Assuming you mean this Rosetta Stone: http://www.rosettastone.eu/ http://www.rosettastone.eu/ . I used it for a while a few years ago (they have an online version now, can't comment on that). I haven't used much other learning programs besides Memrise http://www.memrise.com/ http://www.memrise.com/ (which I use now to learn various writing systems). So for what it's worth: I got through the first level of Russian and Japanese, and halfway through the second level of Russian. I'd say you get a decent feeling for the language, more than I got from other attempts to learn languages. However, it never tells you _why_ something is this or that way, you always have to figure that out for yourself. For a lot of things that doesn't matter, but I kept confusing the two counting words that are used in Japanese and it didn't give a clear reason as to why you should use this one with this and that one with that. I think it'd work well on a tablet or so, since it uses only large buttons, but back then touch screens weren't so common yet so I had to use a mouse. I think I'd like it more if I had a tablet computer to use it on. There's all kinds of fancy features like a form of speech recognition to test if you actually pronounce it properly, but I haven't used that so I can't comment on that either. As whether it's worth the price, cough I can't comment on that. Also depends on how you have to spent ofc.
