Thoughts on Rosetta Stone: Chinese Explorer

The first software I used to learn Chinese was Rosetta Stone: Chinese Explorer. I got off to a good start with it. The idea is to hear Chinese and identify the picture that the Chinese refers to. It also works in reverse, where you are given a picture and you have to identify the Chinese. This isn't too hard and you pick up vocabulary quickly. The problem is that the program gets REAL BORING. The worst is the drill where you are given 4 pictures in order and have to listen to 4 sentences to identify which one matches the picture. You have to listen to the same 4 sentences 4 times each. I finally gave up when I couldn't take it any more.
