The main page says $249, but if you follow the link above it should take an extra $20 off.

 

Figured I would share here just in case someone was looking cause it's a pretty big discount.

correction... they just lowered the price down to $209 for the rest of the day:

Thanks for the heads' up.

Wow, thanks Sam. Have been thinking about grabbing a Rosetta version for some time, for "relearning" Espanol. I've gone from having to read Cervantes in original old Spanish in college and being fairly conversational with contemporary Latin Spanish to barely remembering how to ask for a match and really losing my ear for it.

 

The first deal was about  20 bucks cheaper than anywhere else not even counting the free shipping, but the $209 is whiz bang, gonna grab the CD full version rather than the online service.

 

Appreciate it.

 

Wonder if I should wait till the last hour or less to see if they drop it again? ! :)

 

Where did you find that way "in" for that deal anyway?

edit:  Good thing I didn't wait till very last minute, putting the $209 bundle into cart, would only show $249. Called and the cat ran it through over the phone for the $209 price. Plus TN tax though, he didn't know why either, but said he had to. So about $228 total.

 

again, thanks Sam ...

 

edit 2: Both clocks for both prices reset to another 24 hour countdown on the sale!

If you don't mind could up update down the road on how well this program works?

 

I know little to no Spanish, but I would like to become at least proficient if not fluent. I have read mixed reviews on Rosetta Stone, but it really does seem to be the most inclusive program.

 

Thanks!

Yeah, I don't know of anything better rated overall, though.

 

Hell, I had two years of it in high school and three in college (3 years of some language was required), couple trips to Mexico, but was always shaky on the verb tenses, was told I sounded pretty ignorant more than a few times and whatnot :). Not to mention the accents of course. But what the hell, I've been told that about my hillbilly accented English! :) :)

 

Anyway, I'm hoping I can sort of rip through the first 2 or 3 levels assuming a lot of it is still in the the old dormant brain cells somewhere, but then again I've burned out a passel of them. Actually, that's one of the reasons I've been wanting to do it, as except for reading and hard crosswords I probably could do more to keep the ole aging synapses firing at healthy level. Use it or lose it and all that.

 

But will try to evaluate for someone who is starting from scratch and try to report. Thing is, I may have to find some Mexican/Central American folks to hang with or something at some point once I get some back. Any language, if you don't use it, you lose it. It's funny how back in the day I could hear someone speaking Spanish, and even if some of the vocabulary was over my head, I could still get the gist. Now, I overhear conversations here and there and the whole thing sounds like Greek, can't even seem to distinguish common verbs and nouns. Keep wanting to jump in and tell them I'm trying to eavesdrop so please hable mas despacio (speak more slowly). ;)

 

The CD version also includes 3 months of online interactive chats and whatever, dunno if that timer starts right away or on first use/registration or what, will see.

 

The other problem is I'm pretty lazy, so there's a chance this just goes to hell like other good intentions. I started on Lumosity for a while there, and while stimulating, it's somewhat like work, and I don't work anymore, so.....

 

I'd posit it's gonna be more and more important for younger folks to grow up knowing another language, and since Hispanics are gonna be largest minority and second largest group period pretty soon, Latin American Spanish is a pretty good choice. Then again, business wise, Mandarin Chinese might be better long term choice, dunno.

I have the CD version (Latin American Spanish), but have only made it through Lesson 1. I ended up having a pretty busy summer, so it put stuff on hold. It is a great program compared to another program I completed for another language years ago. Like anything, if you don't use it, you lose it. I had Spanish in high school and college, so going at it from this angle reactivated stuff in my brain which had been long forgotten.

I went to check out via paypal and it showed charging me tax on $499 - while the price of the product was $209.   ??  sheesh.

 

Edit:  called and got it all straightened out.

OS, I was buying the one for Tagalog and signed up to try the demo. About 5 minutes after signing up, they sent the emails with the discount.

Peace - no clue on that one, it only charged me $20ish for taxes

I got the CD set from Books A Million when they were running a deal. Seems like they always have something going on. It ended up being around 30% off by getting their membership card in addition to the special they were running.

Alright fellas, what language did you choose?  (feel free to say why?)  I am learning (or re-learning) German -  predominant language in Germany, Switzerland (65%), and Austria ...  Much of what strength exists in the EU exists with German speakers.

Doing Tagalog cause I've been married to my wife for 4 years now and only know about 10 words of her native language.
