Video Learn to Speak Japanese Fast - Online Rosetta Stone Review by www.oandareviews.com/japanese

[maraphernalia]

Rosetta stone is joke.

[animeOmega125]

This may as well be a commercial, there's no negatives stated even though there ARE negatives to this program.

Commercial vid is a lie.

[animeOmega125]

I'm looking for such resources, but I'm not having any luck...Do you know any good japanese ones?

[jonnyknows]

I'm sure if they lowered the price they'd get more sales xD This is unaffordable for me so I just dowloaded it =\

[PANCHOSEXC]

wer'd u get it

can u let us know(the other viewers) cuz i wanna learn but with out the price

[jonnyknows]

Have some sort of Torrent downloader preferably i like using Vuze. But you can find the torrent on isohunt.

[pumpkinheadjrb]

my friend bought this and said he learned how to speak and read really fast but unless i had a teacher, i would not get in depth learning

[Frylock4eva]

the only thing that sux is the fuckin price - -

[xGlennNgX]

i totally agree

[Zonafia]

wow thanks for the review...of quoting the back of the box.

[blingythingy1994]

the one thing i dont like about rosetta stone is, (after i tried their little demo) it seems a little...indirect. Like, it seems even tho i know what picture the words is referring to i dont know EXACTLY what it means. it doesnt tell you does it? well, it seems a little too expensive now anyway its like 550 dollars for japanese!

[jukijunk]

They did that on purpose. Because its forcing you to know what it means/

[JimmyBrus]

like that kid drinking water was a boy, okonoko. and the glass of water was mezu so you think

okonoko = boy

mezu = water.

and then you know it, kinda like how you learned english as a baby with those books ^.^ ロゼッタ石から私はこの事実を知った , and yes my grammer is probably off if its translated into english somehow. hahaha.

[chibi2666]

Water is Mizu. Not Mezu

[JimmyBrus]

Shut up grammer nazi.

i was tired...

[chibi2666]

Mizu = water

Mezu = you are a dumb ASS

[JimmyBrus]

Go fuck yourself fag

[Lostfaith1980]

Actually hes right.

You slip up is the equivalent of saying is english.

Bear instead of beer.

See the difference? If youw ent upto a friend and said "Hey wheres my bear?" You'd get some weird looks. Pronunciation is extremely important in any language.

[stert]

maybe it's best you have rosetta stone because I don't think a japanese teacher would go for that bullshit lol

[Japcat21]

@blingythingy1994 That's one of the best things about Rosetta Stone is that they don't tell you the translation. Without translations, pictures makes you think and memorize through those pictures, rather than words. I'm guessing this was directed for international use. When you were a baby, learning your first language, your parents didn't compare English to a different language

[animeOmega125]

true, but think how long it took that baby (Womb time counting since you can hear in there) to learn even rudimentary first language.

[Japcat21]

True, but babies are not using Rosetta Stone. I imagine adults with fully developed/motivated brains would be using this program. Therefore, I assume they would learn faster than a toddler learning their first language.

[RAYNHEART]

xD torrent Owns!!!

[joebevis92]

this is the biggest rip off ever all it does is flash some pictures and text at you and thats it

I'm glad i used a torrent

[darklight0x]

what the hell...$209 i saw the commercial it wasn't $209 it was like $50 bucks or something

[thelegendofwiked]

torrents are wrong.

lets say you make a game for two years.

You then come home to find out someone stole your game and now you make a 3rd of what you could have gotten, How would you feel

[JimmyBrus]

Who cares? They program is several hundread dollars either way they're making a shit load of money!

[JimmyBrus]

Oh, and i really wouldn't mind because thats just like free advertising. Here is a true example: My friend torrented this game called Left 4 Dead. I saw him playing it and liked it, he can't play online because it's a crack instead of the game. In result, both of us paid for the game so we can play online against each other.

[narutofan1942]

too bad im only 13 and still live with my parents cuz i realy want to learn japaneese and to get a torrent they would know something is up i barely got away with torrenting halo and since rosetta is $550 for one language...you get the point right?

[JimmyBrus]

I used rosetta stone japanese pack (1 2 and 3) off thepiratebay. Torrents rule.

[LTNO18]

Do you speak Japanese fluently now?

[JimmyBrus]

^.^

[Zonafia]

same =)

[pinecone2654]

Grrr, I can't w8 to finish my PC and start rosetta stone japanese... (and TF2) :P

[Zonafia]

maybe more people would buy it if it weren't so excessively expensive. it would probably be $100 cheaper if it weren't for that stupid 'used by nasa' sticker...

[sunday325]

LOL, I saved $209 or more thanks to bit torrent. I don't remember the last time I paid for software. UTorrent is a good program to use.

[KikuriGORE]

omg its like 300 bucks or more dude

[elitechrstn]

TO EVERYONE THAT CANNOT AFFORD PLEASE LEARN ABOUT TORRENTS AND FIND A TORRENT DOWNLOAD IT AND INSTALL ROSETTA STONE THATS WHAT I DID AND I GOT THE SOFTWARE FREE IF YOU WANNA LEARN ABOUT IT PLEASE MESSAGE ME yes i am a real person its just that this software cost toooooooo much and all you have to do isn go to piratebay(dot)org

[hinaruto4everandever]

o.o i'm to poor.

[prettybones8]

i'm poor, i can't afford it. then again, here comes the great depression

numero dos

[1SkyOneDestiny]

download it. be my guest. I could care less.

[Haeinscute]

Rosetta Stone seems good, but over priced.

[Syeno]

to bad u dont know how to get it for free... sigh* cant help sry

[p3ncilshavings]

bahhh.. why do u idiots buy this stuff when you can dload it for free.

[1SkyOneDestiny]

we won't be the idiots when the police are knocking on your door.

[FutabaUploader]

Cops don't arrest people for illegally downloading music and programs. They have more worrisome things to handle, such as, oh, child pornography.

[1SkyOneDestiny]

Doesn't make it legal.

[FutabaUploader]

Your point?

[guy41415]

no they dont arrest ppl, but i personally know someone who had to pay a rather large fine for illegally downloading music, granted it was a large amount of music

[smeezh]

my dad always taught me to have safe computing

[ipodchik]

Not everyone is too poor to buy it like you are I guess ^^

[p3ncilshavings]

ahem. i live in los altos hills california.

[steffanii]

right, and poverty never existed in the place you live, right?

i agree with the police comment.

[DivineIchigo]

um do we hav to by the thing or is there a website who gives the lessons for free? cause uh im a little short on the money train trrrry all the way at the bac and i RLY wanna learn japanese so if u could be nice plz tell me

[CaptSmokey]

Buy "Before you Know it deluxe edition" and its accompanying product "Language Now" the Japanese versions.

Don't waste your time with Rosetta. They advertise that you learn "as you did with your first language" which basically means "we won't teach you the basic grammar rules of the language or even what these individual words mean. I hate rosetta stone and how much time i wasted trying to learn Arabic with it.

[Darkness545454]

true as fuck, your comment is 100% true.

[chickenbro5]

you can get a free sample buy just calling. i have a free spanish copy and i might get a free japanese sample.

[sorafb]

At first the speaking exercises bothered me because of having to repeat but after the first little lesson thing I was already able to recognize some kanji and comment on stuff around me. Now it's fun, especially since you're not really doing it for a grade. I think I have had it for... 3 days so far. ^_^

[chwparker]

I just ordered Rosetta Stone. It should be delivered tomorrow. Does it work well?

[CaptSmokey]

Sorry to say, but no it doesn't. It only provides a superficial glimpse of the language only enough to get a young kid interested in learning more about that language and then take classes to get more of the in-depth knowledge.

I went through the complete two parts of Arabic (almost 150 hours) and I don't feel any better off now than before, esp since RS doesn't teach the basic grammar which would really help.

Now I am using "Before you know it deluxe edition" and find it a great (and cheaper)

[chwparker]

Well I'm using it for French, not arabic, and so far it's working pretty well.

[szamek64]

lol at CALY

[teamodmd]

wow the price... it's so expencive !!! I'd rather just buy a wii- hahaha

[sargentlauren]

I want to get this for my b-day sooo bad..lol.

[klakkid]

Rosetta stone ROKS

i've only had it for half an hour and i know this:

Neko dou inu

not much but its cool

[bionlg]

yeah same for me XD, 2 days and i know a lot already O_O

[sorafb]

me too! It ends up being fun once you get the hang of it ^^

[jerryfudala]

Neko dou inu means, "Rosetta Stone sucks"

[wtfisonyouface]

neko to inu means can and dog

[GrovyleDDV]

I thought neko to inu meant cat and dog.

[Shakatou]

lol ya rossetta is lots better than pimsleur but o well i got pimsluer cuz i didnt know about rossetta... lol jaa mata

[CALYLicious07]

ROSETTA STONE SUCKS ASS...

I spent 200 bucks on some CDs....

I've learned more for free....

...I guess I am IN japan though lol

[crimsonsil]

well being surrounded by a whole nation of people all speaking the language is the ideal way to learn a language. That's how babies do it after all.

[PKNproductions]

stupid

[PKNproductions]

I was calling that guy's comment stupid btw
