Tuk Com Rosetta Stone

[stray dog]

Today I purchased the Tuk Com copy of Rosetta Stone, '26 in 1'. I was somewhat suspicious but gave it a go, well I think what I got was a demo disc, level 1 of 26 languages. Has anyone else had this? Any one used the real McCoy?

I guess you got what they told you was on the disk...lol

 

You might be able to get it on bittorrent but I am not sure if it will be a legal copy..

 

BTW it si possible to get the real thing in Tucom for the same price as your demo disk as I have bought one in the past.

I have purchased the thai disc and it works fine. I would doubt the 26-1 disc is a demo as it is on a dvd. I also just downloaded pimsleur 30 lessons in thai. Lots of seeders last week

Thanks for the input guys. My disc just seemed to have a section in each language, fairly basic to say the least; cat, dog, girl, boy, girl with cat, boy with dog etc. It was on a DVD so I may give it another try!!

Hello all...I am looking for the full version of the Rosetta Stone on a USB flash. I am willing to pay way more than "a couple of beers" for this. please PM me....samuijim

I have had the Rosetta Stone Thai in ISO format on my computer for over a year and I have been too lazy to burn a copy of it and make use of it....

You can certainly get all 30 lessons of Pimsleur on torrent sites.

 

And, if you want it, you can get a copy of my crib-sheet of those lessons on an excel spreadsheet. Just provide your email details and I will forward it as an attachment.

 

I have not done Rosetta Stone, but I am not sure that I am missing too much, given the recent 'classifiers' topic where we discussed Rosetta and the camels standing on three and four legs.

do a torrent search and you can find Thai for rosetta stone. You need two downloads:

 

1. the rosetta stone application

2. the thai files for rosetta stone

 

Starting looking at this, I like the interface, but the vocabulary choices are not great, unless you want to talk about cats, dogs, and airplanes. But, I think this could be used in conjunction with Pimsleur (I prefer this). RStone is also good if you want to get into some reading writing (I don't!)

Yeah so far I don't like RS. I haven't pop'd in pimsleur just yet though. I have both and the RS.iso I got had the application already in the iso, so I didn't need to create a whole new disc. Thai seems to be a language not a lot of people are after, so it makes things that much harder to find good language building audios/videos, but I will keep on the look out and report back with any findings.

 

Reading/writing just isn't my thing. Be nice if a board member made his own movie/ebook/slideshow to go along with the common scripts in thailand, like pharmacy, restaurant, basics like that. Along with the most common phrases a bm may use.

Yeah, i'd pay money for that! My local library has a book "making out in Thai" - not quite sure why they picked this book - it has stuff about requesting blow jobs etc...but sadly it's overall not a great book -- and with no audio to go with it, likely to be pissing in the wind, when actually speaking the phrases to a thai -- think of how hard it is to work out what low-level English speakers are saying; and then add the confusion of tones! Probably end up with a girl sucking on your big toe, and thinking you are a kinky perv. and yeah, seems not a lot of really good quality materials.
