Rosetta Stone Greek (Language Software)

Rosetta Stone Greek 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)

I can't believe it is so good!, February 8, 2008

Wanna be" (Coral
Gables, FL United States) |
This is a very clever and very easy way to learn Greek. I can't believe
the vocabulary I have learned since using it only 3 weeks. I am commited to
this product and wish when I was younger there was somethng like this on the
market.
It is actually fun doing the exercises and my Greek born husband is so proud
of me! |

Well worth it!, November 29, 2007
The Rosetta stone is well worth the money! I was very skeptical about
this product. However, once I loaded it in the computer I was off to a
running start. It is so much easier to retain the information with words,
sounds, and pictures with an interactive format.
I highly recommend this product to anyone trying to learn on their own, or
to supplement currant foreign language classes (like I am doing). I surprise
my Greek teacher with extra words and phrases in each class.
If you want to learn a foreign language quickly, BUY THIS PRODUCT! |

Try it, February 9, 2008

here" (Chicago IL

The complete Greek alphabet is unavailable on most computers in the USA;
in other words, the only real problem with this software involves learning
how to write as well as one may speak, listen, or read the language upon
completion. The program helps one increase his or her vocabulary by making
the differences that exist between speaking and reading much clearer. |

I was using a different online language site prior to the purchase of the
Rosetta Stone software. This software really helps you to speak the language
easier because it shows the gender of words with use instead of memorizing
the gender of the words. Also, it is very easy to nagivate on the software.

useful, but with limitations and a bit pricey, August

This can be quite useful to get the first feeling about the language as
well as a surprisingly good tool for building up a basic vocabulary.
However, it isn't a self-sufficient material for language learning - almost
certainly you will need additional textbook(s) and/or teacher.
One, often noted, shortcoming of Rosetta Stone materials is complete lack of
cultural context (the same set of pictures is reused for quite a number of
languages). Still, the things are probably not as bad as they might be,
since anhyway the main thing you will learn from this is vocabulary and not
the skills at casual conversations (although the overrepresentations of some
words, which probably are hardly used elsewhere but american english (e.g.
"cowboy"), is a bit annoying). And apart from just having little use, such
borrowed nouns usually also tend to be indeclinable in Greek!
A more important limitation, probably, is organization/ordering of pictures
- beeing the same for a number of languages it is hardly the best for
demonstrating the most important grammatical features of a particular
language (such as tenses, declinations etc).
The bottom line - if you can get your hands on it, I would recommend at
least to have a try. The official price tag, however, seems to be far too
inflated for what these materials really contains - will not recommended
buying without trying first and seeing, whether this really suits you. |
