A while ago, I purchased a product from Transparent Language and I have to say that it could work for someone who can learn in a very abstract way. I thought that was me, but I guess I was wrong. I guess I can't say it was wasted money exactly, because I learned something about the way my brain works.

I've been checking out a company called Rosetta Stone for the last week or so to see if their software is a good fit for me and I'm starting to think it is. It's not cheap though. As of this date, the price for German: Level 1 is $195 as compared to Transparent's $39.95 for German Now! which is what I got. Looking at the Transparent Language website, I may have just gotten the product that doesn't work for me, but Rosetta Stone has been doing nicely with their pictures-and-words approach. Rosetta Stone also has an online version that is a little bit cheaper if you learn quickly and, since I have already taken German 1, 2 and 3 in High School hmphm years ago, I may do just that.

We just got out of the hot tub a little bit ago and saw 8 deer heading out across the lake and away from the pile-o-corn. It looked like a buck and a doe and 6 fawns keeping together to make it through winter. It makes me wish I'd gotten a deer this fall so that not so many of them would have to tough it out through the cold Minnesota winter.

Peace Out
