Rosetta Stone - Reviews and experiences

Pretty disappointing overall. A coworker sent me the link so I gave it a shot, but the site is clunky and every click steers you back to a sales pitch. I bought the live tutorials — most didn’t load, though a couple small tips were actually useful.

Halfway through my coffee break I realised the app kept sending me the same tiny exercises — the ones I already get almost every time (about 98% right). Good for quick practice, but frustrating when you want to move on. I wish it was easier to pick level or exercise type. Took me a bit, but I’m mostly happy.

you have to follow the set plan and it doesn't let you jump around, and I kept having to remember where I stopped. First impression was positive overall, glad it worked out despite that clunky progress view.

I was midway through a commute, trying to pull up a quick lesson on my phone, when the app told me I had to log out of my laptop first — even though I hadn’t used it in days. The phone experience itself is fine, the lessons load and the interface feels clean, but being blocked like that is really annoying when you’re on the go. I needed this for short practice during travel and for my sore back I prefer to move around, not sit at a desk, so mobile access matters. It would be simple to let people sign in on more than one device or auto-logout after inactivity. I filled out the feedback form about it and haven’t heard back, which made me shrug and keep using it anyway. Not perfect, but useful once you’re actually logged in.

As someone who loves languages, I was really looking forward to giving this language learning software a try. But man, let me tell you, it was a total mess. The stupid screen kept freezing all the time, making it super hard to actually use the program. And on top of that, some words and phrases were being said all wrong, which drove me crazy. Even though the platform had some cool features like immersive learning and a structured approach, those problems seriously held me back from getting anywhere.

I really like this app because it lets me learn German whenever I feel like it, even if I only have 10 minutes to spare. Since I'm retired and have a lifetime subscription, I can take my sweet time with it. It really gives me the feeling that I'm right in Germany whenever I'm using it!

To be honest, I was really close to giving this product a 5-star rating, but there are a few things that are holding me back. Once I get the hang of how each lesson works, I have no problems with the program. However, there's not much guidance on what they're expecting from me, so I end up having to guess my way through the lessons. It would be really helpful to have a simple guide for each type of question to make the learning experience better. As an older person who's not great with technology, I struggle with things like opening or unzipping files, which makes the whole process more complicated than it should be. I'm starting to wonder if a 4-star rating might be a bit too generous, considering my situation.

The way this language learning program teaches is pretty good, with lessons that make sense and lead into each other. But, I gotta say, the system for moving around and keeping track of progress is kinda hard to figure out and not very easy to use. You have to stick to a specific plan and finish every lesson, without being able to focus on what you're most interested in. It can be annoying to have to keep track of where you left off, especially if you wanna go back to certain topics or exercises.

The online language learning program works pretty good and helps me learn without needing translations. But the app on my phone is a bit tricky to use - it's not very user-friendly, making it hard to pair up phrases with pictures and getting me frustrated. Plus, the speech recognition feature on the app is not the best, it keeps showing errors and that makes learning less fun. I mainly rely on my iPhone for language learning, so these problems are making me think about cancelling my subscription. I'll keep an eye on how the app does for the next little while before I make a final choice.

Lately, I've been using this language learning app to freshen up my French before heading to Paris. I've tested out a few other language apps before, but always had trouble moving past basic words. What I like about this new program is how it really hones in on speaking and pronunciation drills. The visuals are pretty cool too, though a bit tricky to see on my tiny phone screen. One thing I've noticed is that the app is pretty forgiving of slip-ups, which has really helped me feel more comfortable speaking out loud.

I've tried out a bunch of different language learning apps before, but nothing beats the way this language learning software works. It's so efficient and effective. Teaching vocabulary and grammar through pictures and sound really speeds up the process of learning a new language. Plus, the app is super easy to use and the macOS software is top-notch. I'm happy with my lifetime subscription and can't wait to tackle more languages down the road.

The language learning program is pretty good overall, eh? The lessons are clear and there are interactive activities to help me improve my understanding. But, here's the thing - I've run into a bit of a frustrating problem with the voice recognition. My microphone works fine for everything else, but with this program, the voice recognition is hit and miss. It keeps saying it's working fine when it's not! This means I end up spending more time trying to figure out what's wrong and dealing with tech issues than actually learning the language, eh? It's frustrating, eh?

I just started using this app, and it's alright, I suppose. I was kind of hoping I could use it while I'm driving like some of those other apps, but that's a no-go. And sometimes it doesn't even pick up my voice, even when I'm right by the mic!
