Choosing between two Rosetta Stone CD courses comes down to language and scope. If you're working on Greek, the Audio Companions set covers Levels 1 and 3 in one package. If German is your target, the standalone Level 1 course offers a focused start at a lower listed price. Both are CD-based language courses from Rosetta Stone, but they serve different learners. Here's how they compare for education language reference software shoppers.
Quick verdict
The Greek product is the pick when you want Rosetta Stone's Audio Companions for two skill levels-Levels 1 and 3-in a single CD set. It lists at $23.00. The German product costs less at $11.99 and is a sensible choice if you're a Windows user starting German from Level 1. Condition differs too: the Greek set is marked Acceptable, while the German CD is Very Good. Your decision largely depends on which language you need and how many levels you're ready to tackle.

Product notes
Rosetta Stone Greek Audio Companions Language Learning Software Levels 1 & 3
This CD set is aimed at Greek learners who want Audio Companions for Levels 1 and 3. The package is built around the Rosetta Stone method, with the companion audio designed to reinforce lessons from those levels. Since it's a two-level audio companion set, it gives you more material to work through than a single-level course. That broader scope helps justify the $23.00 price for Greek students. The condition is listed as Acceptable, so you'll want to be comfortable with a used CD that shows some wear. If your study plan starts at Level 1 and jumps to Level 3, this set could match your path directly.
Rosetta Stone: German level 1 - Audio Language Learning Software •No Headphones
This CD focuses on German Level 1, making it a straightforward entry point for beginners. The listing price is $11.99, the lower of the two products, and the condition is Very Good. It also notes Windows as the supported operating system, which is a helpful signal if you're running a Windows PC. The title explicitly says no headphones are included, so you'll need your own pair or speakers to listen to the audio lessons. If you're after a single-level start in German and don't mind supplying your own listening gear, this is a direct, lower-priced option.
Final choice by use case
Start with the Greek Audio Companions if your goal is to learn Greek and you specifically need Audio Companions for Levels 1 and 3. You're paying $23.00 for two levels in one set.
Pick the German Level 1 if you're a Windows user beginning German and want a single-level CD course at a lower listed price. At $11.99, it's the more wallet-friendly starting point, just remember to have your own headphones ready.
