The Rosetta Stone Spanish is a language course with a method that is now being used even in schools and organizations.

Customers find the course very effective because of its unique immersion technique. The course teaches the language in the same way that you learned your native language. It is also more fun and fulfilling to most of the customers because they find the system very easy to follow.

The difference of this course from the way other language materials are designed, is it will not require you to memorize. Instead, it focuses on the natural process of learning just like when you first started speaking.

In each lesson, you will be given interactive activities which will give you feedback before you proceed to the next level.

What makes learning the Spanish language easy using the Rosetta Stone Spanish is that it would not teach you how to translate the thought. It will teach you how to think in Spanish and from there, you will be able to speak the language. It focuses on the natural learning process which doesn't require too much work. This product comes with an audio CD which you can listen to anywhere. There is also an online version of the lesson. The only problem experienced by some customers is when you use it with Windows Vista, apparently there are some bugs but they are currently working on it.

"Pimsleur is easy to use and the immediate gratification of being able to carry on a conversation helps you continue on learning."
Portion of actual expert comment on speakalanguage.com

Spanish Pimsleur Language Course is top rated among many other all audio CD courses. By using the technique of repetition, the course helps the learner to become familiar with the pronunciation, diction and syntax of the Spanish language.

Being an all audio language course, it undermines the importance of reading and writing. The course fails to utilize the more effective visual media in the learning process hence limiting the effectiveness of the program.
