chelsea in TN Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I know this has been covered before but after searching 3+ pages of the results of a search I hope someone will not mind answering this YET AGAIN :) My DS has completed Lev I RS Spanish and has started Lev II. He has completed all the worksheets and tests. He has an average of both computer grading and written work of 97%. He is also doing Madrigal's magic Key to Spanish - very slowly 1 lesson per wk - we just started a few weeks ago (or shall I say restarted it - it got laid to the side for a while). So where does this equal Spanish I?? My plans were to have him complete Level 1-3 plus worksheets and Madrigal's magic Key to Spanish + a few advanced grammar bks - I have one called The Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice by Ronni L Gordon. Would this be enough for Spanish I/II or would I need to add something like the self teaching guides to Spanish Grammar or the practice makes perfect series? TIA, chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wildberrys Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 How is Rosetta Stone Spanish I, using all the worksheets and tests not considered "real" Spanish I?? I have heard this before and I don't buy it. Is the goal of taking Spanish in high school to learn to speak or not---then how does picking apart all those verb tenses help with that? I took French from 4th grade all the way through college----and STILL cannot speak fluently because the focus was on workbooks and verbs! :glare: So---my kids are using Rosetta Stone with all the worksheets and tests---and each year I will list it as Spanish I, Spanish II etc! I have a feeling the "not real Spanish I" police will not be investigating----and hopefully my kids will be actually "speaking' and understanding Spanish :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea in TN Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hmmm.. So I could give credit for Spanish I, II, and III using Rosetta Stone with the worksheets and tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wildberrys Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well, I am pretty sure that is why RS supplies us with that for homeschool version. So, as long as my kids complete ALL of the schedule--I don't see why it would not be a full credit. In fact, some umbrella schools consider a year of RS as 2 credits!

Guest mgalvin5 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So you really like the RS spanish program? I'm still on the fence for my 12 son and 7 daughter. 10 son wants to continue w/french as he has already had 3 years at a parochial school.
