I don’t think I’ve ever seen a complete set of Rosetta Stone software for such a low price!

We’ve used Rosetta Stone with our boys (starting at 6th or 7th grade) to teach them Spanish. Asa, our oldest, used it through his senior year of college for his high school foreign language credit. Best of all though is how he used it when he went to Ecuador for a mission trip. One of the first things he told us about his trip was, “By the way, Rosetta Stone? Best thing ever!” It helped him communicate with the children in the villages they visited. He loved it! (Justus, our 15 year old, gets to go to Ecuador and use his Spanish skills this summer. So exciting!)

While finishing some Christmas shopping this morning, I saw that all the Rosetta Stone packages are only $198 today. That’s a huge discount and makes me tempted to buy another language for our boys’ schooling! Our family highly recommends this software, so I wanted to be sure you knew about the discount.

What tempts me even more is that you get a free Kindle Fire HD 6 with your Rosetta Stone purchase today. Really???? That makes this even more amazing!

Go check out this Rosetta Stone software if this is something your family would use!

Looks like the Kindle comes automatically with your purchase so you don’t have to add that to your cart separately. This is amazing! The deal is good for December 14 only.

Our older boys have been learning Spanish with Rosetta Stone software for three, going on four years. It has been fantastic! Asa was really able to use what he’s learning when he went to Ecuador this summer. We love it when these great skills can be applied to real life.

Last week, Matt took advantage of a perfect teachable moment. We received a letter from Gladis, the little girl we sponsor from Honduras through One Child Matters. It is written first in Spanish with help from Gladis’ teacher. Then it is translated to English for us to enjoy.

I typically pull out the letter and start reading it to my family (in English, obviously). But Matt started reading it, one sentence at a time, in Spanish. The boys then got to have fun working together to translate it as he read. They did really well! It was a fun activity with our lunch, and hearing the phrases in Spanish made it seem as though we were getting to know Gladis more fully.

“The girl Gladis is very happy for your present, and is very happy for your prayers.”

I find it amazing that I can feel so connected and love someone so dearly even though we’ve never met face to face. Praying for someone will certainly do that for you!

I’m very thankful for One Child Matters. Because of them, children’s needs are being met. Most importantly, these children are learning about Jesus and finding hope. While our family has the opportunity to bless this little girl, we are finding more and more that she is the one blessing us. I love how God works!
