Is Rosetta Stone Spanish a decent program?
Rosetta Stone makes it simple to learn Spanish by showing you in the same way that you learned English, through word with image association. Rosetta Stone helps you understand everyday language through the proficiency based listening and reading activities, and is very similar to the total immersion method, but it has been pushed up a notch.
Every bit as effective as Spanish Pimsleur and much more user friendly than Spanish FSI, Rosetta Stone Spanish just may be an ideal Spanish language learning program. Rosetta Stone Spanish provides simple to use tools to help you learn Spanish without listening to a single word of English, and helps you learn to speak with a built in speech recognition system.
Rosetta Stone has earned a number of awards from software magazines and associations concerned with language learning such as textbook publishers and homeschooling magazines, among them the Gold Awards for Best CD-ROMs used in School and Best CD-ROM for Language Learning i-Magic Awards in 1996 and the Best Software in Second Language Foreign Language Learning Program annual awards by ComputED magazine in 1994 and 1996.
With over 3500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons the Spanish Level I Personal Edition provides up to 250 hours of mastery instruction which includes: Listening Comprehension, Reading, Speaking and Writing.
