learning spanish? rosetta stone?

[exlude]

From what I've read, RS is great for vocabulary...but don't expect to learn how to actually speak the language.

Gotcha. I did some more reading and basically found that they're teaching whatever dialect they prefer. I must have gotten the tex mex teacher, because she taught only uds and told us vos was useless except in Spain and extremely formal. We did however learn nouns that appear not to be Castilian, but that was a long time ago


I retract my statement abt u being wrong

No biggie-just speaking from my experience, too.

I taught Spanish in Keller and was an inclusion teacher in HEB. While vosotros is indeed part of Castillian, we were given the option to not teach that form. They use Uds. as well. It's 'proper' Spanish-that's what they teach. The difference between Castillian and Spanglish is often compared to the difference between 'Shakespearean' language and 'slang'.

I'm not 'wrong' what I learned in Troy, mi was way diff from what I learned in Richardson, tx. It was just slang down here. I went from national merit status to a d student when I moved in my senior year.

Either way I need to learn how to speak Spanish. If RS is not the best program what is?

Finding someone that will only speak Spanish to you unless it's to correct you on something. Or let a day laborer move in.

In any Spanish class, you will only learn Castilian Spanish. He'll learn Mexican/Spanglish outside the classroom.

The consistent lowest grades in both years of Spanish were fluent in Mexican.

I'm Mexican and in high school i had to drop Spanish class cause i was failing so bad.
