<p>How effective is Rosetta Stone? I'm a freshman planning on teaching myself French starting this summer. I am currently taking Spanish at school and also fluent in 2 other languages.</p>
<p>If you didn't like Rosetta stone, what other methods do you recommend?</p>
<p>Rosetta Stone is very effective.</p>
<p>As long as you already know Greek, learning Hieroglyphics should be a breeze.</p>
<p>Rosetta Stone is okay… My friend learned French from Rosetta Stone from the basics and will be entering French 3H (just from Rosetta Stone).</p>
<p>If you are really interested in becoming very proficient in French, and want to have fun check out AJATT(dot)com.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback! Have you guys heard of the Pimsleur method? I’ve heard that’s also effective as well but it emphasizes conversational skills instead of solely focusing on vocal</p>
<p>Pimsleur looks ridiculously boring. While I think Rosetta Stone has its faults, I think one of the most understated benefits it offers is engagement- it will hold your attention better than any other method.</p>
<p>I tried the demo and Rosetta Stone seems fun. Is the $$ worth it, and if not are there places that sell it cheaper?</p>
<p>^Check out Craigslist. I personally preferred Pimsleur, since Rosetta Stone just pitches vocabulary at you.</p>
