Rosetta Stone

[brainchild]

I'm looking to learn spanish on an advanced level (good enough to live and communicate in a latin american country), wondering if i should go the Rosetta Stone route or what. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

[stev]

Rosetta stone is great....ton of reviews online.

its $499 US on amazon. for Spanish (LATAM) levels 1 - 5

[DTAC]

Agreed. Great tool. Will get you up and running for sure and also don't worry, being immersed in the country you'd be amazed how quickly you'll pick up the language.

I really need to get back into it again. I was going good in Hindi and Arabic.

[fouljuice]

It works if you do your part too. Some secondary schools use it.

You could also try livemocha first if you don't have the $ for Rosetta Stone.

[Habit7]

I have done Spanish from form 1 to doing it as my undergrad minor. Once you understand the advanced fundamentals (6th form), three months immersed in a Spanish speaking country (no English speakers around you) you will be fluent.

[Rooki3]

always wondered if it wrks, imma run a torrent search

[DTAC]

You can get the older software and language packs (version 3+) off torrents easy, but the most recent software and advanced languages packs (version 4) is much harder.

hmm always wondered if it was any good..wana try the arabic

[DTAC]

The Arabic is really good. I was using a Version 3 language pack from long time but still very very good.

[crazybalhead]

I tried it. Found it was a waste of time. Speaking to natives is much better, and faster as long as you learn the fundamentals in school. OR do what my former boss from Venezuela suggested and find a horizontal dictionary.

Lolz, haven't heard that term used in quite awhile

[JoKeR1980]

used it for French...didn't get to intermediate tho....but I'd recommend it

[BrandonSingh]

rosette stone is good, using it for french atm

[christopherwilliams2]

Using it with French and Spanish, levels 1 to 5, Version 3 at the moment.... Not a foreign language person but I'm learning anyways.

499 USD is way cheaper than going to live in a spanish country for 3 months... heh

what about upkeeping the dictionary for same period of time? they're mostly self sufficient yunno.

[X2]

You ever try to keep a spanish dictionary up for 3 months ? It's hella expensive... plus it is constantly giving you feedback when you just want to have a drink.

[wagonrunner]

they earn their keep man. you go for lessons on a slow night like tonight.

Buyig the boxed set is worth it as you get the headset that helps you with your pronounciation. Bought the full spanish course a few years ago.
