I want them to hear the language correctly (since I have a horrible accent) and learn that way. I’m hoping this comes into play in the upper levels.īut my kids are young. But Rosetta Stone emphasizes learning to speak, not how the language is put together. This annoys me because I would like my kids to know. I explain the grammar side and I feel as an adult I would be curious to know what I was speaking.įor instance, they do not go over the endings. I like this approach for my kids but I find myself explaining a lot of what they are doing. There is a written portion as you go along and it does appear on the screen. You listen and then choose based off of what you’ve heard. They believe in teaching you like you learned as a baby: hearing it and mimicking the sounds.

It was a lot to cough up ($459 I paid but it appears the price has risen) but it offered a savings over the years and I looked at it as that. So I broke down and invested in all 5 years. I had heard so much about it and it always gets great reviews. I knew before we even started homeschooling I wanted to try Rosetta Stone for my family.

Hence, these are my honest opinions and assessments on the curriculum. Introductory Note: I purchased this on my own.
