 - Works GreatAs with most things, you'll get out of this whatever you put into it. This isn't osmosis, and you'll have to work -- but the efforts will pay off. I'm using it on 2 different Mac systems, and I have no problems whatsoever. Interface is intuitive, everything is easy to follow -- all you have to do is commit to the process and let it do its thing. Before you know it, you'll notice that the language really is seeping into your head, and you'll start to notice yourself speaking in your mind what you're seeing around you. Commit to a routine schedule, daily if possible, to make sure you don't spend too much time away from the process. Also, give it time, and don't get frustrated if you have to go slow or keep redoing lessons -- just redo whatever you need to, knowing that you'll learn it all the better the next time through. Rating:  - Italian Language Course, Rosetta StoneThe method employed in Rosetta Stone is similar to the intense method to which I was exposed in college. Thus far (after three weeks), I've been impressed by the ease of use, the logical progression of information, automatic "reviews", and many other aspects of the software. If one spends a half hour or so per day, the software provides an efficient way to learn new information and to reinforce previously learned information. The quality of the images, voice recognition, native speakers employed and combination of speaking, listening, reading and writing make Rosetta Stone Italian both effective and fun. I would highly recommend the product. Rating: - Italian Rosetta StoneThis is a great visual way to learn Italian; very easy to use. The price was the best I have seen. Rating:  - a software noteThis product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product. Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection. Rating: - great for getting your kid to studyMy son has struggled with his Jr & High School Italian classes for years --just couldn't get him to put in the time, and study. This absolutely caused a big change! Now studying Italian is like playing a computer game - I can't get him off it. He's gone from failing to A grades. I wish I'd bought this years ago.
