Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would not recommend this program to anyone seriously interested in mastering Spanish. (Note, if you are going to purchase it, buy it directly from Rosetta Stone so that you may easily return it if you do not like it. Otherwise, you may be out of pocket for a lot of money!) This program is boring, elementary, and non-contextual. By that, I mean it involves endless box clicking and repetition that will not get you very far in your command of the language. I could see no pedagogically-sound method to its approach, in that there is no literature, no story, no way to easily access grammar rules and examples, and no application that involves language in any meaningful way. You'll learn words for luggage, car trunk, tickets, stop light, etc., but you will not learn words that help you build on a story or a relevant thought. You learn isolated sentences, out of context. Level 5, the highest level, is basic, boring, and mind-numbing. Please be cautious about purchasing this product!
