Rosetta Stone?

Silound · 04-22-2009, 11:13 PM

Anyone actually used this software? I came across the level 1 German and Russian packs, and I was tempted to try it, but I really want to know...is it worth the money? (I have all the time and desire in the world, but I don't want to spend 400 bucks for something I'd have better luck taking a class or getting a book in).

I have the Hebrew....It is really good I just haven't applied myself. I would recommend it.

My girlfriend has access to most of them through her school. My hindi needs some brushing up.

I've been tempted to buy the Spanish to better communicate with some of the warehouse workers...

I can get it for free through the Air Force and have been contemplating doing so, I would love to hear more feedback on them!

I have been using the Arabic for a little while now. Not too bad. Anytime I am going somewhere i try to use it for a few weeks to get the basics. I am by no means a genius when it comes to language but even I can pick up on a language with this stuff.
