[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son found that for learning a brand new language (middle school age) Rosetta Stone was great, but for reinforcing a language he was studying in school not so much. The program is very picky about accents, and would not always give credit for right answers spoken in a slightly different way, which was incredibly frustrating (and he has a good enough ear to identify the problem but couldn't quite match what the program wanted).[/quote] I've got Rosetta Stone for Latin American Spanish and I think it's great--I do agree that sometimes I could not get past the program when repeating things, but you can turn that feature off (or maybe make it allow less precision; I can't remember what I did but it's fine now) That being said, I thought this short TED talk was helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0yGdNEWdn0[/quote]
