Free Indeed Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am wanting to order a Spanish program for my children this year. If you have used and/or researched either what is your opinion on these programs? I want something for someone that is easy to implement with no knowledge needed for the teacher.

vettechmomof2 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We tried out the Learnables program at a hs coference one year and could not understand what the sound was saying. They claimed it was all of the background noise at the fair BUT there is also a lot of background noise at my house every day:tongue_smilie: so that was an issue for us of why we chose to stay away from the Learnables. Good luck and def. excited to hear others experiences with RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnetteB Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We have the Learnables in Spanish & German. I like them better than the kids do. We have Power Glide Spanish in two levels and enjoy that. Ds, 20, purchased Rosetta Stone German for himself last year and he and his sister are enjoying it a lot. He loves all things computer and I think that the program appeals more to the modern kid than the cassette tapes and books of the Learnables. They were able to spend a month in Europe last spring with our oldest dd and their German was passable. We also have two other German programs in dd's room just now and I can't think of their names(she is still sleeping). Like every other subject of study, I find that different approaches work for different students. Working through one method and then another only strengthens their understanding and knowledge. Learnables is the best program for the littlest students I think and then they work up through Power Glide and then on to Rosetta. my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
