How good is the Rosetta Stone program for Russian?

Question by Juston: How good is the Rosetta Stone program for Russian?
I took 2 years of Russian in high school , but that was a long time ago. Recentley I rented some books and CD’s in Russian and I was suprised how quickly it started coming back to me. I have enrolled in a college class for Russian to start next semester. I want to study and learn as much ads I can in the meantime. All the Rosetta Stone reviews are excellent. I have tried the free demo. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and how effective it was. I seem to be able to pick up Languages very quickly and I want to become fluent in Russian. I have been looking at all my options for about 2 weeks and other than phrase books there doesn’t seem to be much you can do besides living in that country. I have excellent pronunciation and a very good base from my Russian high school class. I would really appreciate any info on Rosetta Stone and the Russian course inparticular. I would describe my Russian level as just a little above a beginner. Thanks.

I’ve just recently used the Rosetta Stone program, the Spanish version, in a class I took at a local J.C.; it was very good…but very repetitive. I don’t know about the Russian version, but if it is anything like the Spanish version, it’s worth it..
