Summary: Junk
Comment: This product has several major flaws. It was probably made by slaping Korean over another language.
First, it was not designed to teach someone Korean. Because of problems with word order, it will have an English speaker believe that over meant under and vice versa. It teaches numbers, then moves on to telling time. This would work fine if Korean did not have 2 number systems. It teaches one then uses the second for telling time, leaving the user completely lost.
It does not teach Hangeul. I am fine with it using hanguel, since it is the best way to read Korean. But without teaching the user to read first, it is like a sports car with no gasoline. Expensive and useless.
The Product needs to be updated. It looks like it was made in 1995, and the photos are hard to make out. It is hard to tell who is the boy and who is the girl in many. You just have to guess which one looks slightly more feminine or is wearing a little more pink.
If you are taking a formal class, or have already studied Korean very much, it might help. Since it doesn't teach reading, grammar, or rules, it leaves the user totally lost.

Summary: Rosetta rocks
Comment: This software is great: The interactive interface is engaging and not tiring, the format moves quickly to applicable material, and the varying techniques utilized encourage real learning. My only complaints are: Only formal speech it taught and immersion means translations are not provided. Would reccomend it.

Summary: The best way to learn a language.
Comment: The only better way to learn a language is total immersion. But since this requires growing up with the language, or spending two or three months hearing and speaking nothing but the target language,it is not a practical solution for most of us. Rosetta stone is the next best thing. You learn the language in the same manner of a child growing up in it, or by total immersion only without the need to survive as an added incentive. With Rosetta Stone, you go as fast as you are able. For the first time learning another language is actually fun for me.
