Rosetta Stone Spanish Review:
Rosetta Stone's unique approach to learning Spanish is designed to teach you Spanish, with faster results and a better understanding and mastery of the Spanish language. That's the companies claim and after using the software we would have to agree.
The Rosetta Stone software works by teaching you Spanish the way you learned your own native language, without translation or memorization. This is a different approach then most courses take and it’s what we liked most about this software. This course is a little expensive when compared to other courses but it's worth the extra cash if your serious about learning to speak Spanish.
Native speakers, real-life images, speech recognition and fully interactive software teach you like you learned your first language--naturally. The Rosetta Stone Spanish Level 1 and 2 (Latin America) set combines the content found in Level 1 and Level 2 to take you from no knowledge of the language to advanced proficiency--in one easy purchase.
One of the really cool things about Rosetta Stone is that the software offers immediate reinforcement. The second you complete a task, the software provides instant feedback. Speak a word and Rosetta's unique voiceprint technology automatically rates your pronunciation. Connect an image with a phrase and you'll immediately learn if your choice was correct. Once you complete a set of exercises you'll instantly know how well you did. No other Spanish courses we have looked at offer this type of feedback to the student.
Rosetta Stone also employs a systematic sequence that gradually incorporates new words, phrases, and more complex grammar as it reinforces existing learning. As a result, your understanding of the Spanish language should grow more naturally.
