Which Is Right For You?
Reviews:"At first, this package of 7 CDs is confusing and rather disappointing. There are no clear instructions that give users a sense of where to begin, and if they follow the numerical order of the CDs, they'll be frustrated. "On closer inspection, however, some of the individual programs in the set are very worthwhile, especially for children. First and foremost, forget playing the program in numerical sequence. Children should begin with disk #7, which is called Spanish Plus and is actually Rosetta Stone Explorer. This title is unique in its approach to foreign language learning. Although it is rather repetitive, the learning process is intuitive and natural for young children. The program teaches through immersion, and avoids explicit instruction or translations. The beauty of this title is that the learning is broken down into digestible phrases, and the challenge builds gradually. This is a well-balanced title, both in presentation and approach." "Confused? Actually, confusion tends to be the only real problem with this program. Basically, the package features a mix of individual programs that don't all "fit" with each other, and it lacks a good manual that would help minimize the confusion. Look past this disorganization, however, and you'll find some foreign language learning "gems" tucked away in this package. It is certainly not intuitive to have your young child begin with the seventh CD of a package marked "Pro", but you will appreciate the program if you do."
