Rosetta Stone has made language learning as simple as it could possibly do. Rosetta Stone lacks a few tools other programs have, but it’s still a very effective and intuitive way to learn Italian. Uniqueness comes with a price too, but you get what you pay for

The Rosetta Stone program is very easy to use and it’s very intuitive. I like the way the program shows you four images at once and lets you figure out which picture goes with what you’re hearing. It’s pretty easy and it seems to burn the words and phrases into your memory. If you stick with the program, which isn’t all that hard to do, because it’s fun and rewarding, I imagine you’ll be learning Italian faster than you thought possible. 5 Star

I’ve tried a couple of the Rosetta Stone products in the past and the Italian level 1,2,3 doesn’t disappoint. The product installed fine on Mac OS 10.5 or you can install on Windows XP/Vista.
As far as the language learning, the product performs well. It starts off easy with matching of words to pictures and quickly builds to speaking and matching more complex language sentences. I like how the product feels up to date with the images and the over all look and feel. I really like the ability to speak back to the system so that it can verify how I’m pronouncing the words and sentences. I also like the audio companion feature that allows you to take your learning on the road with an MP3 player.

As far as learning a language by using the software, well….that takes time and commitment to going through the software and practicing. Its easy to think that you can just go through the software and speak another language but learning a language is hard work but the software makes it more manageable.

My impression of Rosetta Stone Italian is that it’s probably the best way to learn a foreign language. I’m picking up Italian a lot faster than ever before. Like I’ve said before, Rosetta Stone is a very good way, maybe the best way, to learn a foreign language and if you use the audio companion (I loaded it onto my iPod) and if you listen to a radio station in your target language (thank goodness for the internet) then you’ll be speaking in no time at all.

I have really enjoyed my level 1 Italian from Rosetta Stone! It has been really easy to use and I will definitely use it during my trip to Italy this year. Try the demo yourself!

This is my second Rosetta Stone. This has three lessons and three components so that it helps people with different learning styles. You say it. You see it. You hear it. It comes with everything you need including the microphone recorder/headphone set. The immersion with the learning software is excellent, as if you are in Italy you see all the things you would see in the various towns. The one caveat with Rosetta stone is that you have to take the time to listen to it and reveiw the software. This isn’t one of those “listen on your way to work” things.

I had attended an Italian language class several years ago and visited Rome soon after, but I could hardly remember anything I learned. Quite skeptical at first, I soon found the Rosetta Stone Italian 1 course to be effective and well worth the cost compared to attending a class. Just from using the program a few hours a week, I was quite surprised at my ability to easily summon phrases and words that had far exceeded from where the class left off.

I received my Rosetta Stone Italian for Christmas. I am totally amazed how much I have learned in such a short time! I actually spoke in Italian to a person I met in the hospital just last week. I work on the program 2 or 3 times a week and it really has taught me about the language. I would very highly recommend it to everyone!

I can’t say enough about this product. This is the way to learn to speak Italian! Installation is easy and the lessons flow along in a smooth and exciting way. You’ll be speaking that wonderful language from lesson one! I love the interactive method that Rosetta Stone utilizes. It’s like a conversation – you are learning Italian the same way you learned English. Fascinating and effective. Worth every penny!!
