Real seat of your pants flying on a foggy night experience without instruments. Rosetta Stone is NOT the way to go to acquire another language unless you have someone familiar with the language guide you. Having had experience using software that works from basic to intermediate levels, this one is the pits by comparison. Better have the ability to decide whether you will be happy with the program while just looking at the box, because once you open it, you're stuck with it. Makes for pretty expensive garbage....
