I am in the process of learning Spanish, just started the Rosetta Stone computer thing and also audio cd course. Wondering if anyone knows of a good Spanish t.v. version of like Sesame Street where I could learn the basics, ABC's, numbers, etc., that is on Dish Network? I'm taking baby steps here, just starting out, so don't laugh too hard!

Where can i learn a new language in NYC or Staten island (if that's possible) i would buy Rosetta Stone but i'd rather interact with people or a person who knows the language.

I really want to learn Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and Sign Language. But I'm focusing more on Spanish right now.

- Thnx
Oh, and i'm 16.

I want to be able to speak fluent spanish and wanted to know the best way to do this. I was thinking of trying Rosetta Stone's level 1 for spanish but I have my doubts that I will really be able to speak it fluently from it, plus it's a bit pricey. What is the most effective way to learn spanish and has anyone ever tried Rosetta Stone? Do they really have a money-back guarantee?

I would like to re-learn spanish and speak it fluently this time. I wanted to purchase Rosetta Stone because I've heard that it's a really good program to learn spanish. Unfortunately, Rosetta Stone is too expensive for my budget. Volume 1 is 0 and to purchase a complete set which includes volume 1-5, the price is around 0 to 0 a set. I'm looking for the second best, interactive, spanish learning software out there; or the best, most affordable, interactive, spanish learning software on the market.

Latin in college right now?

I really want to know spanish, and I think latin would help out but I'd like to learn both at the same time if possible

If I bought the spanish rosetta stone, how long do you think until i could use it and talk with native speakers (doesnt have to be fluently)

I am wanting to either learn French, Spanish, or German. But I want to know what is the best software to use. Is Rosetta Stone really the best? If not what is. I don't know anyone who speaks any other language around me. And what language is the easiest to learn; French, Spanish, or German? Thank You.

Hi Guys and Gals, I need your advice or opinions.

I've been trying to learn Spanish here and there for a bout 2 years.

I've picked up a few words and phrases, but I'm not getting to the poing where I can actually hold a 'full conversation' with a Spanish speaker.

Ive been using Google and a few learning Audio CD's. I recently picked up the Tell Me More - Spanish language series 1-9 (beginner to advanced). It's suppose to be better than the Rosetta stone system, but I still think I'm missing something... I'm cosidering taking a formal class at a local college.
My idea is to take a beginner level formal class, then maybe start the Tell me more series in 'Intermediate Mode' to move me to the next level.

What are your feelings on the formal classes vs the language learning systems like Rosetta Stone or Tell Me More?

What do you think about my idea about the formal beginner training, then using the Language systems to move me to the next level?

If I do take a formal class, is there any benefit from takin a class taught by a native speaker, or an American that has studied it for years?

Thanks for your time and input!

I'm trying to learn Spanish. I'm over half way done with the Rosetta Stone program and have done a lot of the content on studyspanish.com, but my Spanish is still super lousy. Using Free Online resources, how can I obtain fluency?

I've been using Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish with much success, and I would like to educate myself on a variety of subjects such as math, science, and more. I find that Rosetta Stone's interactive style works perfectly for me (they call it the "Dynamic Immersion method"). It's very difficult for me to learn by simply reading. Is there interactive software similar to Rosetta Stone for subjects other than language?

Please comment if you have used this software or know someone who has.
How effective is this program from a real world perspective instead of my only current source of information, which is their own, biased, infomercials and website.
Exactly how fluent will I be if I use Rosetta Stone Latin American Spanish language packs 1 & 2 all the way through?
For example...would I be able to read a Mexican newspaper, from cover to cover?....
I will understand what percentage of it?
Thank you for your time,

So you are now able to speak and understand Spanish?

hey im a junior in high school and last year i finished my requirements for my language credits. it was required that i take 3 years in my high school career which i completed, (i started in junior high) and this year i am not taking a language. now looking back, i kind of miss it and i found it really neat being able to speak another language, but the thing is that i am still not very good at it. i can barely make a basic sentence and i want to do better and perfect it in a way. does anyone know what i can do to make my speaking skills in spanish better? i know rosetta stone's software program is really good but i dont want to pay 300 bucks for it, so does anyone have any idea what i can do? If i havent mentioned this yet, ive taken 3 years of spanish (and i may take it again senior year) so if i do go back into spanish i dont want to forget anything (eventhough one of my teachers said its near impossible to forget a language) thanks so much!

Thinking about buying Rosetta Stone but don't know if its worth 0.00 ...i really want to learn but the sentence structure is sooo, um. jacked up and objective. What is the best way and no, right now I am unable to go to a Spanish speaking country due to graduate schoooool

I'm looking to learn spanish in less than a month and im wondering if there are any free programs or any strategies to learn. If not what is the best program to learn spanish in a system such as Rosetta Stone. P.S. spanish classes at school suck.

Over summer break, I've been learning German w/ Rosetta Stone and have gotten pretty far, I can now carry on some basic conversations. Now, that I'm back in school, I have to take Spanish, but I'm afraid to take both at the same time for fear of being confused. What should I do?

What do you think is good book to buy to start studying Spanish?
Rosetta stone doesn't teach grammar.
I am asking for a BOOK

I'm hoping to hear your recommendations for a Spanish computer program. We were using the Rosetta Stone through the public library which is no longer available. I'm sure we could find it through another library, but we'd like to change programs as he went through all the lessons. We speak Spanish in the house and I've looked into several local classes, but I'd like to find a program to keep his ear in the language and continue to expand his vocabulary. He really enjoyed the Rosetta Stone. It was the first thing he did every morning and he reminds me daily to look for a replacement. I know they have several at the electronics stores, but it's difficult to know from the outside of the package. If someone knows of one that has good speak recognition allowing him to participate in conversation, that would be great as he's just gaining courage to speak. Thanks much for your input.

Is the Rosetta Stone series for Spanish worth the money? Thanks!

I am reading a book "spanish for dummies", and I am doing the "Spanish Rosetta Stone", but I just cant get a grasp on any of it. Please help.

I was wondering what the easiest way to learn a language is? I have a hard time learning in a classroom. I can memorize words, it's the grammar and structure I have issues with. I also lose interest quickly. Are there certain programs that work better than others? I was thinking that the Rosetta Stone programs might work, but they're SO expensive. Does anyone know if they work as well as they're said to? Or if there's something out there just as good and not as epensive? I would prefer a program that can keep my interest, and also address my issues with grammar and structure.

Finally, should I learn Spanish or German? I want to learn German the most, but I know learning Spanish will be extremely useful soon if I stay in the USA.

Hi. I'm twelve years old and I take French. I don't really like it, because its more Spanish I'd like to learn. I already have a French Rosetta Stone, and I don't want to buy a Spanish one. Are there any good websites I could learn free Spanish on? Thanks everyone!

I've seen the Rosetta Stone commercials and I must say that they market themselves very well. Does this program actually deliver such great results? Is the pricing pretty conservative? Are there any other programs that you would recommend? Thanks in advance.

I'm still in year 11 but I wasn't able to choose spanish as an option...what could I use to learn spanish.... Rosetta stone is £400 which is way too much, and Muzzy is way too young for my ages as the ages are only up to at the most 12 year olds. I'm looking into taking a course in college, but outside of school, how can I learn myself?

I cant decide between Rosetta Stone, Learning Spanish Like Crazy , or Aurolog. I've heard great things about all of these programs, but I think Learning Spanish Like Crazy might be the best so far. What do you think?
9 months ago

I am looking in investing in either pimsleur, learning Spanish like crazy, or rosetta stone? They all carry a heavy price tag, but I figured knowing a language is something I can't pay enough for. Also I did recently learn Italian, not fluently and I know that the two languages are NOT the same, but I just want a way to learn Spanish without feeling that it is TOO easy.

AND...I would want to know conversational language, so that I can interact, it is not for school purposes.

thanks

I'm puerto rican. My padres don't speak much spanish. My abuelos thought it would be better if they didn't introduce them to spanish so that english would be their first language and life in America would be easier for them. I know simple phrases like; I'm hungry, How are you, When's your birthday?, etc. But....I want to be fluent. Any suggestions on how to learn spanish quickly and isn't expensive? I wanted the Rosetta Stone but the price is unbelieveable. Please help. Gracias. =)

I want a website ( or youtube series of videos) that has a good and easy way to learn spanish. I know a lot already, but i have almost finished my curriculum and i am still not speaking fluently! Any tips? ANd Rosetta Stone owners...Do you like it? was it worth the money? thanks everybody!
