"Undisclosed Installation Limitiation - Requires CD to Play"
This software requires the CD-ROM to always be present to play. This does not work on my laptop when the CD-ROM drive is removed.

This limitation was not listed anywhere that I found and was not apparent until after installation.

The learning process was exactly the same a the Web version, except there is no tracking of progress or test results in this version.

"Quite Helpful"
I've used these for other languages and did know hanguel, the Korean writing system, so I didn't encounter the problems others did. I'm a rather intuitive learner and prefer this to sitting in a class waiting for others to catch on. Here I can go at my own pace.

It's important to start with the guided exercises and then do the tests or other activities. That way you get better hints on what the answer is. You do that till you feel you've mastered something, and then move on. You are able to choose the order and time you spend on something and can hear a lot of Korean.

Much better than a tape series in my opinion.

"This is the famous Rosetta Stone software?"
So this is the software so highly recommended? Well my rating for this software would be 0/5 if I could. I began this software already knowing hangeul so that was not the main problem. The main problem was when using the program, the pictures can have multiple meanings (and there is NO english translation to let you know which of your guesses is right). I understand their concept of total immersion but when the pictures can be so vague in meaning, it makes it not a very good program. And considering that I read hangeul, if you were to have a beginner who did not know hangeul this program would NOT work. Rosetta Stone is not what it is all cracked up to be.

"Bad Deal"
The oft-touted six-month money-back guarantee is no good if you buy this product on Amazon. We found that out the hard way by calling Rosetta Stone. The representative said that any of their products are not guaranteed unless bought directly from their website or stores. Ouch!
The reason we wanted to return it is that the written portion of the program is in Korean characters and not Romanized. Therefore, it's very hard to understand the details of things being said. We turned to a different system and it's working much better!

"would be 0"
I wrote a review previously, but it seems to have "disappeared". This software is terrible. Even my native korean friends laughed at the content. It's too formal and would never help you understand someone else speaking korean. Don't waste your money!
