Since I never ever win anything I figured I had to write about this. While I was at the Embassy open house shindig they had a drawing for a year membership to the Rosetta Stone online package (usually$1,200) and I actually won! So now I’m going to learn French. It seemed like a good idea because I felt like a total idiot when I could only communicate by pointing to things while in Paris.
So basically I’m excited. I’ve done some of the Spanish Rosetta Stone (got it for a great price on craigslist last summer) and it’s thoroughly addicting.
Here’s a picture of me with the actual Rosetta Stone:
(It’s bizarre that will have been two years ago this fall…)
I want to learn French too!
ReplyDeleteAh! That's awesome! In the words of James Dashner (he's an author), that is "terrificaliwondershonks!"
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, two years ago...can you believe it? I feel like it's kind of killing me slowly.
Good 4 U! Rosetta Stone is awesome! It is the one method of language learning that I can actually say I enjoy. I like the way it handles French and lets me practice pronunciation through the microphone. I have been using it at home and on breaks at work (I got it through http://www.cbcwebcollege so I can access it anywhere on the web. Not a bad deal for $48). French is one of the languages where they have up to 5 levels. I'm hoping to be at level 4 by June.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your good luck. Maybe you should get some lottery tickets while your luck is running! ;-)
You're my favorite. The End.
