When I started this program, the words quality and comprehensive came to mind. Not once did I have to repeat myself or receive a false-negative pronunciation error while using the headset. The headset included in the package is well-built and works flawlessly with the software. Progression of the speech recognition eases the student into this difficult and enigmatic language without the need for any previous knowledge of the language’s lexicon or grammatical constructions. Absent in previous versions, students of Latin can now learn to speak the language rather than just listen to the language being spoken by someone else.

The most important upgrade is the addition of speech recognition to the Latin program.

Users of the new version 3 will be happy to know that the software has been expanded to include far more material, exercises, and options in line with other version 3 language programs. In a previous review of Latin version 2, level 1, my only real complaint was that the software was not as comprehensive as other Rosetta Stone offerings due to its long time resistance to upgrading the software to three levels. Initial Reactions to Rosetta Stone’s Latin Language Software (5 out of 5)įor those familiar to version 2 of Rosetta Stone’s language program, users will be pleasantly surprised by the upgrade to version 3 and the addition of two additional levels. To my surprise, Rosetta Stone not only upgraded the Latin language software to version 3, it also added two more levels to the program as well. At first, I erroneously assumed that the publisher might be phasing the language out due to low interest in the language, juxtaposed with more accessible and popular languages such as Spanish, French, and German. Until recently, Rosetta Stone only offered one level of Latin and the Latin language program was not upgraded to version 3 of the software along with all of its other language programs. Interestingly, Rosetta Stone offers Latin, its only dead language program, among much more practical languages. Rosetta Stone is well known for publishing excellent language learning software covering over 30 languages including Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, and many more.
