This product is all it is cracked up to be. I was skeptical on purchasing because learning the basics of any new language can be difficult and this product claims its as easy as 123. After listening and following the instruction pattern it simplifies the breakdown of the Spanish language as best as possible. Some of the annunciation is difficult but the method of learning is effective. Lots of fun too.

I've just completed the first few sections and am impressed with the teaching method. Rosetta Stone advertises that they teach a new language using the method of how one learned their native language. What this means is they use visual queues to associate with the sound of a new word. I.E. "Adios" will be seen on the screen and heard through the speakers but you'll also see a photo of a person waving goodbye. There is no English translation. This audio/visual association is how we all learned to speak as a child.

The program uses pictures and Spanish words, the program does not use the English translation. Sometimes the pictures are hard to figure out and are confusing in order. The lessons do not explain what to do with instructions. Lessons are fun but can be complicated.

My son's wife and in-laws are Hispanic, and they're raising my first grandchild to be bilingual.
I want to be able to participate in this, and to better communicate with this new part of my family.

This product has an excellent method for teaching a new language, as it envelopes you with pictures and the like to create word association with vision and sound. The only improvement I would recommend is a brief description of the multiple dynamics of the language being taught within each exercise, as often I wasn't even aware that I had learned much more than a few new words until the revelation a few lessons later. Perhaps, this is part of what made it easy to retain... that ahh haa moment.

No important steps are omitted and it allows for unlimited reviews. The vocabulary could be expanded to include common words I have had to look up or ask for their meanings.

I've been wanting to buy the Spanish 1-2-3 set for YEARS but simply couldn't afford the hefty price tag. When I passed by this product recently I was amazed how low the prize gone with Best Buy's sale back then. Long story short, I bought it.

I have found a free app for my phone that has helped me more. Rosetta Stone is expensive and not that easy or fun to use as is the free api. So, I basically have stored it away. Sorry, but that’s my review.
