Rosetta Stone Dutch (Language Software)
|
Rosetta Stone Dutch Introduction:
Do you want to learn a new language with the award-winning method used by the U.S. State Department to train diplomats?
The Rosetta Stone approach, proven effective by NASA astronauts, Peace Corps volunteers, and millions of students worldwide,
teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before.
We all learn our childhood language by associating new words and phrases with
the world around us. The Rosetta Stone method replicates this process by
presenting vivid, real-life images to convey the meaning of each new phrase.
Instead of translating, memorizing, and studying rules of grammar, you actually
learn to think in the new language. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated
systematically, leading to everyday proficiency.
This comprehensive program provides up to 550 hours of mastery instruction in
listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking. Systematic structure
teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists or drills. Previews,
exercises, and tests accompany every lesson, and there are automated tutorials
throughout the program. Graphical speech recognition displays your voiceprint
and compares it with the native speaker to help improve your pronunciation.
(Ages 6 and older)

Don't try it on a Mac, June 12, 2008

I just received the Rosetta Stone Dutch V2, Level 1 and 2, which is
labeled for Windows and Mac. The headphone was damaged upon receipt. I still
have not been able to open the program - it installs correctly, but won't
read the language disk. (There are separate application and language disks.)
In fact, my Mac froze completely - the language disk must be damaged,
although it appears okay. I accessed the online support FAQ and received
technical directions beyond my abilities:
"If you are having trouble using current Rosetta Stone Version 2 software on
an OS 10.5 Mac, please uninstall and reinstall the application. (Did that.)
You may also need to boot from the Mac install CD to do a Disk Repair and
Repair Permissions.(??)" And other such instructions.
So I think I'm packing this up to return to Amazon. This is the first
product I've returned in nearly ten years of using Amazon regularly. From
the television and other media ads, I never thought I would have technical
problems using the program.

Excellent Superior Product, May 9, 2008

As German is already a second language for me, my review of this product
is written with this additional view point. Having said that: my ability to
quickly process the Dutch Grammer and master what is a transliateration from
Dutch to German was almost immeidate. I would recommend this to anyone who
needs a quick immersion in Dutch, rather than spending money and time on
personal lessons. The issue is discipline and blocking time immeidaltey in
the morning for 45 minutes of lessons, as well as a review during your
lunch.

Rosetta Stone , February 27, 2008

I ordered Rosetta Stone to learn Dutch because my fiance is Dutch and I
want to be able to talk to his family. Rosetta Stone is very easy to use,
and the way they present the material is great because you really remember
it. It's not by memorization, but by association.

So far so good, January 18, 2008
I've done a few Dutch language courses - mostly audio for convenience.
Linkword is fanstastic. Pimsuleur - sucks. I decided to start multi-media as
Linkword essentially ran out at level 2 (and per the above - forget
Pimsuleur) and the next set of material available was mostly multi-media.
Given the way Rosetta Stone jumps into the material (as I have previous
experience) I am confident I will be learning new things right away.

So my wife is Dutch and I have been using this here and there as I am
moving in a few months. I get home from work I spend about 20 minutes every
other day, but I have to say so far this product is helping me a lot. I get
to surprise my wife here and there with what I have learned and she is
helping me with the pronunciation as it is not quite right. I would
recommend this for anyone who is just starting out. The hardest part is the
fact that the Dutch have created a variety of words that only work in Dutch.
You can not translate these words.... |
