How to use Rosetta Stone software to learn foreign languages (1)

51 these days to get back home, things are more and more, has not been time to update the blog. Finally have some time this evening, is that how to use Rosetta Stone to learn the language. Rosetta Stone software currently supports 30 languages, but all of the language interface are the same, not what language you learn is that this software uses the same method. I intend to write a series of articles, talk about themselves in the process of using this software, some of the problems encountered, and today is the first.

The software of the biggest advantages is that the image directly through the grammar and vocabulary to understand the meaning, rather than directly to improve the language comprehension mandatory recitation of things. Through the training of "fast brain" of the subconscious and intuition to reflect, as natural as learning language learn foreign language!
First, note that I am not an expert, just an ordinary user's identity for some of my feelings. In fact this software is very simple, if you read again the detailed help files and user guides, essentially to solve most of your questions. Repeat once again, after you installed the software, not the emergency to use, I suggest you put the software help files and user guides to read it again, and then start using the software.

This series of articles refer to the official web site and software help, user guide, if you have read the help files and user guides can basically do not need to read this article.

Rosetta Stone software, there are two versions, namely V2 and V3. I only used the V2, recently started using V3. To begin with the following key from the V2.
Often someone will ask to what level I should learn from? 1 and 2 respectively, what?

1 level for the first time that exposure to the language, or almost no prior contact with the language of the people. 2 level is more suitable for contact with the language and want to further improve the vocabulary and grammar skills of the people.
1: a course has eight units, 92 courses, 200 hours, 3500 pictures real life scenes and dialogue, the local standard of our mother tongue, so you can start from zero base!
2: 2 courses with 11 units, 118 courses, 250 hours, 4500 pictures real life scenes and dialogue, allowing you to success! 1 level for the first time that exposure to the language, or almost no prior contact with the language of the people. 2 level is more suitable for contact with the language and want to further improve the vocabulary and grammar skills of the people.

The above is the official reply, but my personal feeling is the best school from a beginning, the core of this software are: Deep and word / number -> phrase -> simple sentence -> Grammar - > complex sentence. Starting from level 1 studies, beginning very simple, very easy to learn, and it is based on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in four languages, and began to learn, to discover their own weaknesses and begin to correct. Although I read the 3rd grade no problem, but said / read / write can not. I start from the first grade, reading can be passed, but to listen and write, can be in front of the seventh and eighth unit cell, there are many, many classes are not finish, starting from the sixth class. "Reading" is even worse, from the beginning of Lesson 4, after the computer is always read through, however, took some time to meet. Of course, if your English is better than I can completely from the second grade or third grade started. rosetta stone spanish
Or better recommended V3, V3 software, voice production into the core, and more systems to explain the grammar and letters, especially the voice of other languages do better in this respect, stronger than many V2.
