Guest Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Just wondering if anyone has used the program Rosetta Stone for learning another language? I know it's not cheap, and would like to know if anyone's used it, and if so what was your experience with it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I saw him his knowledge of Italian (I think it was) seemed to grow exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to learn a second language but I've never had the opportunity/motivation to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to pick up a second language in university, but it turns out I probably won't be able to. I can't minor in Religious Studeis Education and a second-language at the same time. Woe is me.

Woe is me. why not? Because they only allow one minor (since I already have two majors in my program... well sort of, I get two degrees, one in math and one in education), and I want to be qualified to teach Religion classes.

I found that if you're really motivated then it is useful and does work, but if you're not motivated, it's just annoying It is expensive though... And there's one section that I couldn't stand, where you're suppose to repeat the words in the language and it tells you if you did it correctly. I could never get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
