There's this cool thing, it's called Google and if you use it to search for your question, there's a good chance you'll find the answer you're looking for. I know it might take something called "effort" but the rewards will be well worth it.

.. least there's something to read on these here slow forums, since every other thread is random banter or spam.

as for the question, My brother got the Spanish pack and he's learned more Spanish then he was from reading Spanish to English dictionary's, If you put effort into it, Rosetta stone disks can boost your language skills.

I recommend it.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

I got the Japanese version. I haven't had much time to use it, but from what I have used, it works very good. Definitely recommend it.

Yeah that's cool, Google also has info that people posted who previously used it. Can you go one week without making 15 pointless topics? Oooh wait, here's an idea, start some threads about how to brush your teeth! Don't know how to walk your dog? Ask the Renegade forums! Having a hard time finding the proper bedsheets, which thread count feels better? Post another topic and find out, since you can't look for yourself!

There's this new trend on the WWW where people post reviews of products that they have bought/used. Often times, there are even forums dedicated to the software or hardware in question. It's new, so I don't blame you if you haven't heard of it yet... Sarcasm

Can I, also, suggest you try to use Yahoo! Answers? If all you post is questions about stupid shit that a gaming forum wouldn't have any tremendous expertise on, you can always try using a community actually designed to answer questions.

whoa.

While it's definitely useful to search google, it can sometimes also be useful to check if people u trust have an opinion about something. However, you should first check google, then u can post, here's what I found: "blabla", what do u guys think about it? That way u give an own input that can help out others, instead of just asking for help.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Yea, really, what's wrong with him posting a topic on it? If you don't like it, don't post.

As for the topic, like I said above, it is definitely worth it.

I don't tend to trust the general opinion of people on this forum because the vast majority are idiots.

I have all 3 levels of Rosetta Stone for one language. It works excellent but you must decide if it's worth your money since it's not cheap.

I got this for free from a relative who used it but I would not have bought it on my own due to the price.

It is definitely worth the price. You are basically implanting another language into your head. It is definitely worth it.

could you be anymore of a condescending jerk to people? he's only asking a question, it's not like this topic doesn't belong in an area for "general and off topic discussion."

and yes ssnipe it seems like a decent program, but nothing really can replace the amount you can learn from a human instructor.

For once I agree with rocko. Normally, yeah, there are stupid questions here. But he's asking what people here personally think of it. Not if they know how to get it. Even if there ARE review sites, it's the equivalent of hearing a bad review of a movie, then saying you know everything about the movie and that it sucks.

To avoid things like this however, it's better to post what you did before you asked here and what exactly you wanted to know rather than a simple one line post.

I never even heard about it, so no, I don't know whether it's any good. Wink

Asking people on a forum is exactly the same. He doesn't know anybody personally here, either.

While I don't think this thread is bad as others, it'd be a little easier to put up with if he would use a little more restraint in his question threads.

whoa.

This forum has become a lot more liberal, so they're not willing to make people actually take it upon themselves to do things.

the balls have dropped but not off. maybe people are mature enough now to help others, instead of getting some strange satisfaction out of being mean to others and posting links to google.
