Rosetta Stone - Spanish - Anyone have a copy for sale?

[cruiseroutfit]

Looking to step up my Spanish speaking game and I'm hearing good things about Rosetta Stone. Anyone have a copy (older is fine) for sale?

Any other opinions for learning Spanish on an abbreviated schedule... a couple of months or less? I don't need to be 100% fluent, just travelers Spanish.

Duolingo. It's free, I've been doing it for a few weeks.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Cool, checking that out now!

Second on the Duolingo, liked it MUCH better than RS, and again, it's free.

I used Duolingo before our Baja trip and it helped... but you get out of it what you put into it.

I'll make you a deal. Pack me in your suitcase and I'll be your personal translator and squire. I mostly speak religious Spanish but driving a cruiser you preach all day anyway. Right?

Wish I had a reason to dust off the cobwebs in that part of my brain.

What I've done in the past is translate certain statements/questions for friends so they have them in their back pocket. Then, if they get in a real bind, they'll text or email me what they need communicated, and I'll reply back as quickly as possible. I'm very fortunate to have learned Spanish - it's been very useful these past 15 years...

Ha, well played. We don't preach, we pat backs.

Not a bad idea. I've got phone and a pocket dictionary that supplement my current range, just looking for more. We've generally had a fluent speaker on all our foreign trips (excpet Australia) but I'd like to increase my usefulness too

Digging duolingo thus far (140XP). If I were to do this for the next few months I think I'd be right where I want/need.

Anyone have a suggestion for a passive spanish learning aide? I.e. something I can listen to at night in bed or in the car?

He already has one women he has to listen to weather he wants to or not! Why on earth would he double that!

Don't know what a good price is, so don't know if this is even worth mentioning, but I got an email that you can get RS for $99 with a groupon.

No idea if that's good, bad, or indifferent. <shrug>

I'd like to learn Mexican too though.

If you didn't go there, I was going to!


Kurt, do you have any friends that speak Spanish? The best help is talking to someone that knows the language and is willing to coach you at your pace. When I worked in SoCal, I was picking up Spanish pretty quick!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Yup, lot's of friend's and family that are fluent... I need to spend more time chatting with them!

Cool, thanks Dave. I'm giving Duolingo a run but might try RS.

Working my way through DuoLingo, been studying for ~10 days now and feeling much better at common stuff and starting to grasp the gender of words. 4 more weeks to be fluent
