Rosetta Stone Urdu Torrent



Rosetta Stone is the best-known company in foreign language learning. So maybe you are wondering how well it has worked for others and if it would work well for you.

Sadly, Rosetta Stone Spanish rarely works.

Summary of This Review:

You probably won’t learn much with Rosetta Stone. That’s because a big portion of the program teaches you separate words without their context—and without context, words don’t have meaning.

Then double click the Rosetta Stone.pkg to begin installation. Rosetta Stone believes practicing pronunciation is the cornerstone to building confidence as a speaker of any language. That’s why our Farsi lessons incorporate practicing Persian pronunciations into every lesson with a patented speech recognition engine called TruAccent®. Although pimsleur has phone lines that are open 24/7, when you look at rosetta stone vs pimsleur customer support i think rosetta stone’s is slightly better due to their live chat feature. Pimsleur dari persian basic course - level 1 lessons 1-10 cd, volume 1 by pimsleur, 555, available at book depository with free delivery worldwide.

To understand why this is true, imagine being a foreigner trying to learn English. If you learn just two phrases, “What’s your name?” and “My name is …” and you know how to use them, then you know a little bit of English. You know two useful things!

But if you learned all six words separately and what each of them meant but didn’t know how to put them together and use them, then you don’t know any English.

Without context, words are just funny sounds.

What the Rosetta Stone Learners I’ve Met Couldn’t Do

I’ve traveled the world and talked with thousands of language learners.

Every time I met someone who had learned a new language, I asked them how they learned it. When I found people who were trying to learn Spanish, French, German, or some other language with Rosetta Stone, they never could say more than a few words of their new language. They couldn’t even ask a useful question like “What’s your name?”

You cannot learn a new language as an adult the way you learned your first language as a child.

So if you’re wondering, “Does Rosetta Stone work?” my answer is, “For everyone I’ve met (and I’ve met hundreds, perhaps thousands of language learners), Rosetta Stone does not work.”

I wish that weren’t true, because the people who work at Rosetta Stone are a talented bunch. Hopefully they will eventually develop language-learning programs that really work.

What Works Better Than Rosetta Stone?

Three companies offer programs that work much better than Rosetta Stone. For beginning language learners, we recommend that you try a free practical lesson right now, by clicking below on the language you want to learn.

If you don’t see the language you want to learn, we recommend Pimsleur for beginners.

For languages we don’t have, we recommend Yabla for intermediate to advanced learners.

The detailed Rosetta Stone review starts below.

You Can’t Learn Like a ChildUnless You Are One

Rosetta Stone used to claim that you could learn a foreign language the same way a child does if you just bought their program. The company faced a lot of well-deserved criticism for this claim. So they changed their ads—just a little.

Adults learn differently than children because their brains are different.

They now say that if you use their program, you will be “learning a new language the way you learned your first.”

It’s the same claim, and it’s still wrong.

Your Brain Is Different Than a Baby’s Brain

To understand why Rosetta Stone’s claim is 100-percent wrong, and not simply an advertising exaggeration, you need to know the difference between the brain of an adult and the brain of a newborn baby.

From the age of one month to three months, a baby will respond to all the language sounds (called phonemes) that he or she hears. Any child can learn any language that he or she hears.

Adults trying to learn Spanish with Rosetta Stone will not hear all the Spanish phonemes.

But by age 1, the baby’s brain has already built special neural processing circuits for their first language. The baby will no longer perceive phonemes that are not in his or her native language.

What does that mean for you? As an adult learner of Spanish, for example, you will not even hear phonemes that are not in a language you already know well.

In this review I am paraphrasing from a lecture by Stanford biology professor Robert Sapolsky. I recommend that you watch at least five minutes of his lecture to see what I am talking about.

You cannot learn a new language as an adult the way you learned your first language as a child. That’s a fact. Your adult brain is different than a child’s brain!

You Shouldn’t Have to Guess

Have you ever seen a toddler point at a dog and say, “Look, Mommy, a cat!” Children do a lot of guessing when they learn a new language. It also takes children several years to learn their first language. They waste a lot of time doing this, even though they usually have two full-time, live-in language tutors called parents.

You’ve already learned English, so you shouldn’t have to start learning your next language by guessing and making all of your childhood mistakes over again. If you copy the learning methods of small children (as Rosetta Stone suggests you do), you will waste a lot of your time.

Adults (and children old enough to read) don’t need to guess what foreign words and phrases mean. They can use translations to understand the meaning the first time, without guessing.

Rosetta Stone Doesn’t Work Well for Children Either

Children learn more slowly and much differently than adults do.

You might reasonably ask, “Does Rosetta Stone work for children?” Sadly, the answer is also no.

It doesn’t work for children for a different reason. Rosetta Stone’s format of using pictures that you match to foreign words makes it very easy for children (and, in fact, for anyone) to remember the picture and get the answer right but without really knowing the foreign word or phrase.

If you have ever remembered a person’s face but couldn’t remember their name, you know what I’m talking about.

Rosetta Stone’s program design makes it easy to “cheat” and get the right answer without really knowing it. Children are especially prone to doing this. The interesting pictures actually slow down a child’s learning.

Rosetta Stone for Homeschool Families

Home school families are faced with the difficult problem of choosing for example Spanish study materials for their children when neither mom nor dad knows Spanish. In many areas of life, picking the market leader or the company with the best advertising is a good approach. But not with language learning.

When your son or daughter is ready to learn Spanish, the important thing is not whether the web site is gorgeous, or who likes the program. The important thing is how much can your child remember after studying for 30 minutes.

Fortunately, this is easy to test. Have your son or daughter do the Rosetta Stone demo for 30 minutes and then have them do our demo by clicking on the flag below for 30 minutes and buy the program where they can remember more at the end of a 30-minute lesson.

For homeschoolers, it’s especially important to have an easy way for mom or dad to monitor their child’s progress without having to know the language. The language101.com program has a mom, dad or teacher interface that makes this easy.

Rosetta StonePretending to Be What It’s Not

Q: If you call a sheep’s tail a leg, how many legs does a sheep have?

A: Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

You see, it doesn’t matter what you call something. Things are what they are, regardless of what you call them.

Rosetta Stone says that its program is “Interactive Language Immersion.” But unfortunately, that’s just a slogan. You can’t sell language immersion in a yellow box.

What Is Language Immersion?

Real language immersion is full time and hardcore exposure to a language. You can’t create language immersion by

If you study Spanish at Middlebury College, you won’t speak English.

using a computer program for an hour a day.

You can get language immersion by going to a place like Middlebury College, where you will sign this pledge:

“In signing this Language Pledge, I agree to use ______________ as my only language of communication while attending the Middlebury Language Schools. I understand that failure to comply with this Pledge may result in my expulsion from the School without credit or refund.”

You can also create a language immersion program for yourself by going to live and work in a foreign country. Anything short of that is not immersion. Sorry, Rosetta Stone, your program is not immersion.

Starting With Useless Words and Phrases

Do beginners really need to learn the words for “tall building”? Probably not!

The Rosetta Stone Spanish program starts with a list of common words like man, woman,and so on. It also uses short phrases like “The man eats” or “The man drinks.”

These are terms you will eventually need to learn. But you should start with learning useful phrases like “What’s your name?” and “What is this called?”

Rosetta stone urdu torrent free

The next step in Rosetta Stone takes you to phrases that are not especially useful. For example, in the Rosetta Stone Russian program, there is a picture of a boy lying face down in a park with a soccer ball balancing on his back.

The sentence you are supposed to learn is: “The boy is under the ball.” How many times in your life will you need to say that? How about this phrase from the Korean program: “The people have a pen.”

Rosetta Stone does offer some practical phrases like “What’s your name?” The problem is that they show up after a long time of using the program.

You can’t create language immersion by using a computer program for an hour a day.

Sadly, many people will quit before they ever reach the practical phrases they should have learned on their very first day.

If you do try to learn with Rosetta Stone, don’t give up before you’ve gotten through the boring list of vocabulary words you will have to start with.

Is It Possible to Be Worse Than Useless?

Actually, it is possible to be “worse than useless.”

A “worse than useless” program not only fails to teach you anything useful, but it also convinces you that you have no talent for language learning.

Progress—An Online School

Rosetta Stone has added an online school to their offerings.

Even though their software itself has arguably gotten worse over the years because you now have only two images to guess between instead of four, I think the online school is a great idea.

So if you do decide to try Rosetta Stone I highly recommend that you sign up for their private tutoring sessions. Their teachers will rigidly follow the Rosetta Stone lesson plan, so if you want to talk about what you did today it will only rarely help. However, live teachers, especially daily live teachers are an excellent addition to any language learning plan. If you get a good one, live teachers can be very motivating.

Online Subscriptions vs. Boxed Software

Rosetta Stone Urdu Torrent

In the past, Rosetta Stone only sold boxed software that you installed with CDs on your computer. It’s still possible to buy their software on CDs (and you can buy a box that contains a certificate for a digital download), but their current emphasis is on selling online subscriptions where you pay for a fixed number of months of use.

If you want to try Rosetta Stone and are looking for a lower price, sign up for one of their free newsletters and read them when they arrive, and you will probably be offered a lower price.

For everyone I’ve met (and I’ve met hundreds, perhaps thousands of language learners), Rosetta Stone does not work.

I Don’t Like Writing This

I don’t like writing about Rosetta Stone’s lack of progress. I would have much preferred to write, “The software is getting better.” But sadly, it seems that it’s not.

The people who work at Rosetta Stone are decent human beings. I’m sure they would throw me a life preserver if I were drowning or buy me lunch if I were hungry.

The company’s marketing people are both decent human beings and geniuses. It’s time for Rosetta Stone to hire some educational software geniuses to work with the marketing geniuses in developing new products.

If that were to happen, it would be a winning combination.

Should Anyone Use Rosetta Stone?

It might be OK to try Rosetta Stone if:

    • You can keep your enthusiasm for foreign language learning and then go on to another program if Rosetta Stone doesn’t work for you.
    • Your only other language-study tools are books. For example, if you are learning Spanish, we still think that Rosetta Stone Spanish is slightly better than trying to learn Spanish with only a textbook.
    • You don’t mind if your study program makes you wait to learn practical phrases near the end of the course instead of at the beginning.

What Is the Consensus of Experienced Language Learners?

“Rosetta Stone is Super Boring. It is so-so-absolutely boring. I can not use Rosetta Stone for more than five minutes because I am absolutely bored… Rosetta Stone is basically a digital flashcard game where they go, here’s a dog, here’s a cat, here’s two dogs, here’s two cats and you have to guess using the pictures.”

Jeff Brown, polyglot and full-time language instructor1

“Do we need to learn structure first or words? I prefer to learn words first and the structure will come. Of course, the words have to come from interesting content.

“In Rosetta Stone one lesson had a picture of some people painting and the ladder was falling over. Well, I’m not interested in people painting and a ladder falling over, and you might not be either.

“So even though Rosetta Stone claims to be a departure from traditional language learning, in fact they are not.

They are traditional structuralists who are trying to teach you the grammar of your new language first. And they try to teach you this grammar without using any translations.”

Steve Kaufmann, polyglot and founder of Lingq2

“It’s definitely very user friendly, but you may quickly find out why the language learning community dislikes the program. Many people find it slow paced, repetitive, and boring.”

Eric Bondar, author of “The Immersion Method – How to Learn Any Language to Fluency the Fun and Easy Way.”3

What’s a Better Way to Learn Your Next Language?

Language101.com is quite a bit more effective than Rosetta Stone. But please don’t believe us just because we say so. Try our free lesson by clicking on the link below.

Please also try the Rosetta Stone free lesson.

Then buy the program—do it today—from which you can remember more after 30 minutes.

Our customers tell us that they can remember much more for several days after they studied when they use our program, compared to Rosetta Stone.

What if I Want to Learn a Language You Don’t Offer?

We have written a lot of articles on how to learn any language. These articles will help you learn your new language faster, no matter which program you buy.

We also strongly recommend Pimsleur if we don’t offer your language.

No, this is not an affiliate link, and, no, we don’t get any money from Pimsleur for saying it. But we like Pimsleur, and you may too. It does work, especially for going from knowing nothing to being minimally conversant.

Conclusion

Rosetta Stone is a foreign language learning program that features beautiful pictures and clear audio. So does it work? Only rarely. They continue to sell it in spite of its ineffectiveness, because it is difficult for inexperienced language learners to understand why it didn’t work. Language learners tend to blame themselves for the program’s failures.

I really do like the people who work at Rosetta Stone. They are a smart and talented bunch.

I wrote this review in part to inspire Rosetta Stone to the greatness that the company is capable of. Someday they may develop software that really works.

Fortunately, in response to this review and others, they no longer advertise that adults can learn like a child with their software. I commend them for that. But they haven’t significantly changed the software. It still doesn’t work for most people.

Of course, I also wrote this review for the thousands of people who have tried to learn a language with Rosetta Stone and failed. If you are one of those people, I want you to know that your failure is not your fault.

The methods you were told to use just don’t work. In fact, you might even be a language-learning genius and not know it yet.
