Rosetta Stone

I just finished my first lesson with rosetta stone to get my japanese prepped. I must say I am quite horrible! Especially at pronunciation. There are questions that have you repeat simple pronunciations. If you get the pronunciation "close enough" you get a satisfying "BLING" and move onto the next question. If not you get a "boink" noise. If you had been listening into my lesson, it went something like this:

Roseatta: Something unitelligible in Japanese
Me: konechi oin FU**!
Rosetta: BOINK
Me: I know!
Roseatta: BOINK
Me: (huge sigh) Koneeechi oun...
Rosetta: BOINK
ME: FU**!
Rosetta: BOINK
ME: I KNOW DAMMIT!
Rosetta: BOINK
ME: (sigh)
Rosetta: BOINK
ME: Koneechi unou...
Rosetta: BOINK

and so on and so forth until 5 minutes later I get a BLING!!! for only getting part of it right...its like it finally felt sorry for me or tired of saying "BOINK"
