Rosetta Stone or Power Glide?

HS Electives

This post contains affiliate links. If you click through and buy I may make a few pennies, but not enough for a latte. Rosetta Stone or Power Glide? I am often asked about which foreign language curriculum to use. There are many to choose from out there! Choosing probably boils down to learning style, and the ways your child learns the best. The three I often recommend are Tell Me More, Power Glide, and Rosetta Stone....

Homeschool Foreign Language And Rosetta Stone

College Admission College Prep Foreign Language

Foreign language requirements vary from college to college. Check with the college website and see what their policy is. Go to a college fair and ask questions of each college, to get their opinion. You'll be surprised at the variety of answers, I'm sure!I have a slightly off-topic question regarding whether Rosetta Stone and/or Power Glide are accepted as Foreign Language high school credits in preparation for most state colleges. Anyone have any information on that?...

We will 'go at it' with more gusto this year, but my question is, this course is supposed to be a 2 year course although it is only Spanish 1. Do you have any knowledge of the credit value?"<<<Angela, I know that a two year course at high school level would be two full high school credits. I also know that...

Some Foreign Language Strategies

Foreign Language

We used Power Glide and loved it. Rosetta Stone is often available through the library system (i.e., free.) Foreign languages are available at co-ops. Some people wait until Running Start or dual enrollment in community college, and take foreign language there. It only takes 2 college quarters or semesters to meet the requirements for foreign language if you do it that way.What are some of your favorite foreign language strategies?
