Customer Reviews of Rosetta Stone German Explorer

A great way to try the best language learning software
This is by far the best language learning software out there for the DIY language learner. It uses total immersion without any English (this is a good thing). I own the full length courses for both Russian and German 1 and 2, and while it was no small investment, it was definitely worth it. The Rosetta Stone software is like the Pimsleur tapes in that it's the best of its kind and you get what you pay for. I bought this program to try it and passed it on to a friend when I bought my full courses.

Again, this is great software but you won't acheive any level of fluency with the abbreviated programs. But since the larger programs are extremely expensive, it's a good way to see if you like the system before you take the big plunge and spend the bucks on the full courses.

Nice Program, Best of German Language Products I've Tried
I've purchased many German language products (several types of software). This was the first software that made "sense" to me and actually seemed to be effective. The product seems very professional in it's design. Actually, after purchasing this through Amazon, I decided to spend quite a bit more and purchase the German I and II series. I recommend buying this software to see if it is effective for you. If so, purchase the Rosetta Stone Series I (or I and II). You'll be able to see if this software works for you before you spend quite a bit more to get the full blown training package (which you can also purchase through Amazon). I agree with other users who say that the software can be improved. For example, I do agree that the definite articles should be with every word on the screen you're viewing. However, I must say that this is still the best software I've come across so far. I think it is an excellent starter course for anyone wanting to learn German. Definitely keep a dictionary close by (German/English). The program throws you right into the language without English speakers giving assitance. This is effective, but can be challenging if you trying to learn a new word. Actually looking up words in a dictionary helps re-inforce what your viewing and learning. Great program, worth the inexpensive price.

Very good product.
I'm German and we bought this product for my fiancee who doesn't know any German. It starts with really simple things and uses repetition to get the point across, and then adds on slowly. Pictures help you with visualizing and remembering words better. We have tried other CD-roms that were very difficult, but this one is great and fun.
