+1

I use it to learn Spanish (Latin American) and it has become an invaluable tool. I have it installed on all my computers, laptops, and netbook - (torrent file shouldnt be hard to find)

Por supuesto, Rosetta Stone es el mejor!

If you do the torrent thing... Be careful because EVERY one i've come across has trojans. I run it in a dedicated VM that has no NIC.

how long does it take an average personusing rosetta stone to learn the new language and be able to speak it somewhat fluently

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2011, 08:41:21 PM »

Depends on several factors, such as: have you learned more than 1 lingo at early age, are you studious, are you musical, etc

I find that being multilingual at a younge age assists very much with proper accent with new languages.

Why would someone wander if they aren't lost?

If the answers to the factors are no, yes and no. How long do you think it'll take? (if you know anyone that did it)

72 days and 3 hours.
