[nabs-l] Rosetta Stone: Does it Work Jaws-wise?

[Heather Field]

Hello,
Rosetta Stone is not a good choice for blind people; far too graphics-based.

There is an extremely usable program called Pimsleur, named after the man 
who spent his life researching and implementing the best way to teach 
foreign languages. Not only is it accessible to the blind, it is also a far 
superior language learning approach. It is based on the premise that 
learning a language is primarily oral and auditory and is based on that 
approach.

It is also much less expensive than Rosetta Stone as it's available in 
modules. It's also available in various packages, depending on your purpose 
for learning a language. E.g. if someone wants a short course to prepare for 
a vacation in another country, that is available. Or, if they want a 
complete, multi-year, complete mastery course, including reading and 
writing, that is also available.

Pimsleur is produced and distributed by Simon And Schuster and can be found 
via their website. I would encourage you to

Warmest regards,
Heather Field

Hello NABS group,

This is Trevor Attenberg. I would like to know if you would share any
knowledge you have on the utility of Rosetta Stone (the quite popular, but
expensive language learning software) for users of Jaws. Keep in mind we're
not talking about looking at the screen or making use of another adaptive
tool. This is something I am investigating; though it is way too expensive
to purchase without certainty it will be accessible.

Thank you for your time.

Rock away,

Trevor A
