Hi there,
Has anyone learn't the language with a Rosetta Stone Course?
If so, did you actually learn the language this way? Was it easy or very difficult for you?
Can you recommend buying the discs or subscribing to the courses online?
So many questions huh !!!
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Best wishes
Jo

I share your frustration. Rossetta Stone (RS) teachS just like a mother to a baby. (how many years does that take!)
Giving them the benefit of the doubt. (English idiom that they their claims may valid for other languages). In 2006 I did their Turkish Course and at the end, I couldn't converse or listen to a CD or or watch Movie and have much idea of what was happening.
The grammar is very POORLY communicated.
I got a couple tradition language books. An Introductory Turkish and the "Red" TURKISH grammar. It made all the difference.
That being said, the 80 some odd lessons have good information about Turkey and embedded cultural messages.
"the children playing in the garden, the snow covered mountains, children in general" RS communicate these cultural messages, and also "street directions".
I was amazed that RS spend an entire lessoon on the subject on arithmetic! Only to learn that 2+2=4 in both languages. An entire lesson 8 stages based On on 1st arithmetic. Whats that?
I would like to look at it again, but my son in law borrowed it.
Finally, you WILL do better here in Turkish clase. Welcome!
