There is "personal" and "homeschool." They are the same program, same lessons, same opportunities to customize how you want to learn the language. There is not an "adult" version versus another version. Each student's path is customizable within the same program.Įdit: I'm not sure I was specific enough. I study listening, speaking, reading and writing, while my 6 year old only does listening, speaking and reading. ) I can log in and look at all of their progress and "grades."įor each user, in either edition, you can choose how they study the language. My other two students don't progress as quickly, but it is not the fault of the program. With the homeschool edition, you can log in as yourself and view a report of all the students using the course. If you got the regular edition, you would have to log in to your son's user to see his progress. The homeschool edition allows you to "enroll" 10 students instead of just 5 and track their progress as a teacher with reports, instead of self-tracking progress per user. They are the exact same program and is practical from age 5 to adults. The ONLY difference in the two is how you set it up. And I cannot see a good sample of the child/homeschool version. What is different between the adult and homeschool versions of Rosetta Stone? Would it be better to get the adult version for myself and let him use it someday if he wants? Or would the homeschool version work for an adult to learn well and be more appropriate if a child (he's 11) decided to try it too? The website has something about the adult version not being for people under the age of 13, but does not say why not.
But right now he does not seem to want to. I would like my son to be able to use the same program if he wants to. I tried online samples of a few different things, could not really be sure, but decided that maybe I was having best retention from Rosetta Stone. I thought of something that would be exotic for me, maybe with a different alphabet, but have now decided I would like to try Latin American Spanish, since I know a bit already and it would be helpful I think. I myself am interested in learning language.
