Rosetta Stone Russian (Language Software)
|
Rosetta Stone Russian Introduction:
Do you want to learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats?
The Rosetta Stone approach, proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide,
teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before.
We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with
the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by
presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase.
Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually
learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated
systematically, leading to everyday proficiency.
This comprehensive program provides up to 550 hours of mastery instruction in
listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking. Systematic structure
teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists or drills. Previews,
exercises, and tests accompany every lesson, and there are automated tutorials
throughout the program. Graphical speech recognition displays your voiceprint
and compares it with the native speaker to help improve your pronunciation.
(Ages 6 and older)

Excellent Learning Method, June 9, 2008

Terence J.

I purchased level 3 after completing levels 1 and 2. This method is very
effective. It is intuitive and fun. I am regularly complemented by native
Russian speakers on my pronunciation. I am impressed how the various lessons
build upon each other and reinforce learning. One great feature of Rosetta Stone
is called Adaptive Recall. The program has a built in calendar that prompts you
to review summaries of previous lessons on a regular basis.
Note to potential purchasers: There are no dictionaries or traditional text
books included. I recommend that you buy are good dictionary and also a book
such as 501 Russian Verbs. These will help you a lot as you proceed with Rosetta
Stone.

Intuitive Learning, November 28, 2007

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Russian software so far...
I have completed only two lessons and I am amazed how much I have picked up
and retained in such a short period of time.
The lessons progress and build on themselves in an intuitive yet logical
manner doing away with any need for translation.
Looking forward to finishing both levels. |

Best learning method, March 23, 2008
| By |
Terence J.
Galvin (Cincinnati,
OH USA) |
This is the only Russian language program I have ever actually looked
forward to using. Is is a total experience of words, pictures, and learning
by association, not just rules and memorization of vocabulary. The software
is quite intelligent in its design and includes many reviews of material at
predetermined times to reinforce learning.

I love Rosetta Stone, August 28, 2008
My past history with foreign languages is not a pretty one. I have
previously struggled to learn three languages with little success. Faced
with the need to learn Russian, I thought it could never happen. Rosetta
Stone truly is different. For example, they don't actually "teach" you
anything. You develop your own vocabulary, grammar rules, etc. by observing
what is going on in the pictures & looking for patterns. Ocassionally this
was frustrating but that didn't usually last long & I felt a sense of
accomplishment when I figured it out. A Russian-English dictionary is very
helpful. By spending about an hour a day on Rosetta Stone, I feel as if I
have learned quite a bit in about a month. You must have the time to
dedicate to this regularly. My husband & I are both thrilled with our
progress & strongly recommend Rosetta Stone - Russian. |

Excellent Start, as Always, March 30, 2008
I think Rosetta Stone is an excellent product, I have used the French and
Russian and I find their method infinitely better than trying to memorize
Russian words next to their meaning in your native tongue. I always thought
I just couldn't learn languages but then I realized that the way I was
attempting to learn was at fault and Rosetta Stone offers a great and
logical alternative. Some people complain about Rosetta Stone not making you
a master in the language it is teaching you but it is not supposed to. It
gets you to where you can communicate well in that language and if you want
to continue learning you can pick up a secondary school book of that
language to get your grammar really squared away. I found Russian Rosetta
Stone to be as good as the French, which is to say very good, fun and easy
to use. After using my friend's I plan to buy it sometime next month. As for
the first reviewer that is a completely ridiculous expectation of the
software, and a completely ridiculous reason to give a product a poor rating
and that review should be taken down in my opinion. |

Good for vocabulary, August 11, 2008
Rosetta Stone is a good product for building vocabulary and even helping
with pronunciation, but you won't get fluency from it. I don't think it's
worth the price honestly. If you can get it for free, or if you have the
money to spend on it, then it's a nice tool to add to your arsenal. But I
wouldn't go out of my way to buy this product because it's just not enough
by itself if you want to truly master a language. I think this is good for
beginners, but once you reach the intermediate level you will need more than
Rosetta Stone.
If you can't afford the Rosetta Stone products, then stick to the cheaper
programs while watching movies, and listening to music and you'll get a much
greater exposure to the language than Rosetta Stone will give you. |
