Simply a Brilliant Computer Language Program! I am very happy to write a review for Rosetta Stone German Levels 1-5. I am currently on Level 4 of the German program just shy of Level 5, and I recently went on a cruise to the Southern Caribbean. Of all places, it turned out that about 35% of the cruise ship was booked by Germans. I spent half of my time on the cruise ship running into Germans and speaking German to them. Not only were they extremely surprised to hear an American speaking their native tongue, but they were very happy to practice their German back with me! I have to give credit to Rosetta Stone for putting together such a fantastic product. I also purchased Spanish 1-5 (and I am on level 4 as well). Believe me, there is time in the day to do two languages at the same time with Rosetta Stone. I believe one of the many strengths Rosetta Stone has is the way they have filtered out the language into the important vocabulary one will need to succeed in the language; this aspect, followed with the ease of use, and the dynamic immersion it incorporates, makes it one of the best computer language learning softwares out there on the market today! If you already have a foundation in the language then you can take your skills to a whole new level as well. I am also an Attorney and I plan on doing some videos on my website in Spanish and look forward to expanding my Spanish skills with the program. April 7, 2010

German this is a great opportunity to learn a new language. August 28, 2011
Excellent Learning Tool The Rosetta Stone product is an excellent learning tool. It uses pictures and native speakers to give the user a natural learning expersience much like emersion in a different culture. It is an excellent product. I was speaking little bits of German in the first day, and remembered it!! July 3, 2011
Wunderbar! I have a Bachelor of Arts in German from Purdue University, but since I graduated many years ago, I had lost some of my vocabulary skills and fluency. I had a good experience with Rosetta Stone in French preparing me for a trip to Paris (my travel companions called me a walking advertisement!), so I decided the best way to get back in top form was to buy the full German set. I am so pleased with how quickly everything is coming back to me. I am also amazed at the new online tools, especially the Studio Sessions. I have done two of them and was excited to be learning from native speakers. My last session ended up being a private lesson since the two other scheduled students did not join. I had a lovely chat with a woman from Hamburg and she was very complimentary of my German skills (which I appreciated!). I also enjoy the individual games - especially the Buzz Bingo. I find it a challenge to click on all the words as I hear them. It keeps me on my toes. Thanks Rosetta Stone! May 3, 2011
From a Life-Long Dream to Reality I was so saddened last Christmas to realize that the language barrier between me and my German relatives kept them from understanding the Christmas letter I had sent. Would I never be able to easily communicate with them? Would there always be an impassable barrier? I had tried learning German on my own, but failed. When I sent away for the Rosetta Stone course I still was not sure I could succeed. But I am succeeding. Finally that seemingly impassable barrier is melting away with every session in my own private and on-line classrooms. Not only am I gaining the vocabulary and grammar skills I need, I am also gaining confidence, and with that still greater motivation. I see and hear a real difference in my ability to express myself. My mother's native tongue is now starting to roll easily off my own tongue, the barrier is no longer impassable. Thank you, Rosetta Stone! April 25, 2011
Amazing!! I bought the German Rosetta Stone because I needed to learn German quickly and painlessly! I am extremely happy with the results! I simply practiced everyday, and I have gotten farther than a years worth of college lessons. I would recommend this to anyone!! It has made my life so much easier! April 21, 2011
So easy, a caveman can do it! I was always intimidated to learn a language. I struggled in High School classes and did not remember much. So I was skeptical about Rosetta Stone. Everyone told me how good it is, so I gave it a shot. I needed to learn German for a job I really wanted that required German language skills. Well, after the first session, I was hooked. It was so simple. Things just stuck in my head, without the need to push my brain to memorize. They just stayed in my head. Recollection was so simple, it became second nature. I definitely recommend Rosetta Stone to anyone. It is money well spent and it works faster than you think. April 13, 2011
Finally learning German! After taking Spanish classes in high school and college I had bought Rosetta Stone to finally learn Spanish because I like to travel and at work I need to use Spanish often. Fortunately, Rosetta Stone enabled me to be comfortable at an intermediate level with native Spanish speakers. I had always wanted to learn German , because that was the language of my ancestors. After visiting Germany for the third time, I finally decided that I had to learn the langauge. As of now, I am done with 1.5 out of 5 levels. I feel comfortable with some basic conversation, but I know I have a long way to go. I think this is the best way for me to learn German, and it is also the most efficient because I can do it on my own schedule. The program is very fun, it is like an addictive computer game. Once I am done, I will go back to Germany to assess my learning and capabilities. If you are serious about learning German this is probably the best way to do it other than moving to a German speaking country. Auf Wiedersehen! April 13, 2011
Great Product Very intuitive and well thought out, makes learning much simpler and more engaging than typical memorization. Great product. April 10, 2011
By far the best Truly a revolutionary and natural way to learn a language. The next closest thing to being dropped off in that country. Rosetta stone is the first to understand how we truly learn to speak language and have created a program that provides immediate immersion into the language. It's not about learning about a bunch of vocabulary definitions and grammar structure. It's about looking at an apple and your brain not just immediately recognizing at as an 'apple' but also 'der Apfel' in German for example. I highly recommend the product if you're serious about learning a new language. April 9, 2011
Love the Software! This program is amazing. I love working with it. I have been studying for the last few weeks, and I can say my German has greatly improved. My boyfriend also uses the software, and he is really beginning to be able to have small conversations with me. (A great improvement from not speaking German at all.) April 8, 2011
Fun, exciting and I'm speaking German! At first I was hesitant about the price, but I had previously bought just the German Level 1 and was so excited about how much German I was learning that I wanted to continue. I absolutely LOVE the new version 4 Totale! There are so many ways to get involved with the language that it is never boring. I connect with other German learners, play games in German with them, or I can play by myself. The best game is Buzz Bingo, because it's challenging and trains your ear to pick out words found on the bingo card. An excellent idea! The live online classes with German speakers are invaluable. I had a huge smile on my face during my first class - I couldn't believe we were all speaking German for 50 minutes! I really look forward to each class. German is my 3rd foreign language. I learned French and Italian after many years of school and practice. I've taught both languages, and I know what it takes to learn a language - real immersion and dedication. Rosetta Stone Totale makes this easy! I especially enjoy practicing my German wherever I go with the audio practice that I've put on my iPhone. While on vacation I continue learning and practicing with this audio and also the iPhone App. It's so great to review anywhere! From my prior language learning experiences, I know that after 3 months I am speaking more German than I did the other languages after 3-4 years of classroom work. I now write to a number of my German friends in German and I can even understand their letters to me! I've been enthusiastically recommending Rosetta Stone Totale to all my friends! I love it and in the future I will pick another language to learn - it's that easy!!! And in the end? It was well worth the price - definitely a keeper! April 8, 2011
Unique Brain Stretcher I studied German in college, have used several German learning programs, and lived in Germany for three years, but I've never learned German like this before. I'm only in the first module and it's already stretching my brain in new directions. It feels good and burns up lots of energy! April 8, 2011
my experience since first unit of level Hello, I have to say that this course is the ultimate tool when learning a new linguage is concerned. When I was a teenager, I studied French for a year only at school with a very similar method and the basic french I speak and still remember today when I go to a place where this linguage is spoken, is still that french from 1989, that means more than 20 years ago and I can still communicate even without touching any french book ever again. That was because of the very good method. But that was inside a classroom. With this Rosetta course, the method is very similar, no translation, lots of pictures in the home course and in the online part of it, the linguage you're learning is the only one spoken from the very beginning of the first lesson. They make you feel confortable enough to unleash your first words learnt for sure. This online studio feature is just awesome. I really felt like inside a classroom due to the excellence of the studio teacher. And all this we can have at our home. i'm learning German now and I have to say this course is very pleasuringly addictive. Bye. Anderson. April 8, 2011
We Love Rosetta Stone! I'm applying to graduate school, so I decided to learn Greek and Latin with my homeschooling son. We absolutely love it! The program's fast, easy, rewarding, and super fun. I feel confident that I will be sufficiently fluent by the time I'm interviewed, and I've seen him "playing" with Rosetta Stone in his spare time. Thank you; I couldn't be happier! April 8, 2011
great investment I bought this for my daughter in the 9th grade and didn't realize that we could start different users so now our whole family is using it. She is going to be an exchange student next year near Stuttgart and this is allowing her to move faster than she can in class. We are really enjoying learning and talking to each other, and just from what we have already learned, we want to learn more to be able to speak more fluent! This was the best thing we could do as a family! Thanks!! April 7, 2011
Good at what it does The current advertisements for Rosetta Stone reference "learn like a baby" and that is precisely how it is structured. It leads the learner through basic nouns, verbs, and adjectives as it builds understanding. However there are those of us who are primarily visual learners and find written explanations vital to the learning process. This is especially true, for example, in the appropriate use of der, die, and das. I'm still tripped up by these articles in the grammar sections. Overall, however, I'm very happy with the progress I've been able to make. I started with no knowledge of German at unit 1 level 1, and am now halfway through the entire course, having just finished unit 2 in level 3. April 7, 2011
Challenge in the Fall As I enter into the "FALL" of life, this endeavor has presented me with an interesting challenge - to embrace and understand not only a new language, but a people and their culture. Unfortunately, my cognitive abilities trail behind my desired response time. I am, however, learning to relax with learning. This is an enjoyable task that usually finds the clock speeding beyond its normal capabilities - what time is it now?! My company position requires a great deal of travel, mostly domestic, and that interferes with my ability to be consistent with my lessons. But, I recently found out this wonderful program "understood" that I was absent for about 10 days and we resumed with a review cycle that was very helpful. Beginning this quest was the right thing to do - it's at my pace and what I learn, I have learned. Am I ready for a visit to Deutschland? I am confident that I could survive in communicating the basic essentials, but at this point, I'm glad they also speak Englisch - my responsibilities will most likely bring me to Deutschland within 12 months. By then, it'll be more than just Guten Tag! April 7, 2011
Fabulous approach to learning I purchased this course as a refresher to my high school studies and was thrilled to find the process more comprehensive and thorough than the memorization method. Great product! April 7, 2011
Fun fun fun Rosetta Stone has made language learning fun, fun, fun! April 7, 2011
Great product I have been amazed at the progress I have made using this method. I never dreamed this would be so easy, fun, and effective. I would recommend Rosetta Stone to anyone that wants to learn a new language. My husband is a native speaker, and he is dumbfounded at how quickly I am learning German. April 7, 2011
Surprisingly Simple I really wasn’t sure how it would be learning a new language through a computer program but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I bought Rosetta Stone after I did a demo online and even in that short demo I had already learned new words. The setup of the program makes it easy to learn fast, but also allows you to go at your own pace which is really nice. I can learn when I want for however long I want, something you can’t get with a classroom setting. April 7, 2011
A great method I really enjoy learning with Rosetta Stone - German. It has been a couple of years since my last language class, and I have been looking for ways to get back into it. I always had the problem that when I'd try to learn a language, all I accomplished was very fast translation instead of a real fluency. I feel that Rosetta Stone is really helping me to change the way I think about a new language and give me a better command of the language. April 7, 2011
Great Buy Using Rosetta Stone is a good software to help anyone that wants to know/speak/identify a different language. I always wanted to speak German all my life and this is the software to use for that purpose. April 7, 2011
Excellent resource! The methods used by this course are amazingly intuitive, connecting one's natural tendency to use context as a cue for the meaning of words one doesn't yet know, requiring a modicum of extra thought in a few places, but flowing with a game-like fluidity in most places. In other words, it hardly seems like work at all to use the course, yet I find I retain the skills I gained on prior lessons even if I get too busy to use the course for a week or two. April 7, 2011
Simple as 1,2,3... Our company has a Business unit in Germany, part of my job is to interact with our German employees. To be honest, I was worried, I had 2 years of Spanish in High School and I have not retained much. I brought Rosetta home and started going through the program, to my delight it was fun, I felt alittle silly while trying to pronounce some of the words but that became easier and I went forward. My 16 yr old daughter became interested as she was listening to me and started doing it with me. I am surprised how quickly it clicks. Yes, I am just beginning and it is getting harder as I go but I am impressed on how it keeps you interested and pulls you along. I giggled while doing it because while your learning you start thinking in that language, it is a great program and my daughter wants one for her spanish that she is learning in High School. April 7, 2011
Excellent product and fun! So far this has been an excellent experience. The program is quite enjoyable going through the lessons and playing the different games. Best way to learn a language. April 7, 2011
Easy to use and to learn the language I found the way in which the software teaches you to be very beneficial to my style of learning. April 7, 2011
Another Opportunity I am currently a global business strategist for a supply chain logistics company. However, this wasn't always the case. Whilst struggling through grad school, I took various jobs, one being a Spanish/Italian teacher at a private high school. I started learning a different language besides my native tongue when I was 12 years old. I quickly fell in love and now speak six languages, going on my seventh and eighth. I can honestly say, from someone who has B.A.'s in a foreign language and has taught foreign languages in a classroom setting, that Rosetta is the number one language learning tool that I have ever seen. I have recommend it to my friends, colleagues, and previous students, who were overjoyed with the results they obtained through the program. I have learned that the best way to master a language is through immersion. Rosetta Stone's technique to teach a language from the basics as a native would learn from birth is unbelievable and a brilliant concept. I am currently utilizing Rosetta Stone German and have been practicing with friends. They are impressed by my pronunciation and vocabulary. It's all thanks to this program. I would highly recommend it to any Executive, VP, or general diverse culture lover who wants to enhance their international vibe. December 2, 2010
