Rosetta Stone Spanish Review

The Rosetta Stone Spanish language set has been around for many years helping people become more comfortable speaking the language. Rosetta Stone has been able to do this by combining both audio and written plans to help the reader get used to living, breathing and thinking Spanish. With the language tools offered by Rosetta Stone, you will be able to start speaking Spanish right from the get go.

Pros

• Innovative Learning Strategies. Rosetta Stone uses something called “Dynamic Immersion” which is a method that mimics how babies learn their first language. This method helps make the connection between your daily activities and the new language.
• Innovative Technology. Rosetta Stone uses books, CD ROM software and audio to help you get the most from your lessons. The software is simple and intuitive, making it possible for everyone to feel comfortable navigating the lessons.
• Speech Recognition. The Rosetta Stone kit comes with a headset microphone to encourage you to speak the language from day one. The advanced speech recognition software makes sure you are pronouncing the words correctly before you move onto the next step.
• Audio Companion. The audio companion is a perfect addition to the book and software. With this CD you can turn travel time into learning time, by listening to the CD on your way to work, on vacation or just sitting around at home.

Cons

Most people who use Rosetta Stone for their language course seem to find it really helpful. One of the only cons regarding this program is the cost. Just for the very first course, you can expect to pay around $229. Alternatively, if you decide to get the first three courses together as a package, you will have to pay up to $539. This cost is quite expensive, making it difficult for a lot of people to afford the program.

Special Offers

Right now if you purchase the set that combines the first three levels, you can save $288. This is how much more it would cost if you were to purchase each level separately. You can also purchase the complete set (levels 1 – 5) for $699 which gives you total savings of $726.

Guarantee

With any Rosetta Stone language program, you get a six month no-risk, money-back guarantee when you buy the CD-ROM products direct from Rosetta Stone.

Conclusion

The Rosetta Stone Spanish language course is very popular due to its innovative technology and learning techniques. Most people who have used the program love it, and have been able to effectively learn the language by using all the tools the program has to offer. The only real downfall of Rosetta Stone is the huge cost. You could enroll in a community college course for around the same price.
