Thanks for your response! Yeah it is a bit of a problem. Although the techies at Rosetta are brilliant and very helpful I do find it frustrating that their setup is so speed critical, especially where in the UK, not many of the ISP's can offer such speeds to private home users! however,I will keep trying! Thanks again for responding. Best Regards Daisy HI Judie!!

Good luck in your studies! =) Hi daisy — I was able to do do the lessons and the games, but I was never able to get online to do a lesson with another student; my satellite speeds were just too poor.

Like you were I am extremely frustrated by not being able to do my online training due to allegedly poor upload speeds. Like you my download is very good 6152 in fact however, my upload speed is a mere 372. The techies at Rosetta stone are extremely helpful and patient but.... I cannot join any studio sessions due to my figures, so I was surprised to see that you managed it [well done sir!] with your figure being half of my results!! how on earth did you do it??Help!!!! Regards Hi!

You can also play both back and compare. This way, you start to get confident that you aren't sounding "like a total gringa."
