I believe they have a free demo cd you can get for free by calling or maybe download somewhere.
That being said i have tried it and im very impressed by it. if you have the time to do the lessions i do believe it would work and be easy. It does however take a fair amount of time. i think the first set of lessions was like 90 hours or something.
The way it works is they have someone that speaks the launage fluently and show you the matching picture of the word then later they show you 4 pictures and say the word or phrase and have you pick the matching picture. I messed around with the japanese one for like 20 min once about 5 months ago just out of bordom and i still remember the words and phrases enough to recognize them when i hear them. so it does work you just need the motivation to use it. I really wish schools would use this software. maybe then students here in the US might be able to speak more then just english. like almost every other country on the planet.
Im pretty sure if you go to torrentspy.com and search for rosetta stone they will have the free demo cd software that they send you free if you call them or whatever. At least you can try it that way to see if you like how it works.
