Rosetta Stone Writing Activity
The "Writing" activity is on the whole pretty good. It has one of the same slide types as the "Reading" activity, where you hear syllables read out loud, and then match them up to the written syllable. (By the way, I hate hate that they move the options around between choices on the slides. Like, if a slide has four syllables arranged as cards in a square, after you match the first one to the spoken part, all the choices switch around in that square before you get to match up the second. I've clicked on the wrong one several times because they've moved...) The rest of the slides are either build up to the writing, or slides where you actually type the words and phrases you hear. I guess for me the more accurate title of this segment would be "Spelling", since there are lots of words I understand and can pronounce that are hard to spell. Like poliziotto "police officer". I find this exercise pretty helpful on the whole.
