Then it schedules the lessons sequence that will help you meet that goal (example, full year vs speaking and listening only). Version 3 has you pick a set of goals/study profile when you set up a new student.

With the older versions, there was a separate Student Management Software disk that you installed in order to schedule lessons. I'm not sure there is much of a difference anymore if you're talking about Version 3. Rainbow I see offers the homeschool version for 10% off - is there anywhere that offers a better discount on the hs version, and if not is it worth paying the extra money for it? the other? Any other differences or benefits?Īnd she could get the regular version at B&N or Borders for 30% off during the upcoming teacher appreciation days.
Does the regular version have tracking for just one person, or not at all? Are there more printed or grammar materials in one version vs. the "regular" version? She will only have one kid per language (one wants to learn German, the other Spanish - my mom speaks both), so she doesn't have to track multiple students. In this situation, is there a benefit of using the homeschool version vs. They both like the computer, so she thought this could be a good idea. I'm actually asking this for my mom - she'd like to teach my nephews and wants something that they can (and actually will) work on over the week consistently and willingly. This probably doesn't answer your question, but I hope it helps close the gap a little. So, again, the extras may not be necessary depending on what you consider language "mastery". It testes you on words as you go through the program, so word recognition, even strange "sqiggles" I've never seen before, became familiar to me. I tried the Arabic just for fun and was actually recognizing some of the words. The Rosetta Stone program I have shows the words for the pictures in parts of the program. I used spanish to talk to people on the job on occaission, but I can't say that writing in spanish ever saved my life or even came in useful. If you can write in english you can automatically read common languages like spanish, italian, etc. If I could go back I would just learn to speak the darn language, and then use it as much as possible. Personally, I took 4 years of spanish in high school, wrote in spanish, etc.
#ROSETTA STONE SPANISH HOME SCHOOL HOW TO#
How many uneducated people in foregn countries can use their language better than most of us but don't know how to read or write it? Our own children speak fluently and can get around town without reading and writing. I don't know, speaking philosphically, if I'd call writing in a language "mastery". If you are really wanting mastery of the language, you may want to just start with the talking part and move to the writing part later so it's not so involved. The testing part may be useful if you are wanting to see if dc can write the language (if the program tests that, I don't know) but if you are learning the language with your child then you can probably tell how much they are retaining by talking in the language to dc, using when you run errands, etc. Like the TWTM books says to hire (or ask a bi-lingual neighbor you can pay cheap) to come have conversation with you for 1 hour, twice a week. What I am trying to say is that all the extras in the homeschool version are not "necessary" to learn the language. From what I understand and that has been suggested to me by bi-lingual friends is that the language has to be spoken and used for it to matter. I only have the regular version and cannot see the point in buying the homeschool one too.
