Has anyone used Rosetta Stone language learning software?
Has anyone used Rosetta Stone language learning software and were you pleased with it? I am considering purchasing the Spanish software. I have tried the rote memory CD's and tapes and I can say the basic phrases, but I still don't feel like I really have a handle on the Spanish language. Rosetta Stone seems like a good idea, if it is actually as good as the TV commercial says.
Please give me some answers from anyone who has used the software for Spanish, or if not for Spanish, then for another language even. Is it fun to use the software or does it feel like work? The commercials on TV make it seem like more fun than a barrel of monkeys to learn a language using Rosetta Stone. Is this true, or just an exaggerated sales pitch?
Thanks so much for serious responses.

I’ve used the older version of Rosetta Stone for Spanish and a few other languages (i used version one i think they are on version three now). I thought it worked rather well. It gives you picture to words at the beginning kind of like flash cards for teaching children a language. It has other options after that to identify the word without the picture and picture without the word. It also has a typing section where you hear the word or phrase and have to type it out. It has the ability to type in other languages (extra letters in Spanish and different languages that have no letters like Japanese). Overall it is a good program and should teach you the language quickly if you use all the tools and motivate yourself to do it.
