Rosetta Stone Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin American) Level 1-5 Set with Audio Companion Homeschool Edition, Version 3

Rosetta Stone's interactive, immersion-method course has helped thousands of students to easily master a new language. Vivid imagery, native voices, and real-life exercises foster speaking, understanding, reading and writing intuitively from the first exercise to the last, while speech recognition technology provides instant feedback and improved pronunciation. Grammar and spelling components build comprehensive skills, while real-life simulated conversations test fluency.

Rosetta Stone students progress independently at their own pace. Parents can choose whether to use a preloaded lesson plan or full-year curriculum track, create their own lessons, or use an alternate program to focus on specific skills such as listening & speaking or reading & writing. Students are tested periodically, automatically advancing as their scores improve through reviewing weaker areas. At the completion of a unit, students complete a "Milestone Activity" in which they must speak into the microphone and participate in a conversation. The built-in reporting tool gives parents the ability to view, print and export student results, including completed exercises, current lesson progress, scores, and time spent learning.

Reinforce your language skills anywhere, anytime with the audio companion; five audio activities per level correspond with the computer lessons and provide additional conversation practice. At home or on the go, you can redeem the time by improving your pronunciation, vocabulary, phrases, speaking & conversation skills. MP3 Files.

Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin American) Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 Homeschool Edition, Version 3, provides a foundation of key vocabulary and language skills, including directions, greetings, introductions, adjectives, time, emotion, works, interests, household items, animals, possessive pronouns, measurements, basic grammar, and more.

    While the material is good we have had nothing but problems with the program itself. It consistently locks up and will not work. After repeated attempts to get it fixed with "customer service" we have about given up.
    Not worth the money!

    I purchased Rosetta Stone Spanish Levels I-V for my homeschooled daughter. She breezed through half of Level II in just one month, with a solid handle on both grammar and pronunciation. She said in school the teacher holds everyone back for the slow students. But with Rosetta Stone she learns at her pace.

    We are very impressed with this product. The technology encourages good pronunciation. Several different Latin American voices help represent the wide range of accents. We have the homeschool version and are pleased with the ease of monitoring all students (ages 7-adult). The only tricky thing is when sometimes the younger ones are unsure which word is being represented (raise your hand vs. the students). Might be shocking to immersion-language-purists, but we answer any vocab or grammar questions as they come up...questions in context get answered around here. So far the kids are content to log about an hour a day...good sign!

    Product arrived in a very timely fashion. Had several technical problems with software that were addressed by Rosetta Stone support staff. It took working with a tech for several hours to remedy the problem - some on this end some on theirs. We love Rosetta Stone, though. Our 13 year old is on Level Two and continues to be self-motivated. It's very rewarding to listen to his growing command of the language.

    Sooooo easy to learn!!! I highly recommend this! It really puts you right into the language. My only hang up is that I'm worried that I'll be able to read and write better than I can speak it lol
