Rosetta Stone is Heating Up!

The exercises are actually getting better in content here in Unit 3. I just did the "Pronunciation" exercise for the first lesson, and that's totally changed! No longer is it just single words broken into syllables, or short phrases. This is instead sentences. You listen to a short sentence, the repeat it, and the software shows you where you did a good job and bad job. Yes! Much more interesting!

Again, these exercises are focusing on working and eating, particularly when you do these things. Like, I eat breakfast before work Faccio colazione prima di lavorare. They use different constructions for "work" in slightly different phrases. For some reason, they give dopo il lavoro for "after work" while they give prima di lavorare for "before work". Prepositions are hard!
