Contest - win a FREE Rosetta Stone Program

This is major, folks - one of the best rated language programs ever. I'm hoping to purchase the Spanish version at the CHAP convention in May. Here's a chance for you to WIN a program, worth over $200, in your choice of many languages.

Check it out:

Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! 

This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian.

This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program.  Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking.  Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included!  For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports. 

 

To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/  and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it.  And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it.  And good luck!  The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg.   And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win.   Yay for free stuff!

Wanna win a free book...or a bed and breakfast getaway?

Our life recently has been material for a Nationwide commercial.:"Life comes at you fast". But God is good.

Something needs to be done about this avatar photo. I don't look anything like this anymore - having decided I was ready to grow old gracefully.  The growing old part is moving along well, the gracefully part...not so much!  What I'm trying to say is that my hair is gray, but my new glasses are a lot groovier. Hehe. Well, I'll get a new photo up soon.

I'll be trying to blog a bit more frequently here. I do a marginally better job of staying current at my homepage, www.EleanorJoyce.com.

Oh, but yes..if you're still with me...about the free book and Bed and Breakfast getaway...Check it out HERE

C.S. Lewis

I never get tired of his wisdom! My computer wallpaper this month says "Forgiveness" in large letters, and then this quote from C.S. Lewis;

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." 

Very powerful words, and very convicting. I like that I am reminded of this every time I go to my computer. It's timely and it's true.

Crosscards features a great selection of FREE computer wallpaper each month, as well as free e-cards for all occasions. I use their site - a lot!
