So I was reading blogs this morning and thinking that I really *should* write something for mine, but wasn't sure what to write. Hmmm.... And funny thing - most of my blog-friends have posted this tremendous contest on their blogs, so my dilemma was solved!!! I have something to post, and I can HOPE that I win this most excellent prize!!!!! The hard part would be if I do win, that I'd have to choose which language... I have a long list that I/we would like to learn. Right now I think I would go with Spanish though. I have mentioned this on a couple of my message boards, but haven't even been on the phone with family this week to tell them (I hope I do that before they happen to read it here...) but Harrison and I are considering going on a missions trip this summer to Honduras. So a little knowledge of the Spanish language would certainly be helpful!! Anyway... on to my requirements for entering the contest:
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!
