One thing I've noticed about people and Rosetta Stone is that they either love it or hate it.
The majority of people are in the middle ground somewhere, but with Rosetta Stone, there are an awful lot of people with an extreme opinion. Granted, people are more likely to be vocal about their hatred for a product than they are about their love for it. And these people seem to be very vocal.
Let me compare Rosetta Stone to Pimsleur. Some people love Pimsleur, others don't like it. But the ones who don't like it agree that it has its virtues. Most of the non-positive reviews of Pimsleur concede that Pimsleur is better at building pronunciation and conversation skills than any other method. It's just a clash of learning styles, or they feel it is a little too expensive for the return they may be getting. Fair enough. And that's just it - the negative reviews of Pimsleur are fair.
Back to Rosetta Stone. The positive reviews are absolutely glowing and the negative reviews are scathing. Rosetta Stone must really be rubbing some people the wrong way or the right. It seems like these super-positive reviews and harshly negative reviews are motivated. Smells a little fishy to me, on both sides of the fence. Any thoughts? Care to write your review of Rosetta Stone?
