UPDATE on Rosetta Stone @ the ABQ Library

Hello all....here is a follow-up email I received from a fellow homeschool mom... here is the original link and info http://nmhomeschoolcommunity.blogspot.com/2008/06/alert-use-rosetta-stone-via-library-for.html



Good morning. Julia Clarke has asked me to respond to your email. Rosetta Stone will be discontiuned on July 31, 2008. They will no longer provide their language database to libraries. We will be replacing it with Auaralog which currently covers English (ESL), Spanish, French, German, Italian and Dutch. They will be adding Chinese, Japanese and Arabic next year.

I have spoken to a number of libraries that have this product and they love it. This product covers different learning styles, speaking, listening, comprehension, reading and writing. I think that you will be pleased with it. We tested it and found that it is more comprehensive than Rosetta Stone. We hope that it will be up and running by the middle of July.

Please feel free to email or phone me with any concerns or comments.
