Unit 2 is "Greetings and Introductions" at least in theory. I just started the first lesson within the unit, and so far it seems to be about possessive pronouns and the informal second person. Starting to catch up to Pimsleur in the numbers, up to 12 here, diciannove in Pimsleur.
I'm liking getting into the informal second person, and I am also liking getting to hear words read aloud clearly and slowly. Something that I didn't pick up in Pimsleur is that double consonants are given more emphasis in pronunciation. Basically, you include the consonant in both the preceding and following syllables. For example, sette is pronounced "seht-teh", not "seh-teh". It seems like if it's a single consonant, it will be pronounced as leading the second syllable. So I'd give that as a point in Rosetta Stone's favor.
