 Challenging but UsefulJul 01, 2010
By David N. Jackson
I've studied several languages, and used RosettaStone to study Spanish and Swedish.
This version is useful, and I'm glad it used Thai script. I was pleased to be able to read and recognize Thai script after the first lesson. The software presents the script along with speech with enough repetition to make it learnable. It is good to be able to learn the sounds of the script as it is used in speech. Online compilations of Thai script can be used as a supplement for the sounds of individual characters, but the product doesn't teach characters individually.
As of lesson 10, this version has avoided the problem of gender specific word endings, and I wonder how they will be handled.
This version didn't use the microphone that comes with the included USB headset to compare my speech with a native speaker. Thai uses sounds that are not used in English. This is a negative.
I sometimes wonder who chose the content for RosettaStone. There are certain phrases that are essential for a person trying to learn a language while living in a foreign country, and they are absent for all the versions of RosettaStone I have used.
Finally, the home school version requires installation of the SMS administrator first, which is cumbersome, but the person I got when calling RosettaStone tech support was excellent.

 Don't Waste you money on this oneJan 29, 2010

If you can read this, then the software may work for you.
ËÒ¡¤Ø³ÊÒÁÒöÍèÒ¹¹ÕéáÅéÇ«Í¿µìáÇÃì·ÕèÊÒÁÒö·Ó§Ò¹ÊÓËÃѺ¤Ø³.
If you can not read the line above, then don't waste your hard earned money.
The software is written in traditional Thai, with only a few english words in the whole thing. There was no way I could use this product.
Many Thai language books offer something like this "Swadee-krab" Greating - Hello
Where this package would only say the words in THAI and present you with ËÒ¡¤Ø³ÊÒÁÒö
As a non-thai speaker or reader, how can I learn?

Rosetta stone level 1 ThaiJun 15, 2011
By Sandra J. Leathery
It's terrible- needs a password to get into the actual lessons ! Not provided! When we call the Rosetta stone number supplied for help- we get passed around & then cut off. In 2 months of trying we have only been able to access the 'trial lesson' & no one at RS seems to know what to do! Don't buy from Amazon- I'll have to go to the company site to get one that WORKS! What a waste of $$$!
