yes. for romantic languages its perfect, for asiatic languages not so much, however if you take a course also, you can double the speed of your learning with rosetta.

I use it 30min-1hr a week right before my teacher starts her actual lesson. She's there with me while I do Rosetta and clarifies some of the things for me.

Them nikkas will introduce a new phrase and not tell you what some of the words are. like he and she instead of her and him, so you're sitting there wondering why the fukk they're using a different series of words for the same exact pictures they used last chapter lol. they never explain it, so you're stuck trying to figure out why.

with romantic languages you just sort of know, because of masculine and fem, or third person, second person and first person, something the asian languages do not use.

I used it when I was dating this french girl...funny thing is I picked up more talking to her than from the program.

If you want to learn a language faster...I think it's better to find someone to speak it with or travel.

The french and spanish version are very good

buy level I of the Spanish study and after you get the basics...get a spanish chick or travel.

Frankly if you get a Spanish girl you may not even need it, if she is willing to help you.

I've been using Plimseur Approach since last year. So far I'm on the third CD(spanish 3) and I've learned a good amount of spanish. I can text in spanish to this puerto rican girl I know and read a little in spanish. It's funny as last year I didn't

Ahora, puedo hablar espanol con mis amigos porque he aprendido mucho espanol desde ano pasado.(I know a few of the letters aren't written like that but I don't know how to write them in spanish.

Hey OP.... I'm going put you on some game.. The quickest way to learn a foreign language is to use what you are already playing for.. the internet... and a few choice books.... Skype, YouTube, Online Forums and Resources can help you learn for the low.

Rosetta Stone is like the most expensive software on the market and it teaches you words and phrases but very little grammar. It will get you interested in the language to buy more s**t. If you get software, go cheap..

Barron's Spanish 501 Verbs and a workbook like Barron's Spanish Now Level 1 will do wonders until or unless you are still in school where you can actually take classes.
