Rosetta Stone help

[MrGrey]

ok help me out here... just downloaded rosetta stone learn japanese.  Here is my issue, im gona try to draw you a mental picture

When i click on the first lesson it has a bunch of pictures with japanese words on them and it asks me to chose which is which.. but where is the english translation so i know what the fuck it is?  Some pictures are easily deduced like cat, dog, boy, girl, etc... but for others i cant tell what the fuck it is, where does it have the english translation?  Any idea?

Stop downloading shit halfass cracked versions and get a full version from a private tracker.

If I'm not mistaken the whole point it's setup in that way is so that you will learn Japanese. Seems silly, I know...


If I remember playing with this myself, there are 4 different methods it gives you for learning Japanese. One is the method you're describing here, but there are others; were you not given a choice?

And the Rosetta stone just works that way
Trial and error d00d you aren't going to learn jack having answers given to you ffs.

BUT - a cracked version doesn't come with the bundled workbook a retail copy does. So you're getting a half assed lesson either way.

i have a perfect copy.

i have a perfect copy.

Then you shouldn't be having these problems.

Like I said before, Rosetta Stone, at least for the Japanese modules, offers you a few different ways to learn; there are methods where the text is in english and someone speaks the Japanese word, there are no words and only pictures and you must match it with the word in the language you're trying to learn, and some others I can't remember.

Just take some more time and look around, I'm sure you can figure it out. I guess if I have to I can always try installing it again myself and see if I can get a step-by-step but I remember it being a pretty simple way to choose and you should be able to either a> figure it out yourself or b> use google/Rosetta Stone FAQ's.

Grey can hardly even construct proper grammar in English, why would he bother with japanese.

I have full versions for several languages, there's an english menu for all of them prior to starting that allows selection of what type of sessions you want to do (such as a full course or seperate, specific lessons for grammar, numbers, etc.) If you have one of the old shit cracked copies, you get to jump into the nomenu version and start guessing.
