1. 5/5Finally Learning French

   My adult daughter purchased a family subscription to DuoLingo so that she, her teenage daughter, and myself could all learn French together. Since I live distantly, this would be a fun way to learn AND have something that just the women of the family did. After almost a year of daily use of the application, I had a book of handwritten notes, three different French-English dictionaries ( one is in order of word most used which is really cool), print outs of verb conjugations….get the picture? I was frustrated that I still did not feel comfortable approaching a fluent speaker of French at work. I had no confidence in spending, writing, or in any way USING the language I was putting so much time and energy into! Then, my wonderful husband, who has been present for the majority of my D.L. Lessons, gave me a subscription to Rosetta Stone for my recent birthday. He lived in LaRochelle, France as a child and I truly believe he had forgotten less of the language than I had up to that point learned. After three weeks with only five days a week classes that are at MY pace, I am using French! I have posted on social media using French. Had a rudementary exchange at work en Français. Have to correct text and typed words for American versus French spelling. I am retaining the phrases because they are applicable to daily life. I hope I am offered the opportunity to leave a review again…I’ll include some of the crazy phases DL had me practice.

2. 5/5I love learning new languages, and being respected.

   I purchased a lifetime subscription to this app and I’ve only used it a little at this point, but today I was extremely impressed and pleasantly surprised by one of its features. I love learning new languages, this app is great for that and I need to spend more time using it. I also love it when app developers are respectful of my time and my focus. Unfortunately, this is the first one I’ve seen that really takes steps to show that respect. Recently I have made it my practice to leave one star reviews for any app that highjacks my time and requires me to touch a button or answer a question before releasing me to continue on with whatever it was I was trying to do. I know the negative impact that a one star review has for the developers, and I hate that I don’t see another way, but the message is being received. I am leaving the five star review for the developers of the Rosetta Stone app because they did invade my time and force me to push a button, but they also included a button that gave me the choice to never again have another pop-up box holding my app hostage and demanding my time for a ransom. It seems that Apple App Store requires developers to incorporate this disrespectful and annoying feature into their apps, or makes it impossible to compete or get noticed in the App Store without it. Nonetheless, if everybody did the same as I, you can guarantee Apple would have a lot of upset developers and would begin to find a different way to encourage customers to share their opinions.

3. 5/5Good way to learn a language.

   As a teacher, and polyglot or multingual speaker, I am very happy with this program and the manner it goes about teaching languages. You are not learning by lists or memorization, per se, but by being immersed in the language and learning through association. I used to teach several subjects to gifted and talented children and they learn information best in this manner, as do all children. My husband and best friend are learning Italian for a trip we are all taking to Italy in the further. I learned Italianan as a child much in the way this program teaches, I am working on learning the formal italian so I will not appear rude by giving the familiar when I should be addressing people formally; I am doing this because otherwise Italians think I am just a rude Italian. Italians (and people of other cultures) are very forgiving when they know you are a non-native speaker and are trying to speak their language, so my husband and friend will be treated well when we go. Don’t worry about being perfect, just do your best, and you can always do the lessons over to become more proficient. I’m very happy that I am going to get to improve my language skills and perhaps even learn a bit of a few new languages as we finally travel since we retired. Remember, that you are above the curve of most people, because you are actually trying and working on a language to improve.

4. 5/5Fast and engaging way to learn, especially for beginner and intermediate learners

   I’ve used Rosetta Stone off and on for years now. When I first traveled to China, I had powered through level 1 mandarin a few months before the trip and everyone I met said my accident was SO good, even though my vocabulary was still at beginner level. Still, I had the skills and confidence to try living and socializing in China. I attribute Rosetta Stone with this early success. Since then, I’ve gone on to study mandarin in graduate school and in a semester in China, and I still use mandarin level 4-5 to brush up on my skills. The combination of engaging visuals, plus authentic chinese audio and the option to use real Chinese characters plus pinyin (written Chinese for English speakers) also gave me confidence jumping into the wild world of written characters. Once you get to advanced language levels, you will definitely want to supplement Rosetta Stone with advanced book learning (think formal classroom textbooks) and plenty of conversation with real speakers, but even then Rosetta is still useful for brushing up on key vocabulary with good visuals. Especially for the beginner and intermediate learner, I can’t speak highly enough if Rosetta Stone. If I could suggest one improvement, bring back the games and make more of them!! This was a fun way to keep learning the language when maybe I was too brain-drained after work to do a full lesson.

5. 5/5Three languages so far

   I studied languages in college, and for me, Rosetta Stone has been the best tool for practicing and learning languages. They’ve actually reorganized the instruction to the approach I’ve always used - 30 minutes per lesson, rather than units within levels with 5-30 minute instruction blocks. My recommendation is to do 30 minutes per day 5-7 days a week. Language is something your brain has to process and absorb over time. It’s much more effective to do it consistently several days per week than to do something like 2 hours every Sunday. The way RS presents the language, you learn the language with the appropriate syntax (word order), which means you learn to speak the language the way native speakers do rather than putting foreign language words into English language order - which makes no sense to native speakers. Equally important is the fact that it’s a sequence of instruction that you just follow. You don’t have to think about what you should be studying every day. It just pulls you along, and incorporates stuff you’ve learned previously to reinforce your learning along the way. I used RS to learn German when I moved to Germany, and I used it to refresh my French when I was moving to France. I’m using it currently to refresh my Spanish. I was really pleased with the results I got in Germany. In less than a year, I could speak German well enough to get around the country, catch trains, planes & taxis, order food, shop, generally get around & communicate effectively. The key is consistent practice. If you commit to consistency, Rosetta Stone takes care of the rest.
