Summary: Rosetta Stone sucks!
Comment: Received product and proceeded through chapter 1. It would not go to chapter 2 because it said I needed the password. I entered the password and it still would not let me into chapter 2.
Called customer support and they are useless. They could not make my password work to proceed and they were not concerned that their product did not work. They did not offer to send me a new CD to load or wanted to make it write. They just said send it back.

Summary: Method to the madness but finding the method with drive you to madness.
Comment: I just finished Level 1. There is method to Rosetta Stone's madness. But figuring out their method can drive you to madness. They want you to look at a picture, most of the time a very obscure picture, (worth 1,000 words?) and find the words they are thinking of. Sometimes it's obvious, a lot of the time it is NOT!
I wasn't a complete beginner at Spanish so it was less frustrating for me. A friend, who had zero Spanish experience, began the course at the same time and is very frustrated with it for the above reason.
It would be nice if there were something that said, "This is what we want you to get from this section..." But there is not, you are on your own to figure out their method. Sometimes, like one reviewer said, you get so frustrated that you want to throw the computer across the room.
I get Rosetta Stone for free from my employer, so I'm going to do all five levels but I'm supplimenting it with as much different material as I can. I bought several books of the, "Practice Makes Perfect" series written by Dorothy Richmond. I bought; "Basic Spanish," "Spanish Vocabulary," "Spanish Verb Tenses," "Spanish Pronouns and prepositions." All are well reviewed here on Amazon and I have REALLY liked them and they are INEXPENSIVE! Several times I've been reading from one of them and, "OH, that's what Rosetta Stone is doing!" went through my mind. Another suppliment I'm using is the video novela, "Destinos!" It's a 50 episode (30 minutes each) Spanish novela by the ?University of Chicago?, it's free to watch online and you can find it at a library on DVD
( [...] ) I'm just listening to the episodes to help my comprehension.

Summary: Learning Spanish the painless way
Comment: The Rosetta Stone is set up in such a way that one isn't even aware of having absorbed the vocabulary, pronunciation & grammar of the language.The head set leaves something to be desired as it's uncomfortable & clumsy. The mic doesn't always work well. But the lessons themselves are excellent.

Summary: awesome
Comment: I love this program. Yes, you have to keep at it and practice regularly--it's not magic--but it's a natural and intuitive way to learn a language.
