Rosetta Stone Foreign Language Software - Homeschool Edition
Rosetta Stone is world-renowned for their language software -- now homeschool families can benefit from this easy-to-use program that uses a total immersion method proven to be the most effective way to learn a new language. 

Once you are accustomed to how the program works, you will find it very easy to use.  it is immersion-based so there is no translation required. Additionally, there is no rote memorization and no boring drill work. Instead students progress through "lessons" -- a unit of material, learning words as they listen, watch and interact with the program. After a guided introduction to the unit's words, students begin mastering the new material through several different Skill Groups. Each focuses on different ways to approach the langauge including listening, reading/comprehension, writing and (if you have a microphone) speaking the language. Many of the exercises have a built in timer, encouraging students to respond more quickly as they progress.  The systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. Previews, exercises and tests accompany every lesson with automated tutorials throughout the program. 

Of course, parents also need a way of tracking/managing their students progress. Each Rosetta Stone Homeschool program comes with a Student Management System. From here parents can assign lessons and monitor progress. Time spent on lessons and mastery of each level can be checked and charted through printable forms. You can even set minimum proficiency levels, so the student can't move ahead unless they really have understood the current unit. Because each student has their own login, you can use this one program with ALL the kids in your family! 

We have found this program to be like having a tutor come to your home!  By the time your student completes Levels 1 and 2, they will have had 210 lessons - close to 800 hours of instruction.  Older students can receive the up to 4 years of high school credit by completing both levels, while younger students can easily use the material as well.  Because it is self-paced and you have the option of using the workbooks, or just focusing on the computer program to becoming familiar with the language, Rosetta Stone is ideal for use with children of all ages.  The variety of skills used to teach the language make this great for all types of learners.

Rosetta Stone can be used with Windows of Macintosh systems.  The publisher, Fairfield Language Technologies, offers a 6-month money-back guarantee, free tech support AND they allow users to exchange their product for a different language.  They offer over 20 different languages, so if we don't carry the one you are looking for, just let us know and we'll order it for you at no extra cost to you!
