-- Posted by yoshiness at 8:16 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 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. -- Posted by cuttergirl13 at 8:16 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 sure -- Posted by FingerSub at 8:17 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 Just torrent it for free and teaching yourself a language doesn't always work well -- Posted by ThatGuy411 at 8:17 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 you mean like the Computer Program? -- Posted by Twist3dHop3s at 8:18 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 yea. it works, but get it for free :) torrents all day -- Posted by Lulu Nobody at 8:20 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 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. -- Posted by MR UNKNOWN at 8:24 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 Quote: from Lulu Nobody at 11:20 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 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'd imagine it helps you out with grammer 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 -- Posted by lonelyguy at 11:57 am on Oct. 25, 2008 I was seriously looking into buying that same program, but then I came across this... http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/chorus/call/reviews/rosetta_russian/index.html 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. -- Posted by Shaknbake at 9:56 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from mr unknown at 8:24 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 I mean hey, the damn thing cost like 200 bucks and I see it everywhere.
