Rosetta Stone doesn’t work in the slightest. So let’s split this into sections
Speaking: The speech recognition is genuinely the worst out of all the apps I’ve used (Duolingo, Memrise etc), I can say the sentence perfectly and it’s under 20% correct but I could say a sentence in English (I’m on the French course) and it will be correct apparently.
Listening: The listening isn’t actually that bad I do really like the audio companion feature it’s very useful, but again other apps do it better. Memrise’s biggest strength (imo) is that we hear the natives say the words we just learned but that’s a nitpick.
Writing: Half the time we just have to select a box….. there’s very little writing that I’ve seen.
Visually: RS uses allot of stick images which would be ok and good for visual learners but half the time it’s not clear what the visual images are for. For example “the boy walks” and “the boy runs” were two sentences that I saw…… both boys in the two different images looked as if they were walking. It’s so frustrating because it’s the little things.
Does anybody else agree?
