Rosetta Stone



I went to Buy Rosetta Stone in December to help me learn Thai.

Rosetta Stone just Discontinued Thai the month before.

FUCK Rosetta Stone.


Fluenz doesn't offer thai either. Anyone know such a service that does?

Some Swedish guys that really seem to like pirate ships sent me a copy of Rosetta Stone. They would probably send you a copy of the Thai version. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks youse guys... I knew I could count on my WF brethren to either find the legal or non-legal goods when I needed them.

This time you've delivered both. You guys complete me. :thumbsup:
 
I own Japanese 1, 2 and 3. I've only ever used 1. That being said... I like it. I feel like I've learned some Japanese. If I were to actually use it as it was intended I think I could speak it pretty fluently with some real world practice.

"That is a nice school girl uniform."
"Is that school girl uniform comfortable?"
"Where can I buy a school girl uniform like the one you are wearing?"
"5000 yen is a fair price. Now, go put on this school girl uniform and shut up."

"Konichiwa! Where are the used panty vending machines?"
 
Rosetta stone sucks ass. It's a gigantic academic circlejerk with outdated pronounciation and vocabulary.

adults SHOULD learn languages like children, which is simply through continuous absorption

FTFY. Best way to learn any language to "Native" proficiency is to learn it like the natives(learn languages like children/ sink or swim you pussy). Organic learning will teach you how to "think" (imo most important thing) in the language you wish to learn. Artificial learning (grammatical rules/school style learning) are how you get robots (indian TA's that have perfect GRE's but cant have a conversation worth shit). If you're looking to learn japanese AJATT is your boy.
 
I have a friend who used this program and actually learned 3-4 languages..I mean he isnt fluent but he definitely knows the language as he passed some pretty hard proficiency tests.

What a great tirade. Two thumbs up.

Just one problem: I'm (re)learning Latin.

So I guess I'll just pussy up since my shitty time machine is broken, making it impossible for "organic learning"

How silly of me not to think of totally immersing myself into a Latin-speaking population in the 21st century.

LOL. Obviously applies only to languages with living populations. Why learn latin though ? I guess it would be a curious challenge to learn a dead language. How would you learn to "think" in latin?
 
I used Pimsleur to learn enough Brazilian Portuguese to feel comfortable traveling in Brazil. I actually translated English to Portuguese for some broad from the UK at a hotel. Sorta amazed myself. I'll look into Fluez for German.

I was just yanking your chain a little.

I'm a history geek and I keep the mind sharp.

Obv. RS isn't going to make me proficient but it will get my proficiency back up at least to where it was in college.
 
I speak german fluently, and wanted to teach my daughter dresden. I downloaded it and didn't like it all to well. Personally I read the berlitz stuff. I think the best approach to learning a language would be to imagine you were 5 and going to kindergarten or first grade. Maybe getting some coloring books with shapes and shit, like visual learning? Maybe that approach would work? That's what I'm doing with her and she's got alot of it down. I talk to her alot in this language, so that may also be it. It's kind of hard when you have no one to talk to or know no one who speaks it. Try to find a "German, Chinese" or whatever the fuck language it is your trying to speak club on facebook (local). I saw a few of those...
