First of all, the Rosetta Stone software is the best language software I have experienced personally. Unfortunately, the online version seems a bit buggy with the audio pickup from my mouthpiece, and I heard the actual installed software would help fix that. I was able to move through the lessons quickly and retain the knowledge learned easier than ever, but if I dared take a week away from my studies, or tackle another heavy study or focus it was detrimental to my learning. My suggestion is take Rosetta Stone seriously and focus on your language learning all at once. The greatest part about this software is that it throws you into the language and gives you no way out except getting it right or exiting the software. The software constantly reviews previous lessons to keep it fresh, and your overall progress is always in the forefront to encourage you to keep going. The toughest part of the software was the audio input expected from the learner. If you did not get it just right... RRRR! This software raises the bar in personal language learning. I would personally recommend anyone try the online version first before buying since it is only just over $100 for 3 months versus over $400 to own each level.

There are so many advantages of learning a language, and I think you have done a good job of listing them here. I also liked what you had to say about #’s 7 and 8. It is definitely a real plus if you know the language where you are traveling/ visiting. It’s a lot easier to navigate, and understand what is going on around you. You will also get a real taste of the country, where as a tourist with no knowledge of the language, you might not understand things fully. Studying abroad is a life changing experience, and learning a language while you do it is not only beneficial but it is also very rewarding! Hello,

I’d like to argue the case for learning and using Esperanto to enrich your life and your travels. Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net Esperanto works! I’ve used it in speech and writing - and sung in it - in a dozen countries over recent years. Indeed, the language has some remarkable practical benefits. Personally, I’ve made friends around the world through Esperanto that I would never have been able to communicate with otherwise. And then there’s the Pasporta Servo, which provides free lodging and local information to Esperanto-speaking travellers in over 90 countries. In the past year I have had guided tours of Berlin and Milan in the planned language. I have discussed philosophy with a Slovene poet, humour on television with a Bulgarian TV producer. I’ve discussed what life was like in East Berlin before the wall came down, how to cook perfect spaghetti, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchy, and so on.
