Rosetta Stone

I own a foreign language school. We focus on ages 2-12 but occasionally work with other ages. From my experience, I think your best bet is a private tutor. Most of the programs and even classes will be pretty basic. Even the higher level classes will not be focusing in on the vocabulary you need. My suggestion would be to hook up with a tutor and do conversational tutoring so you can focus on the language you will need for your job. It will most likely end up being the quickest and most cost effective. Good Luck. P.

I was also fairly proficient in Spanish and bought the Rosetta Stone software to brush up on my skills. I found the program to be really good for people who don't know Spanish at all, but I don't feel like I learned anything new. If I had to do it again, I would not spend the money on the program, but I would enroll in conversational Spanish classes through my local community college instead. I know Waubonsie Community College has such classes, I don't know if you are in district for them or not. Good luck!

This program can work. But since you do know Spanish, you might be better to speak to people and have them correct you. A friend took a class with the company a long time ago and it was great to get her started. This was before they had the CDs and such. Once she learned the basics, she improved by actually speaking to people.
Of course, you have to let them know you want them to correct you. I have found they are too polite to say anything and since they understand what you are talking about, they let it go.

Many libraries carry Rosetta Stone for check out. You may want to give it a trial run this way to see if it is worth your while.
