Bonjour! Je m'appelle HeadOverHeelsForHorses!
That means hello, I call myself HeadOverHeelsForHorses in French. I learned this, along with quite a few basics of the French language, in 2 days. How did I do it so quickly? In case you haven't figured it out by the title, I used Rosetta Stone! Rosetta Stone is a language-learning computer software device (wow, that sounded smart:) that claims to be able to teach you almost any language fairly quickly. Well, as you might have read in one of my earlier post's, I like to travel. Unfortunately, I can only speak English and Spanish. So, I decided to tackle French. I bought Rosetta Stone level one for French, and began. I was skeptical at first, both of the program's ability to teach me the language, and of my own to learn it. After all, I've been enrolled in a Spanish class for two years and can barely say hello, I come from America. Anyways, I was sitting at the computer, and began to learn French. I was extremely surprised when I looked up at the clock and saw that an hour had gone by since I had begun. I was even more surprised when I discovered that I could remember what I had learned. Now, I'm hooked on it! It's a really satisfying feeling to be able to accomplish goals that you've been wanting to do for a long time. Here's why Rosetta Stone works- it makes learning a language like playing a game (it kind of tricks you into learning-lol), and because it's fun, you keep going on it. Rosetta Stone is an expensive program though, so choose you're language carefully. I can guarantee you'll love the program.
Who knows? Maybe after I'm done with French, I'll try Japanese:)
au revoir
