Total E Purchased Italian Level 1-5 as Christmas present. Did not use the online services until 1.5 to 2 months into taking the computer sessions. I did not understand that this service was provided for a limited time, then offered as a service for fee after the initial trail period. I was not prepared for online services until I felt confident with my progress. By the time I was ready to use the online service, it was no longer available except for additional cost. The online service should be initiated by the user instead of beginning automatically at log in. The subscription expired before I was ready to use the service. May 28, 2013

Excellent! I bought this to learn some Italian for my vacation this simmer and I'm already making excellent progress! I can see why everyone loves Rosetta Stone! March 22, 2013

Wonderful Hi, I'm a bit young but languages have been a part of my childhood, and this is my 6th language, and it's working great! I love it! I'm going to study in Italy next year, but I've wanted to learn Italian for quite some time now. This will be my final romance language, and things are coming out really well, especially with the help of Spanish and French. Looking forward to August when I leave February 26, 2013

Italian The program where you can be online with others should be made clearer. I signed up and after I was on, I was cut off. I was not ready, but did not know that until after I started the class. This program should start 4 months after receiving the disk to give people time to learn. Most people I believe want to learn but have busy schedules. Rosetta Stone would serve their customers better if they started the online classes later December 29, 2012

Awesome Well, I have been trying to learn italian since I was 11 years old, but I never found a good way to learn until my parents got me Rosetta Stone italian. From the first day I was able to understand some italian and form my own sentences. I had some trouble installing, but the customer service is great. I do get a little confused with some of the words and pictures, but I eventually understand it! I suggest buying a grammar book, and a dictionary to help you out!! Other than this, every thing is excellent. With commitment, and patience, you can learn a new language using Rosetta Stone!!!!!! December 25, 2012

Italian I have been studying italian for 14 months now and I am very pleased with the results! Rosetta Stone helps me communicate with people and learn a new language fast. The only bad thing with Rosetta Stone is that it becomes very difficult to memorize the words and sometimes I don't understand the photo's. I recommend that if you want to learn Italian fluently you should buy a italian to english dictionary to help you memorize and keep tract with the language. Also you must practice every day for an hour, for maybe a year, if you want to speak fluently. Learning a new language is very hard and if you don't have any past experience with any Romance languages, Rosetta Stone will not help you develop an accent in italian. Overall Rosetta Stone is the best product to learn a new language fast and they make it easy to learn new words! December 2, 2012

Speaking Italian in no time! Love the format...the no pressure study of verb conjugations...the interactive nature of the plan.........great customer service as well..... December 2, 2012

Bueno I love using Rosetta Stone. It makes learning fun and creative and their is so much support from other people learning the same language. It makes learning easier when with other people. November 30, 2012

Fun, Engaging and Works. I have been thinking about using Rosetta Stone for some time and have finally committed myself and bought it. I am so happy I did, I am slowly but steadily learning italian, and it's great cause i can do it in my own time at my pace, and it's has convenient features like the ability to use it on my iPad, Rosetta Stone is great I seem my ability and vocabulary growing everyday.

Loving it and Learning! I have been traveling every summer to Italy with my husband (and now kids) the past 15 years. My husbands family is from Italy and he feels very connected to his roots. He speaks Italian well with the help of extensive private turtoring. I do not speak Italian and have always relied on him to translate. I have missed out on so much not being able to communicate with our Italian relatives or just being able to buy a espresso! After our trip this summer, I decided that this was the year I was going to learn Italian! I had tried learning with my husbands tutor but was bored with the "traditional" way of learning. When I heard the Rosetta Stone commercial on the radio I felt the timing was perfect. I ordered the entire series and have been thrilled with the results. The system is easy to use. I just installed it on my computer and I got started. I listened to several live sessions where I learned about how to best use not only the lesson plans but about the socials, online games and live tests with an Italian speaking teacher. I am absolutely motived and determined to be able to communicate in Italian on our trip next summer! November 30, 2012

Everything good, except one small issue This is a marvelous program for learning Italian, I just wish I had more time to sit and enjoy it! My one small issue is that I have a head that is a bit bigger than the maximum setting of the included headphones/microphone unit. This makes them VERY uncomfortable. Rosetta Stone needs to provide an ear-bud option. November 29, 2012

Some features just don't work Have purchased the complete Italian Program and have carefully followed directions to get headset to respond. Despite hours of my best efforts and a new headset, the system still doesn't respond. I give up! November 29, 2012

I'm of Italian heritage (my mother's side) but never took the time to learn the language. First I thought I was too old and secondly I thought I was too dumb. With Rosetta Stone, I not only gained the courage of learning a new language but the confidence of succeeding. Within a few short days of using Rosetta Stone I was conversing and understanding Italian. Just going to the local Italian Restaurant or Pizzaria and ordering and conversing with the owners was a joy. I can't say enough about this program. I only wish that I would have taken it sooner when my Mother was alive to converse with her in her native language. November 29, 2012

Great to start, but lacks follow through First, let me start off by saying that I've never had more fun and experienced such progress in such a short amount of time than with Rosetta Stone. As a recent college graduate, I have a bit of college level Spanish, and high school as well. Learning the basics has come easy, and all the newness is very refreshing. I finished Level One is short time and am half way done with Level Two. It is at this point that I am noticing a lot of the shortfalls to the program. When multiple verbs are introduced, in multiple tenses, it becomes quite tricky to pick out the exact appropriate tense to speak, type, or click when one hasn't singled out practicing the verb tenses outside of the program. For this reason, I suggest that Rosetta Stone add a game to their platform that allows its users to practice soley verb conjugation, and tense identification. Playing this game would allow the user to practice without having to do their Core lessons and Grammar all over, again and again and again. All and all, Rosetta Stone still serves as my main source of learning, with my only other addition being a verb skills practice guide book. Thanks for reading. November 29, 2012

Oh, So That's What That Means! I've had experience with Rosetta Stone before, but this is the first time I've gotten all of the levels like this. It's just awesome. A friend and I are learning it together and we are just having the best time you could imagine--we even try to have our conversations using as much Italian as we possibly know to see if the other person can figure out what we're saying! I love how much easier it is to get help and support as well. It's an amazing program and a wonderful experience whether you're learning by yourself or with a friend. November 29, 2012

Best Language Program I have taken Italian in the past and even studied in Italy. I had a difficult time learning as I continually translated in my mind from English to Italian. I had forgotten a lot of the Italian as it had been 8 years since I had used it. I finally decided to purchase Rosetta Stone and I have been very pleased with my progress. For the first time I am able to understand the language better when I hear it as I am no longer translating which slows down the process. I am finding it much easier to speak in Italian and also remembering the vocabulary. November 28, 2012

A Great, Enjoyable, and Valuable Purchase Rosetta Stone is a natural and enjoyable way to learn a language (Italian, in my case). I spoke to my cousin in Italy recently and I was able to converse with much more fluidity and ease than ever before. I find myself remembering and retaining much more Italian than when I studied it in the traditional way. The people at Rosetta Stone have done a fine job in developing this program. November 28, 2012

After extensive research online and trying another language program, I invested in Rosetta Stone Italian. I couldn't be happier! What a fun way to learn a language. I especially like the online sessions with a live coach. These lessons have made all the difference in cementing what I have learned. I would highly recommend this program. November 28, 2012

So far I am enoying this course, but would prefer to see some changes. It would be nice to be able to review the lessons I have completed without having to re-answer every question - as a means of studying. Also, I would appreciate the ability to choose a preferred instructor for studio sessions - I have found some are easier to learn from than others. It would also be nice to be able to choose a level of learning when playing games to get the most educational value out of them. And lastly, when learning a new language, I am finding that some concepts could benifit from an explination in my native language. If there was a Rosetta Stone learner's guide or workbook as optional material to go along with the software, I would definetly take advantage. November 28, 2012

Great!! I have learned so much and I am amazed at how easy and fun it is! I find that I'm able to retain so much information more than with any other learning tool. Rave reviews for Rosetta Stone!!! November 28, 2012

Quick I'm learning a lot! Quickly. If you just keep up with the program you start learning a lot and retaining it. Try to do lessons a little every day or every other day. If you have to write things down as you go along it will also help with retention. One moment you'll feel like things are getting redundant and then the next second you're introduced to a whole new world of language. It's great! If you keep with it, you'll be well on your way to understanding the language more and more. Also, take advantage of the games and activities. They reinforce what you learn and they're fun! I love it so far! November 28, 2012

Just OK Vocabulary wise, is great. However, it needs more examples to conjugate verbs. I am in level 3, and I am not able to carry a conversation in Italian. Please note: I HATE the fact that TOTALe version expects you to PAY after a couple of moths to access the online content. I purchase the 5 levels, and Rosetta Stone wants me to pay MORE to have the online access to studio sessions and other online stuff. I am very disappointed. If I would have known that, I wouldn't bought it. November 28, 2012

Si molto buona I have always been bad with languages yet with a little time every day with Rosetta stone I am getting somewhere with Italian. I really look forward to visiting Italy again and being able to order food in restaurants that they might not have on the menu. It's fun and it works. Thanks Rosetta stone team November 28, 2012

Finally Learning Italian! I had always had trouble with learning foreign languages in school. It came to a point where I just thought I couldn't do it. But I had a goal of learning Italian and going to Italy one day. So, on a whim, I bought Rosetta Stone Italian after seeing a promotion online. I figured, "Hey, I'll give it a shot." It has been the best purchase I have made this year! You start learning your language so quickly. No memorization. No flashcards. It's really a first class learning tool. And I LOVE the online features with TolalE! I'd recommend it to anyone who has a true desire to learn. November 28, 2012

Rosetta Stone-Italian I am only on level one so far, but I've found the interactive program very easy to use and I'm surprised at how much I've learned in such a short period of time. The program works through every aspect of the language: reading, writing, hearing, and speaking and throws you into it so that you are almost forced to learn the material quickly. It's basically learning a language as if you were a child learning to speak for the first time. You aren't just memorizing--you're actually understanding it. I look forward to learning more! November 28, 2012

Starting Lessons I am overall pleased with the lessons in reading, writing, and speaking so far. The only problem I have had is to be sent to a prompt for scheduling a "chat" which I do not think I am ready to do. The inadvertent prompt takes away time that I could use learning more basic Italian before I progress to the "chat" stage. November 28, 2012

Bella Italia After two trips to beautiful Italy, I'm highly motivated to learn Italian. Rosetta Stone is so much more fun than regular class work, and it is highly interactive with just the right degree of challenge. My goal is to be speaking Italian fluently when a when a friend we met in Italy comes to visit us next fall. November 28, 2012

multi buno We have visited Italy to see my wife's family 4 times and I have only been able to put together a few words, but not in a real sentence. They know I try and put up with me. But this time when we vist in June 2013 I will astound them with my much improved language skills. I will be able to carry on a conversation with the Pope. November 28, 2012

Great Product My husband and I made the purchase because one day we hope to go to Italy!!!! I have finished level 1 and I am amazed at how much I have learned. I am certain that I will be quite fluent by the time we get to travel there. The two things that would make it better for me are 1) to have some English translation for the some of the tense usage of words (he, she, they, etc.), and 2) some explanation as so why how the other words change for tense or plurality. I find myself trying to concentrate on that over learning the words. With that said, I am very pleased with the Rosetta Stone product. Definitely a name to trust!!!! November 28, 2012

Turned from skeptical to suprised When I first looked at the Rosetta Stone program to learn a new language I did what most people do; I read reviews, looked at different types of learning programs and got opinions from friends. Once I decided to give the Rosetta Stone program a try I was a bit skeptical. How could an at home program really help me to learn a new language. Especially when I had tried in formal classes without success. Much to my surprise the program is easy to use and actually works! I have been working with the program for about two months now. I am actually reading, writing, speaking and understanding simple phrases in my new second language of Italian. I strongly recommend this program to others and will keep expanding my new Italian proficiency. Be skeptical like I was and give it a shot. You will be happy with the result. Ciao!.
