Who is it aimed at? Rosetta Stone Spanish is ideal for those who would like to learn to speak and understand real Spanish fast. Because it's easy to use, both children and adults can follow this course.
What will Rosetta Stone do for you? It will help you speak and understand real, everyday Spanish through simple lessons and activities. You'll learn quickly the most practical aspects of the language. You will develop a solid foundation which will allow you to speak and build your own sentences from the beginning, and it will boost your confidence by giving you constructive feedback after each activity is completed.
Developing a good accent is an integral part of the program, and there are plenty of activities aimed at improving your pronunciation.
The topics covered include: greetings, simple questions, introducing yourself and others, asking for directions, time and dates, at the restaurant, shopping, meeting people, traveling around, life at work, personal interests, etc.
How does Rosetta Stone work? Its teaching method is based on image-word-sound associations. On the screen you get images of familiar objects, situations or short sentences, together with the Spanish words that describe them, and at the same time you hear a native speaker say the words you see. As you progress, those words and sentences get more and more complex.
Every lesson and activity encourages you to speak and listen, so you quickly start to develop those skills. When you complete an activity, the program gives you "marks" and stores them so you can see how much progress you're making. The idea is to create a classroom-like environment.
Rosetta Stone Spanish Version 3, the latest version, is an improvement on Version 2. Not only does it sound better, but the images have been upgraded and the course is more interactive.
