Amazon.com Product Description:
Why is Rosetta Stone the world's No. 1 language-learning software? Because it works.

Escape the endless tedium of translation, memorization, and grammar drills. Get the language you want, the skills you need and the success you deserve by learning a new language naturally--the same way you learned your first language.

 
 

The complete immersion environment puts your native language-learning skills to work, eliminating your dependence on tedious translation and rote memorization.

 
 
 
  Images Intuition  
   
 

In Rosetta Stone you learn the meaning of new language from clear, real-life images.




In this activity you learn colors.


You advance using language you've learned and clues from new images. That's your intuition at work.




Now that you know colors, you can easily grasp the meaning of the new words...
 
   
  Interactivity Instruction  
 

Throughout Rosetta Stone, you constantly interact with the program to confirm your intuition.




...and then check what you've learned.


From beginning to end you build systematically toward your language-learning goals, for the most effective and enjoyable instruction anywhere.




And finally, you get the fun of trying your new language in a real-life simulation. Speech recognition shows you exactly how you're doing.
 
 


You learned your first language without translation.
You learned your first language easily and naturally by connecting words to objects and events around you. With Rosetta Stone, learn a new language the same way: using native speakers and thousands of real-life images to help you think in the new language from the very beginning. Studies show that learning exclusively in the new language, without translation as a crutch, is crucial.

The exclusive Dynamic Immersion method reinforces your natural language-learning skills with award-winning instructional technology. Identify your learning goals, then choose customized courses that take you there.

The timeless immersion method, along with research-based techniques and new technologies, make Rosetta Stone the clear solution to your language-learning needs.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helped LOADS with learning to READ Arabic

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - version 3 is way too self-important

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Definitely Room for Improvement
PROS:

-For Arabic or any other language software that does not rely on the Roman Alphabet, you need to have perfect hearing (which I do not) to understand what they are saying and your speakers should be top quality.
-The first lesson throws you ... Read More
