Don't try it on a Mac 
2008-06-13
I just received the Rosetta Stone Dutch V2, Level 1 and 2, which is labeled for Windows and Mac. The headphone was damaged upon receipt. I still have not been able to open the program - it installs correctly, but won't read the language disk. (There are separate application and language disks.) In fact, my Mac froze completely - the language disk must be damaged, although it appears okay. I accessed the online support FAQ and received technical directions beyond my abilities:
"If you are having trouble using current Rosetta Stone Version 2 software on an OS 10.5 Mac, please uninstall and reinstall the application. (Did that.) You may also need to boot from the Mac install CD to do a Disk Repair and Repair Permissions.(??)" And other such instructions.
So I think I'm packing this up to return to Amazon. This is the first product I've returned in nearly ten years of using Amazon regularly. From the television and other media ads, I never thought I would have technical problems using the program.
Excellent Superior Product

As German is already a second language for me, my review of this product is written with this additional view point. Having said that: my ability to quickly process the Dutch Grammer and master what is a transliateration from Dutch to German was almost immeidate. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a quick immersion in Dutch, rather than spending money and time on personal lessons. The issue is discipline and blocking time immeidaltey in the morning for 45 minutes of lessons, as well as a review during your lunch.
Rosetta Stone

I ordered Rosetta Stone to learn Dutch because my fiance is Dutch and I want to be able to talk to his family. Rosetta Stone is very easy to use, and the way they present the material is great because you really remember it. It's not by memorization, but by association.
So far so good

I've done a few Dutch language courses - mostly audio for convenience. Linkword is fanstastic. Pimsuleur - sucks. I decided to start multi-media as Linkword essentially ran out at level 2 (and per the above - forget Pimsuleur) and the next set of material available was mostly multi-media. Given the way Rosetta Stone jumps into the material (as I have previous experience) I am confident I will be learning new things right away.

So my wife is Dutch and I have been using this here and there as I am moving in a few months. I get home from work I spend about 20 minutes every other day, but I have to say so far this product is helping me a lot. I get to surprise my wife here and there with what I have learned and she is helping me with the pronunciation as it is not quite right. I would recommend this for anyone who is just starting out. The hardest part is the fact that the Dutch have created a variety of words that only work in Dutch. You can not translate these words....
