Trying to learn Korean

They don’t go over the vowels or the consonants with you. So it’s gonna be hard to read what is what. It’s also hard when they want you to figure out what sentence goes to a picture without clicking the translation box, Since again you can’t read. I gave it 3 stars cause out of this I can only understand what I hear but not what I see.

New User

I recently began using this product. So far it is a good choice. It reinforces lessons visually, audibly, and by listening. Only complaint so far is the pictures are small and sometimes can’t see very well with cell phone.

Hi Ronald. Thank you for contacting Rosetta Stone. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. You can enlarge an image or text by holding your finger on the selected image/text and it will zoom in. This will make the image/text more visible and you can tap away to go back to the normal view.

easy to use, proper amount in each section

it is good the way make us repeated read and speak basic words and phrases that will become the backbone in establishing spanish in each learner, when those basic phrases become familiar, we naturally absorb the grammar as well.
The reason why I cannot give 5 stars that some of the picture is not clear: I and my daughter were confused for some pictures for 'nina', whe either look boy or lady. also, sometimes we were not sure what we were supposed to do, where we listen and choose the right picture, or vise versa.
Prononciation lesson did not work in my cell phone, don't know why, I might figure out later.

Greatest way to learn a language ! However...

Greatest way to learn a language, by far. I would give a full 5 star review except i am however disappointed in these few things
1. They do not offer Norwegian which is my families native tongue and really the only reason i bought the app was so my daughter and i could learn it so we could speak better with our relatives
2. They used to offer Swahili and no longer do. I cant understand the logic in that and i am struggling to find an original version so i can learn it.
3. They do not offer latin.

My favorite foreign language program of many

I have tried many foreign language programs and I think that Rosetta Stone is the best because they teach you similar to how a child learns - with photos. I have had to call them and they answer promptly and have always been extremely helpful. I have also taken the tutoring classes with a real teacher and 3 others in the online class and it's very good and helpful.

Great learning tool

Overall, very good language program. One problem has been with pronunciation exercises. Across several languages, this program has some flaws that do not pick up my pronunciation, which is clearly correct. I repeat the sam pronunciation of words and sometimes it takes many tries and then suddenly it accepts the pronunciation. Very frustrating.

Worth the money I spent on lifetime access

I really like how this app helps me learn intuitively with pictures. The quality is really good and I like that I can learn multiple languages. I won't give 5 stars just because sometimes there are bugs and also because the app asks to set a reminder every day and I can't set it to never ask again.
