| Rosetta Stone $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I keep seeing these commercials for "Rosetta Stone" Spanish lessons. I decided to check it out. I thought maybe I could get some used discs on Ebay or some "copies" for 40-50 bucks. I had no idea this thing costs $550.00!!!! I was just shocked. I thought maybe it was $100. I guess that's why they don't show the price on the commercials!

| My daughter is currently using Rosetta Stone to learn Portuguese. (Her boyfriend is from Brazil.) I, too, think the cost is outrageous.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yeah, they are a fortune! I actually found a much better deal - and it's the system the United Nations uses to teach folks (quickly) how to learn Spanish (or any language) - I got it on either Amazon or eBay - can't recall the name right now, but if you google it - you may be able to find it....

Senior Yorkie Talker | Rosetta Stone is a good language tool. I know the military uses Rosetta Stone. The soldiers are learning to speak Arabic to relate to the Iraqi's. I agree it is costly. However, I would check the local libraries as well. Also, check the college bookstores for resales you may get it discounted.

| I paid $600 for Camino del exito to learn spanish. I learned a lot but did not complete all of the CD's. I printed off all of the things from the internet. I guess I should try to sell it on Craigslist. |
