So the advantage of being able to learn from any computer with an Internet connection and always pick up where you left off is balanced out by the potential failure point of the remote connection. If they go down, your access to Rosetta Stone is down as well. The online system seems reliable–no outages or server down times were reported during the testing period–but because it’s a remote connection, you’re completely at the mercy of your Internet provider.

I experienced some limited “hangs” or pauses in the online program that don’t happen with my installed software both online and installed versions were run on the same computer, so I assume that the Internet connection was to blame. The Rosetta Stone software, when installed, usually runs flawlessly if you’re on a compatible computer, but older operating systems or older, slower processors–I’m not sure which–can occasionally cause it to “hang” or freeze and suffer internal errors. So the online version gets 4 out of 5–good–because even though it costs a lot and will not save you money over the installed version if you’re a slow learner, it offers a fast-track option that will save you money if you’re focused and persistent enough to take advantage of it. If you’re planning on studying for at least an hour or more every day, you’ll probably get through at least one or two levels before a six month subscription runs out, and if you’re capable of continuing that level of focus you’ll definitely burn through all three in the space of a year. Whether the online system is a worthwhile investment or not will depend largely on your commitment level and how much time you have to invest. The subscription now auto-renews after the initial period, and you can call at any time to cancel, but it is an additional cost. (Some languages have more levels available check for your favorite on the Rosetta Stone website.) You can buy a subscription to the same lessons online for less–$224 for a year of access to all three levels–but once the subscription period is over you no longer have access to your investment, whereas the installed software is still sitting there ready for review. All three levels of Irish, installed, cost $274 when No matter how you slice it, the Rosetta Stone language learning system is pricey.
