Rosetta Stone Software

Consider this before you buy this expensive program.
1. Learning a new language is rewarding, but it also requires a lot of time. A student that takes this language course should be motivated since Rosetta Stone is a learning system and will take a year working every day in order to become fluent enough to really use the language.

2. If your student is committed to learning a language, seriously consider buying all 3 levels of Rosetta Stone at once. Even though it is expensive, it is far cheaper that buying the years one at a time. Besides, you won't need 3 sets of headphones.

Supplemental products to use with Rosetta Stone: (Substitute your language choice  for Spanish in the following suggestions)
A Spanish/English dictionary
Spanish children's books from the library
Watch movies in Spanish or watch Spanish TV if available
(hearing the language will help you with the sound and rhythm of the language.)

If you need to learn more about Rosetta Stone, they offer a free lesson CD. Try that first.
