Unfortunately, there are still no cultural lessons provided to enhance cultural knowledge and immerse the learner in the traditions and heritage of the country. Unfortunately, certainly at the basic levels there still feels to be over-reliance on picture-word association, a technique that research has proved to be more effective in children than in adults. The online lessons and interactive community are also long overdue additions considering the price. The publishers have made positive changes to more culture-specific pictures and made navigation and game/test instructions clearer for users. This latest Totale version is certainly an improvement on past editions. That said, if you have a tablet or a large-screened smartphone you can use the Rosetta Stone apps.

You can't download the course levels to a PC or Mac, which presents accessibility issues. Secondly, this option requires a reliable internet connection that doesn't experience intermittent cutting out or periodic downtime.

It is unlikely that you will master the English language in 12 months, and for $299 you would expect to buy a product that can be used forever. You only get 12 months, which is somewhat a mystery. The online version is a great idea, but there are two obvious shortcomings.

As you can see, it is far more cost effective to go for the full 5-level set. The levels 1, 2, and 3 in boxset will set you back for $259. If you are only looking at learning basic words and phrasing for a trip to an English speaking country, you might consider just purchasing level 1 for $179 USD. The full boxset version comes in at $299 as well, but you get all the CDs and online access to the interactive learning tools. It is $299, but remember, this only gives you a 12-month subscription to master the 5 levels. The online version is solely online with no physical product or downloads. The key difference between the two options is price and accessibility. You also get access to the Rosetta Stone mobile apps for learning on the go. The boxset version also provides online access to live lessons, interactive games and a learners' community. Levels 4 and 5 enable you to fully express your ideas and opinions in English and master the conversational skills required to plan adventures, care for your health, and move abroad.īoth the boxset and the online version cover the same levels. Levels 2 and 3 aim to provide the confidence to talk about your environment such as giving and getting directions, dining out, shopping, and enjoying basic, social interactions. Level one covers basic English conversational skills, including greetings and introductions, simple questions and answers, shopping and basic need-to-know words. As with all Rosetta Stone versions, the emphasis is on getting you speaking words immediately with perfecting pronunciation later down the line.

The approach remains largely the same as in previous versions, using picture association to learn words at the basic levels, and then dynamic immersion using native conversation and voice recognition software for mastering grammar in later levels. The program is now available in two formats the traditional CD boxset, and a 12-month online subscription-learning format. The program has been upgraded to include a number of interactive learning tools accessible via the web. The latest Rosetta Stone English (British) is the version 4 Totale.
