Question by : How long do Russian and German take to master with Rosetta Stone?
I’ve already purchased Rosetta Stone German levels 1, 2 & 3 and am going to get a move on it relatively soon. I’m curious about how long it will take me to speak it fluently.
I’m also planning to purchase Rosetta Stone Russian levels 1 & 2 and want to know how long it’ll take to master whatever content it gives me.
Thank you in advance!

Ok this is my business!! because i have tried German,Arabic,French languages of Rosetta Stone version 3.4.5 .
you know i dont want to make you happy or upset, i just say my experiences about this software.
1. Rosetta Stone will help you if you’ll have an elementary knowledge about the language you wanna learn.
2. Rosetta Stone will help you if the language you wanna learn is from the same language family as yours.
for example if your native language is Spanish and you want to learn French or Italian , then Rosetta Stone would be useful.
3.Rosetta Stone won’t help you if the family of the language you wanna learn is not the same as yours.
for example if you speak an Indo-European language and then you want to learn Chinese or Japanese or Korean then it wouldn’t help , because you have to face new alphabets which are not covered very well in Rosetta Stone.
4.Rosetta Stone won’t help you if you dont have any basic knowledge about the language you wanna learn.
I am trying Rosetta Stone German version 3.4.5 and i am on level 4 now. and i can live with that!
i mean it is not superb! but it is not bad either. It helps me.
but since i hadn’t any basic knowledge about German before starting Rosetta Stone i studied the basic grammar of German about 1 month and then started Rosetta Stone .
by the way don’t forget to use the “Audio Companion ” after you finished every listen especially when you are away from the computer.
There is another software is “TELL ME MORE” which is almost like Rosetta Stone.
The method is without translation.
hope it helped!

typically it takes something like 5 years of learning the language and studying it to be fluent like a native
