Does rosetta stone work?

Was thinking of picking up italian because I work for an italian based company. It would help immensely working with tech support.

Its OK, I prefer (and use) Tell Me More. It jumps more quickly into whole phrases and games, seems to keep my attention more.

Download the torrent and try for yourself. I did 2 of them before I went to Italy and it helped me tremendously.

I have the spanish version I used it for about a day and just quit. I just wanted to learn a second language as I find it's sad that most americans can only speak one language while the rest of the world usually speak two or more.

Well Im suprised you didnt have a chance to become fluent considering you live in Florida.

Thats what I did. Glad I didnt pay $900 for that crap. Dumped that spanish version after a few hours.

It works very well but it spends a long time just telling you basic words ....like it was said above its hard to keep going until it gets to the phrases etc.

HA! Why do they speak another language? Most of the United States population does not interact with others speaking a foreign language. You will learn that if you try learning a language where you don't have anyone to speak to (don't even try and say forums count) you will lose interest. How ofter do you speak Parseltongue?

Truth. You pretty much have to keep speaking it in order to keep it fresh. I took German collectively (Lutheran schools and high school etc) for like 6 years and can barely say a full sentence anymore, but still remember the words meanings OK.

i'm the same way, took french all throughout highschool, could hold a conversation, nowadays you'll get a blank stare and a merci, monsieur....

You sound like an outgoing, ambitious, hardworking individual.
