Week Nine Reflections

[Becky Walker]

Reintroducing the Rosetta Stone was a good decision. At the beginning, using the Rosetta Stone was not entirely too helpful, for without knowing any of the words, I would rely on using the pictures to remember them, as opposed to taking the words to memory. Fortunately, I am much more familiar with the words used in the first lessons of the Rosetta Stone, and this helped me to practice my aural skills. Though next week I am planning on focusing more on culture--knowing what gestures I can use to accompany the phases I am learning--I will continue to use the Rosetta Stone and other aural programs to practice my skills.
