Rating:  - Italian 101 supplement
Am enrolled in Italian 101 and find that the Rosetta Stone V 3 has helped me apply what I'm trying to learn in class. IMMERSION - the best way to learn a language as one absorbs the knowledge rather than just cramming information into the brain!
My first language was Spanish and learned English by "Immersion" in school at a time when no one in class was able to communicate with me (no such thing as ESL in those days).
Am planning to purchase Rosetta Stone in Spanish as a Christmas gift for my family as Spanish is very necessary in the working world of today.

I bought Italian Level 1, 2 & 3 a few weeks ago. I have almost gotten through level 1 so far. I am satisfied with the product. It is easy to understand and navigate. The concepts are introduced in a logical manner. It is entertaining enough to encourage countinuing with the lessons. One negative point about Level 1 at least is that sometimes it moves a bit too slow and doesn't let me practice enough on things that I don't immediately get. It offers the answers to the questions too quickly without allowing for sufficient time to think through what the answer should be. Otherwise, I think this is a very good tool to get the basics of the language.
Also, I saw in some other reviews that people were not sure whether it would work with Vista. I have Vista and haven't had any problems so far.

Rating:  - What A Disappointment...
There are many other language programs, more effective and efficient than Rosetta Stone. We recommend books & audio CDs such as "15 Min Italian", "Instant Italian", "All-Audio Italian" by Living Language, and a BBC language education web site. I studied Italian for a month using these tools and were able to get around Italy fine by speaking Italian. Rosetta Stone is an extremely slow and boring program. We returned ours one day after we received it. What a disappointment.. If you have an average IQ, I recommend you avoid Rosetta Stone or Pimsler, and go for more challenging program.

Very easy to use and intuitive product. Have tried several other products because I did not want to spend the money on Rosetta Stone. When it was all said and done, I just wasted my money on the other products and forked out the money to get a class product.
