Yes or no? Should I attempt it? Is it really as good as they say (in your personal experience)

Yes, I know it comes with a hefty price tag.

Since the mods are gonna be a little picky about this message :

Sí o no? En caso de que yo lo intento? ¿Es realmente tan buena como ellos dicen (en su experiencia personal)

Sí, sé que viene con una etiqueta de precio fuerte.

Yes, I'm talking about the computer program.

Google translate ftw.

Rosetta Stone is a great language-learning program if your idea of a great language-learning program is one that doesn't teach you anything.

I mean hey, the damn thing cost like 200 bucks and I see it everywhere. It wouldn't be up in the market if it didn't work


You're trying to be ironic, aren't you?

I was seriously looking into buying that same program, but then I came across this...

I highly recommend you read this entire review of the program before you buy, it's very in depth and the writer has a lot to say.

I don't trust that stuff, mainly because even if they say they are getting you to speak it, they don't say anything about even teaching just a hint of grammar. I'm taking a Polish class right now, it's taught entirely in Polish, not a word of English, and we have to glean meanings by context. She will, on rare occasions explain certain concepts in English and their use, because it's possible to be lost without it. I've never used it myself, but I would be very weary. If you can get a free trial or something of the sort (or even illegally) go with that first before actually dishing out the money, or find people who have tried it, because sometimes they're not as cracked up as they seem to be.
I'd imagine it helps you out with grammer
