish. It does not have any translation, grammar or conjugation instructions though so it will be very hard to go beyond the basics with it. There is no way to be fluent with it. Their program is based on the same thing where you see these 4 pictures over and over again. I was disappointed especially for the price I paid.
My college uses a software called TeLL me More, by Auralog. It covers not only the basics, but also intermediate or advanced level. It is also a lot less repetitive. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,…, includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can check out their website at http://www.auralog.com for a free demo and compare too. You can check out independent reviews on the web too http://www.toptenreviews.com or about.com websites.
The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much
I don’t have the box or anything. Just the CDs
It depends.
If you have v1,2,3 then I would say about 300USD.
Per v. I would sell about 110USD.

I want to clep a college spanish class and was wondering if rosetta stone would prepare me for the test. Will it teach me all the rules of grammar, sentence structure, or anyhting else I might need. Would it be better to simply buy a textbook?
don’t count onit… rosetta stone is to learn a language in a specific sequence.
I found it somewhat helpful, but you’re better off fiding a spanish/english dictionary
I’d like to stay away from buy online if I can. Are there any stores that sell it? (Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Barns and Noble, etc…)

I shouldn’t have said ‘alternative’. Besides a completely different product, which I would still like to know about, is there a place or site I can find Rosetta Stone at a cheaper price?
This site reviews the top spanish software programs out there..
http://learn-spanish-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Also Visual Link spanish offers weekly newsletters with tips, vocabulary, and online lessons- their course is much cheaper than Rossetta Stone

I am thinking about investing in this expensive venture but I would like to know if its the easier one out of most of the languages. could someone who has learned it or in the process of learning it give me a little more information than the website? thanks
I personally didnt like Rosetta’s online stuff…maybe it was the time in my life or something because i have heard good things from them. I attempted to learn Italian 2 years after trying Rosetta and used Unforgettable Languages.
Here is their Free Spanish Demo and more information link…I’m pretty sure they are cheaper too and they have a great memorization tactic that worked perfectly for me…Good Luck
