Summary: Newbie to French
I've never spoken a lick of French before, but do speak Spanish. This really is a great product. It makes learning the language fun. I don't really know how much I'll retain, but I leave for Paris next week, so we'll see! I wholeheartedly recommend the product. I was very surprised at the depth and creativity.

Summary: Amazing
It's amazing how this product works. It's so effective and easy. I say anyone who wants to learn a new language, pick this item up, it's better than any thing I learned in language class in school.

Summary: Mac User Follow-up
I hesitated on purchasing this program based on the review by the Mac user. I have a MacBook Pro and it didn't sound like it was worth all the trouble. Luckily I purchased it in spite of that review and had absolutely no problems with installation. I double-clicked on the software application and the install went exactly as the instructions described. I can't give a thorough review on the benefits of the product yet because I've only had it a week, but I like the format and ease of use.

Summary: Excellent Learning Experience
A little about me - I studied Spanish in college and was a 4.0 student who was selected for a foreign exchange program in Uruguay because of my academic performance, so I think I know a liitle about learning a foreign language. Many of the reviews I have seen of Rosetta Stone deal with it's difficulty of installation on a Mac or other technical issues. I think this kind of criticism, while perhaps valid, is not the most pertinent information a potential language student needs. Rosetta Stone V3 Level 1 French has been an excellent tool for my son and me to learn basic French, and though we installed our copy on a PC (not a Mac), we have had no technical issues; it could not have been simpler to install. I learned Spanish 30 years ago, before there were computer applications to assist with learning a language, but I am very impressed with the method Rosetta Stone uses, and it is quite similar to the total immersion method by which I learned Spanish all those years ago, albeit with a live instructor and by listening to tapes of native speakers. If you just stay with the program, things that you don't necessarily understand at first become clear as you move through the exercises. I will say that at some point you will want to acquire a French verb conjugation book like 501 French Verbs or equivalent, and probably a used French college textbook, but I estimate that 95% of what is presented can be learned by simply doing the exercises Rosetta Stone presents. One of the best things about the program is the immediate feedback it gives you on both pronunciation and correctness of sentences, and another excellent feature is the "native speaker speech comparison" (that's probably not what RosettaStone calls it); in this feature you can play a native speaker's rendition of a certain French phrase, and then you repeat the phrase and Rosetta Stone evaluates your pronunciation graphically.

Anyway, although I was initially dismayed by the cost of the program, I now feel it was worth every cent.

Summary: a software note
This product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product.
Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection.
