Choosing education language reference software in CD form means weighing the language you need, the level coverage you want, and the listed price you are willing to accept. The four Rosetta Stone CD-based programs here line up across a $11.99 to $29.79 span: German Level 1 is the lowest-priced listing, Spanish Latin America Levels 1-5 is the widest set, and Greek and Portuguese sit in the middle.
Quick Take
If you are learning German and want a single level of audio instruction, the German Level 1 software is the lowest-priced listing in the group. If Spanish is your goal, the Latin America Levels 1-5 CD set gives you the broadest path from one box. Greek learners have one obvious option: the Audio Companions set. Portuguese learners get an open-box Level 1 CD for PC. The real trade-off is scope: a five-level Spanish set costs more, while single-level German and Portuguese sets cost less. The Greek set is a niche pick because it is the only Greek-focused listing and it comes with condition caveats.

Decision Matrix
- Choose German Level 1 if a single Windows-compatible audio course at the lowest listed price is enough for now.
- Choose Portuguese Level 1 if you want an open-box CD set that was opened and never used, with Portuguese as your target language.
- Choose Greek Audio Companions if you need a Greek-specific audio companion set and can accept the missing Level 2 Audio Companion and Acceptable condition.
- Choose Spanish Levels 1-5 if you want the most level coverage in one purchase and can plan around the included CDs.
Product Notes
Rosetta Stone Greek Audio Companions Language Learning Software Levels 1 & 3
This is the only Greek-language option in the four-product comparison, so it stands apart if Greek is your target. The title points to Audio Companion lessons for Levels 1 & 3, while the Level 2 Audio Companion is missing, so it is not a complete audio companion run. The condition is listed as Acceptable, which matters if you expect a pristine set. That combination makes it a focused choice: you get Greek content, but you need to accept the missing disc and the listed condition. For a Greek learner who already has course materials and only wants the audio companion portion, this set fills that niche.
Rosetta Stone Spanish Latin America Levels 1-5 Language-Learning Software CD Set
Spanish learners get the most level depth from this listing: it spans Levels 1 through 5 in a multi-disc CD set. The package includes the outer slipcover, inner folding disc wallet, application CD, and Spanish course CDs only; no manuals or other accessories are included, so do not expect printed support material. The Spanish content is Latin America-focused, which is useful if that regional variety matches your goal. With the five-level span, this is the listing for someone who wants to progress beyond a single level in one purchase. It is the highest-priced set in the comparison, but it is also the only one that covers five levels.
Rosetta Stone: German Level 1 - Audio Language Learning Software •No Headphones
This is the lowest-priced listing in the group, and the title is direct about one catch: no headphones are included, so you need your own headphones or speakers. It is a German Level 1 audio course built for Windows, with Very Good condition noted. That makes it a low-cost starting point for someone who wants to try German with one level and already has the needed audio hardware. The limitation is scope: there is no Level 2 or higher included, so this is not a long-term complete curriculum. If your goal is a low-priced first CD and you can supply your own headphones, this listing is the practical one.
Rosetta Stone Level 1 Portuguese Language Learning Software New Open Box PC
Portuguese learners get a Level 1 CD set marked New Open Box, and the item was opened and never used. This is a PC-oriented listing, matching the title's PC reference. It offers Portuguese at a single level, so it will not carry you through multiple levels the way the Spanish set does. The open-box framing is worth understanding: the software is still described as new, but the package is not sealed. For someone who only wants to start Portuguese and prefers CD-based study, this listing sits comfortably between the German listing and the Greek listing in price.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For German: the German Level 1 audio software at $11.99 is the lowest-priced listing, but bring your own headphones and accept one level.
- For Spanish: the Latin America Levels 1-5 set at $29.79 is the broadest choice if you want five levels and can work without printed manuals.
- For Greek: the Greek Audio Companions set at $23.00 is the only Greek option, though the Level 2 Audio Companion is missing and condition is Acceptable.
- For Portuguese: the Portuguese Level 1 open-box CD at $22.99 works if you want a single Level 1 disc for PC and are okay with an opened-but-never-used set.
