| Living Language |  | comment form amazon customer 1) COST - obviously paying $125 for this program vs. $500 for Rosetta Stone is a huge bonus for me. 2) LEARnING PROCESS - This system focuses on reading through chapters with exercises and listening to audio files to support the chapters. The content in the audio files is just like the book. Where audio files help the most is if you don't know how to pronounce the words it helps to hear it and hit rewind over and over again. | 4 | 9 | 49 - 125 | |
