Rosetta Stone is a great learning tool. I have used it for years. As good as it is, though, it's just one tool. Don't forget about more traditional things like workbooks and classes, if they are available to you.

More than anything else, listen to Spanish whenever you can, and speak it when you can set up a partner, preferably a native speaker.

As with most things, the subject becomes "harder" as you get into more complex topics, but that just shows that you are learning more. Stay with it!

Courtney, I think it's sometimes hard to success in any language, if you're only using rosetta, I would say use rosetta, but also try to watch spanish tv series, listen music and read magazines/newspapers in spanish, it will help you A LOT, you need to start thinking in spanish smile

Many times people bag on Rosetta Stone, but it is a good tool. I think people don't like it because it is "expenisve". I don't really find that to be a fair criticism. A one year online subscription is $300. That gives you access to hundreds of hours of lessons. You would get 48 half-hour sessions with a teacher in a virtual class. There are dozens of stories to practice reading. You can play the learning games, both by yourself and with others.

Rosetta Stone isn't going to make you fluent in Spanish by itself. But if you work through the program, you will learn a lot. Combine using Rosetta Stone with other things. Try to practice a little bit every day. You will learn, it just takes time and putting in the effort.

I have just started rosetta stone but I feel that it is an excellent way to learn. I have tried classes previously and I did not retain half as much as using this product.Directly found the good website: http://www.perfectrosettastone.info/
