I bring my laptop, you install it (or we install it together), I pay you.

Let me know your asking price and we'll talk!

Thanks,

Rosetta Stone is kinda crappy. You would learn a lot more from talking to Koreans and sites like www.talktomeinkorean.com

I assume being on this site and saying you'll bring you laptop that you live in Korea. If that's the case, I second the above post and recommend you find a different way to learn Korean. From my use of the program, I think it's a good program, but you'll learn much more from classes/language partners/etc. whilst in country. Rosetta Stone has value if you're not immersed.

send me a msg and ill do it for free....although i personally hate the program.....the other posters are right....you will learn a lot more and a lot faster talking to co-teachers or the web site

the other posters are all right. The issue with rosetta stone is that it is TOO much money for something you will learn everyday being in korea. I know a girl who works for them. At her job, its the best thing since sliced bread, off the job, its a great way to lose money that you dont want to give up. lol

pimsleur isnt too bad, of course there are plenty of courses you can take at hagwon/ language academies, depending on where you are located at.

Rosetta Stone is crap....best spend your money elsewhere on another program/book/internet learning site.

Hey Chad, I can't PM yet but shoot me an email if you don't mind davidkmw at gmail and I'll be happy to take you out to dinner or drinks or whatever to compensate you for your time. I live in Seoul.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm just looking for something I can do on my computer when i have some spare time, I'll take a look at the web link talktokoreans.

cheers!

I got mine off torrents


I dont think it's as bad as others are saying

if you're a visual learner and have time/patience to watch a few videos every day, it will actually be very helpful!

I found that I understood some concepts (especially grammar) a lot better through Rosetta than when Koreans trying to explain it to me

It's not a bad program and it's totally worth getting, but not worth the money

so yeah...

anyhoo
if you stil havent found it, pm me

IMO, you'll find it more helpful if you learn the Korean alphabet first. Otherwise you'll be trying to memorize the way things sound, but won't be able to read it and connect it to the words you see. There's a good book you can find in many bookstores through Seoul called Learn to Read Korean in 40 Minutes.

No better program, and this one's free.
