I've been wanting to learn another language and I was looking into RS. I'm sure it works. I'm sure a lot of language courses work. Its just how hard you want to learn I suppose, pretty much like everything in life.

I tried it for like five minutes and got bored, realized I didn't really want to learn another language. It's supposed to work really well though. It's a little confusing at first; what they do is put up four pictures and say a word in a foreign language and you have to guess which picture matches the word. They go through a set loop until the computer sees that you're starting to remember what each word means.

What the hell are you talking about?

I only know one Rosetta Stone, and I'm pretty sure it's well guarded in a London Museum :-/

best way to learn a language:

Go to the foreign country, live there for a year or so.

I tried it, but it didn't seem to work, so I stopped using it. I actually like learning grammar, and all it did was try to have you memorize everything. It's probably more conceptive.

I found the Rosetta Stone in Ultimecia's Castle.

I forgot what the hell it did but it sure didn't teach me no language.

True, but be practical! Spend a couple hundred to learn a language than spending who knows how much to live in a different country.
