Korean Language Rosetta Stone Review

(South Korea)
I attempted to use the Rosetta Stone Hangul level 1. It seems to be a well developed program but did not work for me. I found myself often getting bored with the application and could not sit with it for very long. I also found that I would memorize pictures and associate them with the words instead of actually learning the words.
I think the program works really well for some though. I have friends that have used it with excellent results. I would still recommend this program to people even though I had limited results. I think everyone just needs to try it and see if it fits their learning needs.
While using the program I also recommend setting aside a specific time everyday to sit down and study with this software. Otherwise, in my case, I found myself not studying for a week or two at a time. I think this had a major influence on why the program sis not work for me. I will still try this program again and hope for better results as it a well developed and researched program.
Overall I give the program a thumbs up. Especially for military members as it is available free through AKO. You can not beat the value of this nor pass up the opportunity to enhance your overseas tours by learning the local languages.
