Amazon.com Product Description:
Now you can learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library 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. It's the natural way to learn.
The Rosetta Stone Explorer contains 22 lessons for beginning learners with nearly 900 real-life images and phrases spoken by native speakers. It develops all key language skills--listening comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing--while its systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. Includes previews, exercises, and tests for every lesson, with automated tutorials throughout the program. (Ages 6 and older)

Rating:  - Worked for me!
I bought this program when I found out we were going to moving to Italy. I used it half an hour to an hour every day for a year. When I got to Italy, I was able to communicate the FIRST DAY! I also used another program to build more vocabulary - Triple Play Plus. With the help of these two programs, I was able to speak to landlords, salespeople, and new friends. It also enabled me to skip Italian One at the language school here. EXCELLENT program!
Rating:  - This is the way to learn a foreign language
I bought the Explorer AFTER I signed up for the free lessons that Rosetta Stone has on their website. I tried the French and the Portuguese lessons and was amazed at how quickly I learned the words. This is the way I learned English--symbol association, and it's the way a child learns its first language. How many times have you seen a parent point to a picture or a toy and say "Lion", or "Dog" to the child. The idea is bootstrap your knowledge by associating the word with the image in your head. ...

Rating:  - Rosetta Stone Italian
This software is very misleading. I purchased Rosetta because it was described as being easy and very effective. The box advertises that this program is used by NASA, well I hope they don't use this version it only gives you 1/4 of the full program. The box makes you think your getting a complete program but your not. After you going through all the exercises just once to get a feel for it you find out you have to go online and buy the rest of the program. I've also purchased Smart Start Italian, ... Read More
Rating: - Rosetta Stone - No!
I ordered this program sight unseen, because it seemed to have had lots of favorable comments. I was immensely disappointed with the program. The sound quality was very poor and the basic setup of the program would not lead me to become very fluent in Italian.
