"What do you have?" he asks you (in this case, in Spanish). "Pan," you reply (that's Spanish for bread). Very soon you're having whole conversations, naturally, in a new language—as you learn more every day ...
Learn one of 31 languages with this game-like "natural method" that lets YOU set the pace, and makes you want to keep going.
Rosetta Stone is the only foreign language program we've tried—and we've tried a lot of them—that has generated enough internal motivation within our kids to keep them studying the language on their own. Why? Because it's fun! And not just fun—it's almost addicting.
But beyond the program's amazing motivational powers, what has me hooked is Rosetta Stone's "natural" or "immersion" approach.
Rosetta Stone customers tell us the program is equivalent to two years of high school study or one year of college study. The publisher designed their product to encompass the material so that Level 1 is a beginner level, Level 2 is intermediate, and so on. Rosetta Stone does not guarantee your ability to learn the language, they do guarantee your satisfaction with the product. As administrator of your homeschool, you will determine the criteria for awarding credit hours, using your state's requirements for hours of study and the student's study time.

What do you get in Version 3?
- Contextual Formation™ design gets right into the most practical everyday words and phrases your students can begin to use immediately...
- Level 1 programs include basic conversational skills, greetings and introductions, colors, adjectives, numbers, prepositions, definite/indefinite articles, singular/plural nouns, family relations, the five senses, and time of day.
- Level 2 includes directions and transportation, past and future tenses, adverbs, formal imperatives, school subjects, months of the year, social dialogues, emotions, and sequencing with first/then/finally.
- Level 3 covers household items, physical activities, animals, possessive pronouns, present subjunctive, portions, weights and other measurements, and opposing concepts (such as no one/everyone, remember/forget, and nothing/everything).
- Levels 4 & 5 scheduling and rescheduling appointments, arranging home repairs, planning to move abroad, careers, conducting interviews, government and citizenship, industry terms, problem-solving and commercial transactions
- Adaptive Recall™ actively tracks your students' progress through each lesson, and then efficiently adapts their review (if they need it) to reinforce strengths and patiently train any problem areas.
- Milestone Lessons take lesson-and-review up a notch. When they pass these real-life conversation simulations, your students are ready to move on to the next unit. If they don't quite make it, you'll be glad that Adaptive Recall can help keep their practice time focused on the skills they need to proceed.
- Your "Student Management System" is now stored right on the main application disc. So what? Well, if you've ever used a program where you had to frequently stop everything to swap discs, then you probably know what a hassle that can be.
