student through one Level of a language in a scholastic year. The Full Year Lesson

16 Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3

Audio Companion

The Audio Companion gives the student the flexibility to practice speaking and
listening comprehension skills while away from the computer. When students cant
continue their studies at the computer (while traveling, for example), they can still
practice by doing the Audio Companion activities that correspond to their most recently
completed Core Lessons. Students can listen to these activities on a CD player, or they
can download and play them on an MP3 player.

The Audio Companion provides five types of activities:

Pronunciation. In this activity, words and phrases are broken down for the
students to concentrate on the pronunciation of individual syllables.
Vocabulary. In the vocabulary activity, students practice individual words to help
build a foundation for later, more complex activities.
Phrases. This section builds upon the previous activities to get the students
comfortable producing phrases from the Lesson.
Speaking. Students engage in conversational language, often in question and
answer form, engaging in interactive language that can be put to use in the
following conversation activity.
Conversation. The conversation activity practices short conversations. Students
listen to each conversation twice and then are prompted to repeat each phrase
individually.

Recommendations for getting the most out of the Audio Companion:

Picture. As students listen to the audio, they should picture what is being heard.
This continues to reinforce their association of the spoken language with its
meaning.
Listen. Students should pay close attention to the native speakers pronunciation
and inflection to guide them when they speak. This will gradually refine their
pronunciation and accent in their new language.
Repeat out loud. The more the students speak out loud, the more at ease theyll
become with speaking the language.
