The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn a New LanguageProceed at Your Own Pace Rosetta Stone is considerate of your time. Anytime, anywhere, you can learn a new language with Rosetta Stone. You learn comfortably without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. Rosetta Stone provides guidance to make your language learning effective, fast, and enjoyable with a process that is intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging. At the end of each lesson, you are given the opportunity to test your new skills. And, since Rosetta Stone automatically records your progress, you can easily pick up where you left off, when other priorities arise. Make Language Learning Intuitive with Dynamic Immersion Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help you learn. You will be presented with sets of images to match correctly with a spoken or written phrase in the new language. You will advance to the next set of prompts once you've successfully matched words and images and pronounced the words correctly. With Dynamic Immersion, you learn by directly associating your new language with images--nothing is lost in translation. Fun, Easy, and Immediate Reinforcement Interactive exercises create a learning environment that is engaging and game-like--it's fun! How It Works As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity. Rosetta Stone recreated this natural way of learning by developing a method that uses a computer to mimic the environment in which we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion. A simple, intuitive interface and advanced technology confirms learning at every step of the process by prompting you to make connections between images you already understand and the new language. You receive immediate feedback, which helps you to reinforce learning. This systematic structure builds from simple nouns and verbs to more complex concepts and phrases very quickly, helping you achieve your language-learning goals faster than you ever thought possible. Level 1--Build A Foundation Build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. Gain the confidence to master basic conversational skills, including greetings and introductions, simple questions and answers, shopping and much more.

Rosetta Stone Version 3: Spanish (Latin America) Level 1 with Audio Companion Reviews
Let me add that the lessons are more useful and pertinent than any other lessons I have used. the shortest amount. In conclusion I would say that if you are willing to put in the time to do the exercises you will be able to speak Spanish with confidence in. By using repetition and the introduction of small amounts of new information in each new lesson you will learn how to think in Spanish rather than translating each word or phrase that you want to use. While my experience with the CD glued to the sleeve was the same as the other review, I found that denatured alcohol would remove the glue quite well.
By simply going thru the exercises your will develope the numerous skills required to know and use a new language. It is not "tourist language". Rosetta really should look into this.
. It is the easiest, fastest, and in my experience the most successful method of learning a new language in the shortest amount of time. Rosetta conveys vast amounts of well thought out information in a manner that is really quite revolutionary to the field of language learning.
All of this happens without the laborius and tedious study that is normally required in other methods of language study. You are simultaneously learning the vocabulary and grammar as well as learning to hear and speak Spanish. Beyond this small problem I have found this product to be exactly as promised.
I love buying from Amazon I doubt this is their fault. I recieved said item went to upload it on the computer and the disk wouldn't come out of the sleeve. Instead of paper sleeves it should go in plastic cases to avoid glue. I looked at it and saw that it had been glued to the sleeve. I had been waiting for this item excited to learn a new language and what I got was the one someones child package on take your kid to work day. The second disk was glued too and was in worse condition. We'll see if the replacement is in better condition.
