 New thinking - new learning. Don't get stuck in outdated teaching methods? October 5, 2007
F. T. Swan (uk)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love this learning method. However, it is not for those stuck in traditional thinking that you need to have grammar. It does teach you the same way you were taught your native tongue. This means no grammar; after all if you think about it you could speak your own language perfectly well without either having to look up grammar or translations! This does result in the feeling of oh cripes, I can't see this. If you stick to their method you will get more out of the subject as if they do give enough information to learn it if you think about it. Each part builds on the next. There is a break through. If you are looking at a whole sentence, they give you the words and the picture, then you pick out a word that you know, then it's an ahah! moment and that word expands until it becomes a sentence. Then the other sentences in the section become easy to understand. It teaches you vocabulary in context. Why learn complicated grammar when it comes to you naturally?
The advantage of this is there is no translation so you are more likely to speak it as a native because you are not going yellow um gelb. If you learn by translation you will always be doing this, however quickly. But what if you see a picture of yellow and you know instantly its gelb? You do this from the start.
Works very well at building vocabulary October 1, 2007

As someone else has mentioned, its a vocabulary builder only really. But its the best there is and its easy to fill in the gaps once you've got going.
 Expensive mistake August 4, 2007

This is the worst German course I have bought - also the most expensive. Trying to learn a language through looking at images and trying to identify the correct one didnt work for me. I found using it frustrating, boring,and completely ineffective.If I could rate it zero I would. I learned more from the first disc of Linguaphone's All Talk German CD set at less than half the price, than in the bulk of the Rosetta stone course.
 Vocubulary Builder Only October 26, 2006

This software seems to be almost purely about simply building vocabulary. You'll learn a whole load of nouns for everything from 'man' to 'policeman' and so on. However it doesn't seem to feature much actual sentences or any real learning of the grammer. Also the excercises are very monotonous and tedious.
For example in the first excercises you'll be taken through a whole lot of pictures which make unlikely sentences (in German) like "the boy sits under the aeroplane" and "the ball rests on the boy" as a way of learning the nouns for boy, aeroplane etc.
In itself none of this is particularly bad, the program would probably be a useful vocabulary building aid when combined with other methods (other software, books, classes etc.) of learning the language. If it was marketed honestly as such and priced reasonable, instead of extortionately, it would deserve a much higher rating.
As it is have a look around for other software if you want a complete language learning tool, I settled on Tell Me More German but there may be better ones out there if you look.
could be better value October 15, 2006

The idea behind "total immersion" learning seems to be that you form the connections needed to understand grammatical rules yourself (I.E. you learn in the same way a child). But I am suspicious that it may be an excuse for giving absolutely no guidance to the student, hence saving Rosetta stone a load on developing the product.I have been using this for 2 months and I am making progress but I have had to spend a lot of time going to other sources for information.Rosetta stone do not even provide you with a translation of any of the words used in the exercises!Sometimes it is like banging your head against a brick wall. But having spent so much I feel I mustn't give up. It isn't totally awful but it could and should be a lot better. BE CLEAR HOWEVER, IF YOU BUY THIS THERE IS NO EXPLANATORY INFORMATION ON GERMAN GRAMMAR OR VOCABULARY SUPPLIED. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN AND TO LEARN FROM THIS ALONE WOULD BE VERY, VERY, VERY HARD WORK
