We had some AWESOME (!!!) unit 1 &amp; unit 2 studio sessions (level 1). Such fun! Each teacher is a little different. They emphasize different things &#8212; and they all have different accents! And little games here &amp; there in class. Totally loving it!<\/p>\n<p>I made us stop taking unit 1 classes &#8212; I think we were intimidating others, heh. It\u2019s hard to be supportive of beginners when you want to BE FLUENT!!!<\/p>\n<p>So on to level 2! We were still mostly too advanced, but there were a couple of new concepts &amp; words. At least we had to stop &amp; think a little! We took 2-3 classes while we finished unit 3.<\/p>\n<p>Then we took a unit 3 Studio. It wasn\u2019t as fun. I think it might be because they all spend so much time on 1 &amp; 2 that unit 3 doesn&#8217;t get practiced or planned for by the teachers. Or maybe it was just our teacher. Or maybe just a bad night for all of us. Not really sure. But I got a bit discouraged&#8230; I didn&#8217;t want to take 3 again, but 4 seemed so far away!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re buying a house &amp; the holidays were upon us, so we took a break. A long one&#8230;. We just picked it up again this week. I\u2019ve already forgotten things! I feel so rusty!!! Daily practice really is important!<\/p>\n<p>We finished off unit 4&#8230; now we\u2019re ready for the next Studio! Yay!! I want to take at least 1 more class of unit 3 as well &#8212; I really need to brush up on it. There\u2019s a lot of new stuff there, and 4 has even more.<\/p>\n<p>But the big thing to note is: <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We dinged!!!!<\/span><\/strong> We&#8217;re now in Rosetta Stone Spanish 2!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ll try to catch you up&#8230; wish I had written things as they\u2019d happened.
