Our 8th graders were asked to share some positive experiences about using the Rosetta Stone program to learn Spanish!
Joshua- "I like the program because it walks you through learning Spanish and it makes it easy for beginners."
Liam- "I like that each student can learn at his/her own pace, which allows us to fully learn the content."
Ava B.- "I like the independence portion. Unlike an open classroom environment, the teacher focuses on you and only you. You feel much more accomplished then when you pass."
Angellina- "It helps me learn at my own pace. This helps me read and speak Spanish better."
Ethan- "The program is very independent and it is easy to use and understand. Rosetta Stone really is a fun tool to learn a new language."
Madeline- "We get to learn three ways: by reading, speaking, and seeing pictures. This helps us understand conversational Spanish that we can really use, instead of just learning and memorizing facts."
Shane- "It is helpful that you can work at your own pace."
Angellica- "It helps me understand Spanish more and how to speak it properly."
Dominik- "It is easier to understand and you can go at your own pace while learning."
Darin- "You can learn at your own pace instead of having to keep up with the whole class."
Olivia- "It is a great way to learn Spanish, especially if you were having difficulties learning it before. It also teachers you what you want to say and how to say it.
Chris- "You can learn how to pronounce Spanish properly and speak more fluently from this program."
Jonathan- "You learn how to both speak and understand Spanish. It also helps you learn alongside native speakers."
Aidan- "It is a great program because it lets you work at your own pace. It is also interactive, and you can always check your own progress."
Heidi- "It helps you interact with real people which helps you become more fluent in speaking Spanish."
Pablo- "It is really easy to use this program."
Andrew- "I like using the headphones and that the program is interactive. It is cool to speak to the program because then you are really speaking Spanish."
Giacomo- "I like that you can go at your own pace and take your time learning."
Jack- "I like that we get to practice our pronunciation, so if we ever visit a Spanish speaking country, we can feel confident we are saying the words right."
Dominick- "I like that we can work at our own pace."
Sean- "I like that it is interactive and we get to speak the words aloud, instead of just writing the words on paper."
Anthony- "It really is a fun way to learn Spanish and I find it easy to understand."
Selin- "I like using this program so I can work at my own pace."
Nicolette- "We can take our own time to learn which is great, especially if you reach a skill that you are having trouble with."
Pamela- "It helps us learn at our own pace and I feel like I am getting a better understanding of Spanish by learning this way."
Julianna- "I feel like I am learning more Spanish and learning more quickly than in a regular class."
Kenzie- "It is fun learning at my own pace."
Michael- "I like that this program allows you to work at your own speed."
It sounds like our new computer based Spanish program is a hit with our 8th graders!
