Title: Rosetta Stone
Post by: Winters on September 13, 2012, 04:15:01 PM
I'm looking to get back on the spanish-speaking train, as any ability I accrued two years ago has worn off, and the dearth of beautiful spanish speaking women in Austin make it necessary to undertake such a project. Other than purchasing/craigslist, anyone know of any mac-appropriate download sites for Spanish 1-5/ if you've used it has it been successful for you?

A canadian friend of mine a torrent of one a few years back that had all the languages on it.  Then he accidently deleted it off of his laptop.  I assume it can still be found in a similar manner

The problem with Rosetta Stone is people treat it like an upgrade download from the matrix.
