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!
