Rosetta Stone Continuation 2019
For the next year, I will not be continuing with my Rosetta Stone course. The reason for my resignation of this program is because of multiple factors.
The main factor is that I find the Rosetta Stone program incompetent and not tailored to my learning needs. In particular, the program lacks in-depth assistance on how to learn; there are many features that could have been added with ease to the program that could have only benefitted them. My major concerns are how they do not teach you the grammar of sentences, when to use punctuation properly and what the definitions of words mean. This predicament manifests particularly when you are asked to name the names of certain objects/locations. I find myself having to Google the definition of words because many Mandarin words have more than 10 definitions.
The secondary factor is that the Rosetta Stone microphone does not work with anything other than a USB headset, which is uncomfortable and not of high quality. I would be more motivated to complete work if I didn't have to dodge every single microphone task due to this problem. My laptop and standalone microphone don't work on Rosetta Stone but work on every other software.
I have learnt quite a lot from this Rosetta Stone course but unfortunately, its time will end next year.
