Rosetta Stone Personal Edition contains everything you need to give the voice inside of you a new language. The method used recreates the natural way you learned your first language, revealing skills that you already have. This approach has won numerous awards, and has been adopted by countless organizations, schools and millions of users around the world. Join the language revolution today. Only with Rosetta Stone.

The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.

Learn Naturally
Learn your next language the same way you learned your first language. Dynamic Immersion empowers you to see, hear and comprehend without translating or memorizing. You already have this ability. Rosetta Stone simply unlocks it.

Engage Interactively
Get feedback to move forward. You learn best by doing, and you'll apply what you've learned to get to the next step. Rosetta Stone adapts to your individual needs and skills, because you drive the program with your progress.

Speak Confidently
Start speaking immediately. From the very first lesson, you'll speak. You'll begin with essential basics, which form the building blocks of the language. Soon you'll create new sentences on your own, using words you've learned.

Have Fun
Best of all, Rosetta Stone is addictive. With every entertaining activity, you'll feel success. You'll want to use Rosetta Stone to have that next moment, that next breakthrough. So you'll keep using it, and you'll learn more!

That's language-learning success.
That's Rosetta Stone.

No translation or memorization required.

The most effective way to learn a new language is to be surrounded by it. When you were an infant, your parents taught you this way, by intuitively associating words with images. That's the ultimate language lab, but most language-learning programs completely ignore this.

Think about all of the ways you've tried to learn a language: classes at school, tapes and cassettes, even software that uses your native language as a base for your next one. What do they all have in common? Translation and memorization.

Instead of taking a "direct flight" from your brain to your new language, translation and memorization connects you to your old language. You always have to "fly" from your brain, to your native tongue ... and then translate what you've memorized to communicate.

That might work for a few words, but what happens when you get to a sentence or phrase? When you have to change tenses? You're going to make a lot of "connecting flights." That's why those other methods are so frustrating ... and why they fail.

Enter Dynamic Immersion.
This method encourages you to think like a baby. You'll pair words with vivid, real-life images and make connections between things you know and the new language. Soon, you'll be thinking in a new language, stringing words together into phrases that you create.

Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of a suite of software that works with you to develop your skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep you engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that you're speaking correctly and accurately. Best of all, Rosetta Stone never leaves you behind. You'll only move forward when you're ready, when you've become comfortable and confident.

Communicate and connect with the world: Level 1, 2 & 3 Set.
Rosetta Stone Level 1, 2 & 3 Set will take you on a journey from the basics to a whole new level of sophistication. You'll build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. You'll quickly gain the confidence to engage in social interactions. Say "hello" and "goodbye," arrange travel, order food, go shopping and more! From there, you'll share your ideas and opinions, express feelings and talk about your life, your interests and more. You'll discover a voice. In a new language.

Audio Companion
With Audio Companion, you'll enhance the Rosetta Stone experience wherever you go. You'll learn new skills on the computer, and then reinforce what you've learned with Audio Companion. Simply play the CDs on a stereo or download them to a MP3 Player. Each Audio Companion activity corresponds to a lesson in the Rosetta Stone software, so you can turn your travel time into productive language-learning time.

Inside the box, you'll find:

  • Version 3 Personal Edition CD-ROM software for Levels 1, 2 & 3 (Windows/Mac)
  • Headset microphone
  • User's guide
  • Audio Companion, a multiple-CD set to play or download to your MP3 player

4 out of 5 stars One of many tools needed to learn Spanish   January 19, 2010
Rafid Haidar (gatineau, quebec,canada)

Rosetta stone is an excellent program to get you interested in Spanish. It is interactive and fun. I found myself always looking forward to the next lesson. However it is NOT a stand alone program. As you advance, verb tenses and grammer rules are introduced without explanation. Therfore I use it with other tools such as workbooks, grammer books, audio CDS and a Spanish reader. If you expect to learn Spanish only from this program you will be disapointed. If on the other hand you understand that it is part of a whole you will love it as I do. Its greatest strengths are that it is fun and keeps you interested and that it practices VERBAL language.

1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware   December 3, 2009

This software good for learning certain languages (romance languages primarily).

However, be aware that once you buy you it is yours for life and you are not legally allowed to sell it unless you do so privately. They (Rosetta Stone) will pull your listings from eBay and Craigslist claiming that you are violating their copyright agreement. They claim that you are buying a license for the software, so therefore, it is NOT yours to do with as you wish.

Just a word of caution, not bashing Rosetta Stone, but you should know what you are getting into BEFORE you buy it as many users have found this out the hard way.

Rosetta Stone Version 3: French Level 1, 2 & 3 with Audio Companion

Received a obviously pirated copy from a sender in Hong Kong.

I returned the product and Ihave been sent a promise that I would be refunded.

I have not re-ordered this product as I am afraid what will happen again.

A overall bad experience!

Absolutely terrific course. Just stick with the program as designed, even when it seems repetitive. The re-inforcement really works and you will find you are building skills that truly stick with you.

Expensive, but well worth the outlay.
