Want to Learn to Speak Spanish?
Want to learn to speak Latin American Spanish without tedious translation or memorization? The Library has just the thing for you. An interactive CD-ROM / AUDIO-CD kit called Rosetta Stone Espanol. You start learning on your personal computer, and reinforce your learning on the go with Audio-CDs. From the very first lesson, you'll speak Spanish. Through a method called "dynamic immersion" you'll be surrounded by real-life imagery and the voices of native speakers. As you progess through the program, it provides you with instant feedback and brings back material for review at just the right intervals. And at the end, you get the fun of trying out your Spanish in a real-life simulation.
Sample topics include:
*The basics, such as age and family relations
*Questions, greetings, introductions
*Times of day, calendar terms, the weather
*Directions, locations, telling time
*Present, past and future tense
*Apologies and polite requests
*How to order at a restaurant and give and receive directions
*Emotions, opinions and ideas
*Political, media, business and religious terms
