RosettaStone - anyone tried it?

[volinbham]

I'd like to learn some basic Spanish (Latin American style).

Anyone tried RosettaStone? I'm looking for an easy approach.

Not sure if it is worth the money (we have the privilege of using it for free), however, it is a fairly decent way to build the basic understanding of a language.

Basically, you match sounds to pictures. I would have to assume this is exactly how infants and toddlers learn a language. Therefore, your understanding of the language, upon completion of 18 units of Rosetta Stone, is somewhere around the comprehension level of a first grade child/UK Graduate.

Can't argue with that.

Edit. This was in response to post # 10 NOT # 11.

Is it against the rules to curse in Spanish?

 

[volinbham]

Can't argue with that.

Sure it was.

I'd also like to know what my landscapers are saying about me.

And the people standing behind me in Wal Mart.

My first Spanish sentence...

¿es eso un plátano en su bolsillo o es usted apenas feliz verme?

 

[volsforever27]

No.

Ummm...my Spanish is too rusty, but I don't like the sound of that one.

We need Spanish speaking mods apparently.

I believe that means hardly. I reverse translated the sentence and it doesn't work quite right.

 

[volinbham]

I retranslated the sentence and here's what I got:

a banana in its pocket is that or you are you you cause sorrow happy to see me

I'm sorry your "apenas" does not work quite right VBH.

That's why I have to switch to a whole new ethnicity! Next year, I'll be trying to learn Russian
