I enjoyed the demo of Rosetta Stone but I think that it is very repetitive. It would work as a supplementary lesson but not as a single learning tool. It got really boring after a short while. I was really looking forward to learning spanish and I thought that this program could help me but I became very distracted. If you missed one cue it gets you behind in the lesson and you have to go back and repeat what you have already done.
This demo should be done in a quiet room with nothing going on and somewhere where you can concentrate only on what is going on with the program.
From what the demo gave it was very interactive and easy to follow so I think that it would be good for ESL students and not really overwhelming. The only problem is that it focuses on vocabulary and not so much context.
Overall I thought it to be a good program for review but not as a lesson.
