Has anyone tried Rosetta Stone?
I wanna learn Russian and eventually German as well. Is Rosetta Stone a decent product?
Of course its not gonna make you perfect or fluent but is it worth the price?

They are very expensive. I did notice that they are highly pirated overseas, with selling prices of about $25 or so for the course.

Lol dang that's pretty cheap, its like several hundred dollars here.
I think I have a way of getting it for free threw a friend. The military used to have a deal where we could get it for free but I don't think that is an option anymore.

at camp eggers tthere was a weekly swap meet just outside the gate, and they had those programs for sale. now, I KNOW they were pirated, and I seem to remember they were in the $20 to $50 range, but you could and should haggle

Ever hear of news groups? You can find most anything you are looking for. Another way is via file sharing; bittorrent.

You can find it for free, I didn't like it myself.

To me Rosatta stone will only teach you the basics, I had the Arabic version 6 years ago. Paid upwards of $500 usd for it and I learned more being imersed in the arabic environment than a computer.

Best way to learn a lanuage is to move to the country were the language is spoken. Move to moscow. Mingle with the locals.

Lol gotta say I don't think it would go over well either but thanks for the suggestion euro I completely understand what your saying, that method is called immersion training definitely the most effective, its how the Army teaches linguists new languages.
Sadly at 20 I don't have the money lying around to go on Trip like that lol maybe in a couple years.Last edited by Armykid93; 02-10-2013 at 12:22 PM.

I am surprised a lot of people do not like it. You can get it and pay for it monthly instead of one shot. I bought Spanish and Italian and you can have conversations with people through the program. Like any other skill you learn you need to keep doing it in order to get better at it. In the beginning it throws you right into everything without really explaining what you are saying.
For example they will show you a picture of a boy eating. It never tells you the picture and word association is that "The boy eats" you just assume it is. There really isnt anything else it could be.

People pay for Rosetta Stone? Really?
I got their whole library of languages when I wanted to catch up on some Russian and started learning Spanish.
Personally I think it's pretty effective. It does work for sure, just depends on the time you put in.

Good to hear some people find it effective. One of my buddies used the Chinese one I believe and got pretty good

I am sure since you are intel, any language course will be available to you. Try https://www.atrrs.army.mil/ and see if you can attend a course or get Rosetta Stone Free from ATRRS.
I did it for you https://www.atrrs.army.mil/atrrscc/course.aspx

Ha I remember when I was a E nothing ..its OK though spending a chunk of your paycheck that you hope to actually use to better a skill is not a bad way to spend DFAS money. Also I have Rosetta stone and I wanted to learn Spanish. It got me through knowing all the basics and how the layout of the language is, but now that I live in San Diego and I'm around it daily including my landlord who only speaks Spanish it now is never used
