Well, today I am off for California, for my cousin's wedding in Napa. I won't have a lot of internet access while I am there. I will set up a few posts to publish this week but they will be just random Italy stuff...
I got an old microphone from Ross's parents that I am using for Rosetta Stone. While the speaking component isn't as exciting as I hoped it would be, it's definitely an improvement for a few segments. I realized that part of the reason the Rosetta Stone lessons feel long is that they are really long! I was looking at the times quoted at the start of each unit, 30 minutes, which is actually the time for the first core activity. That core activity is followed by eight or ten shorter activities, which are quoted at 5 or usually 10 minutes each. So adding this up, each lesson is supposed to be around two hours long. No wonder they feel long! I got the impression that I was supposed to be doing a lesson at a go, but now I don't feel bad breaking it down into smaller sittings!
