Rosetta Stone Speaking Activity

This is probably my favorite activity in Rosetta Stone. There are a few slide variations, but in all of them, you are asked to speak. Some slides show you several squares of dialog, and each one is read to you, and you read it back. In some cases, they show you the written words as well as have you listen, in some cases you just hear it read. There are also slides with, say, four lines of dialog, where most will be read to you, but you will have to fill in one from scratch, based on the other squares. You do not use the mouse at all in this activity, just speak to the screen. Overall, I find this activity very useful. Actually saying the words out loud really cements the pronunciation and the construction of the sentence. The parts where you have to come up with what to say are very useful, and as close to a real conversation as Rosetta Stone gets. Yes, you have seen these slides before in other activities by the time Speaking comes around, but you get put on the spot to know stuff during the activity. I would actually like "Speaking" to come earlier in the sequence, perhaps have it come around twice. Maybe even replace the "Pronunciation" activity...
