We have been using the Rosetta Stone Arabic program for about a month now and are delighted. The kids have been making much progress as have I! We plan to finish all three levels in Arabic and then move on to the Spanish program.

I and my 3rd and 5th grader are using this now to learn Spanish - Latin American. I love it. I have been learning for 2 years with Learning Spanish Like Crazy, and this has really sped up my learning. My 11 year old loves to do it. If you follow it as recommended, using the audio in the car or when you shop to reinforce learning it really sinks in.
There is a section with each lesson on grammar and it forces you to learn through conversation. I used this to learn for a mission trip and like how the units focus on a topic like "Dining" or "Shopping". The pronunciation practice is good for not seeing a persons lips move. I studied some grammar prior to learning, but only the basics of verb endings and a little conversation. I think this is the best way to become fluent quickly and have heard that from other fluent Spanish speakers who did mission work in Mexico. We may do another curriculum or grammar study later if necessary, but the great thing is that we are learning together and it's working. It is fun and addictive.

We are doing the Rosetta Stone Mandarin Chinese and we love it. All my kids are doing it along with my husband and I. Yes, it was expensive but so far to us it was worth the cost. We are adopting our second child from China and hope it will help ease the transition.

I have found that Rosetta Stone is the only program for latten and shows the word roots for latten. I will use Rosetta Stone. Then I will post an other Review.
