Review of Rosetta Stone v4 TOTALe

Rosetta Stone sets its learning program up so users can learn at their own pace. Lessons are placed in chapters and cover a variety of material. Rosetta Stone TOTALe breaks things down into three sections, the Rosetta Course -the learning program itself, Rosetta Studio - the internet tutoring environment, and Rosetta World - the community with games to help you, you and a different person learning the same language, and you and a person learning your native language.


Learning vocabulary, sentence structure, and putting it together 
When you start off they'll tell you about a photo from a boy. Afterwards they'll have you click on the picture of a boy, displaying the words and saying the word to you. After following the same steps for some other words (girl, juice, water, man, woman, etc.) they will then tell you about a photo of a boy drinking water. You'll discover that since you found out the words for water and boy, you have now just learned the sentence structure for “The boy is drinking water”. After awhile this gets very comprehensive till you somehow get to the point where you find more complex sentences having a large vocabulary.

The writing, listening and speaking portion:
You are going to have a keyboard displayed up on the screen. This lets you practice writing words and spelling them. During your normal learning, you're going to be stopped frequently to concentrate and repeat words and phrases back. As you speak them Rosetta Stone will grade you on how well you pronounced the word and how good your accent is. You will find different varieties of sensitivity you can choose from the options. This lets you improve your accent on time.

Conclusion:
Rosetta Stone just get better. They are cleaning up their language packs to get better continuously. With older versions, the sentences you learned use to sound way more awkward and may also be rude. These latest features are certainly welcome and help address weaknesses associated with older versions. This program is definitely more challenging than learning by a text book, or by a tape.
