Okay training tool, weak software [Posted on 2008-01-18] I've started using the Hindi version 2 CD and while the lessons seem okay, the software is a bit minimalistic.
Since none of my laptop computers have built in CD drives (to save weight) I've been forced to run this software tethered to a desktop computer. The vendor really should consider investing a bit of R&D money into making a version that runs on laptops without CD drives. Maybe a SD card or PCMCIA version.
The best language program I have found [Posted on 2008-02-09] With Rosetta Stone, after 3 weeks, I am composing sentences, comfortable with my pronounciation and able to read the script very accurately. Better than the conversational instruction materials I have tried before, RS teaches the language from the ground up. If you have tried other programs before, you will be amazed at how quickly this program will have you speaking, reading and conversing. First, this program is not trying to teach me how to book a hotel room or buy a train ticket. Too many shortened programs are all about travel. Secondly, there are no grammar lessons. You learn proper tense of the verbs by putting them in context. A much easier way to comprehend them.
I think it is the best and I can't wait to surprise my Hindi speaking friends!
Good product, some problems installing [Posted on 2008-02-24] Had some issue installing it for Vista, but found the info from the support website.
not for learning as a second language [Posted on 2008-05-01] I bought this for my daughter to teach Hindi as a second language. I found it suitable only for travellers and those who want to learn just for basic communication. It starts with words straight away though it says Level 1. So I returned it.
