Just Plain Ruff Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Hello guys and gals. Heres something new I'm probably moving to phoenix in the next 6-9 months and I need some help. This is for the entire family but more for me. I need to learn spanish. So does the family. I need either a book/dvd system or a computer system. I'm putting a request out there to the group as to what anyone might have heard was a good one. I already have looked at Rosetta stone and I know they say they are the best but I'm not ready to fork out +600 for all three levels. Not saying I won't but I'm not ready to do that quite yet. What are some other systems that others here have used? Thanks
Arctickat Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 hmm, I'm using Rosetta Stone now, and I have it all loaded onto my computer. I could send you my stuff, it's all 5 levels, but I can't guarantee that it would work for you and you definitely can't access the on-line tutor. How about a smart phone translator app? You speak English, it speaks Spanish, they speak Spanish, it speaks English. Not a perfect solution, but it's a start.
Just Plain Ruff Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 I've been told that Berlitz is awesome but others rave about Rosetta. I'm not sure about either one. That's the reason I'm asking for opinions. I know that for my job, I need to really know spanish and english even though computer speak is english but for my family possibly living in phoenix would require them to really become bi-lingual and our homeschooling our son and then our daughter we would need a spanish language program to teach them spanish unless we hired a spanish speaking tutor. The other option would be to hire a landscaping crew and put our two kids outside while they were working and then our kids would have a good grasp of the language before the job was over. (just kidding to my spanish speaking friends)
