Will Rosetta Stone HELP me become fluent?
I know it doesn't really cover verbs so well, but say if I purchased a good verb/grammar book and used both of them would I be able become nearly fluent in a language? I want to learn Italian and if I bought it I would get levels 1-5. Any experiences/reviews are helpful!

Rosetta Stone will definitely not help me become fluent. It is helpful for beginners and it is for a very good start. Here is a quite extensive review on it - http://www.englishlearningstory.com/2011/08/30/my-...

Yeah, I did Rosetta Stone French, and it definitely helped, and it's great and easy to use. I completed all five levels however, and I'm definitely not fluent (yet).

Rosetta Stone is extreme high quality in that it immediately links you to the language. i locate it problematical often times and that i'm no longer able to consistently tell that i've got discovered something. yet it is the way it works. you start to verify the language sub-consciously. It helps you to think of in yet another language. So i think of that is going to help.

it will HELP, but it definitely wont do it all. your book would help too, but to really become fluent, you would need (a). an italian teacher (preferably born in italy) or (b). to travel to italy and just immerse yourself in their language. i know it seems like it would be hard to learn anything that way since you dont know much italian from the start, but believe me it works well

It will HELP, but it's hard to get used to. Just make sure you keep at it, it takes a lot more than going through the lessons once!

from what I've heard it's too expensive compared to the little it offers
