Drum roll please………………….It’s contest time!!!! Hurray! Has the suspense been killing you? LOL!  This is a great one too. Rosetta Stone has contacted me about giving away one of their language programs to celebrate the launch of their new Version 3 programs in the UK! (My sincere apologies to all my readers from the states and the rest of the world,  this one is for my European readers only!)

So, the question is…….is there anyone out there who’d be interested in winning a one year, level one language course in one of 14 languages??? (They actually do programs in 31 languages, but only 14 are available yet in version 3) 

Here is a bit more about the program in case you aren’t familiar with it.

‘In case you've not heard, Rosetta Stone has just launched the first 14 languages of its new Homeschool foreign language curriculum in the UK.  The new curriculum is available in three levels for each of the 14 languages released.  This is not just the same Rosetta Stone program redone, it's an all new curriculum.  Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3 includes a headset with microphone, and students must participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program.  Of course Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well in addition to speaking.  Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included!  For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.  Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers, and it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon.’ 

You can also check out the Rosetta Stone website at http://www.rosettastone.co.uk/home_education/ to read all about the program and to see the full list of languages available. To mention a few though, you can get a course in Irish, or if you are interested in a course in English you can choose if you want ‘American’ or ‘British’ English! LOL!  Maybe I should get the course in British English!  Also the traditional languages studied in schools like French, German and Spanish.

This course usually costs £145, but to the winner of my contest a level one course in the language of their choice will be absolutely *FREE*! (And you all know how much I love that word!)

So, what do you have to do to have a chance of winning the fabulously amazing prize? First of all you have to leave me a comment on this post(www.homeschoolblogger.com/deedeeuk/549007/), and just to make it more fun tell me what languages you have studied or can speak (or not as the case may be!) Be sure to include your blog address where you can be reached or if you don’t have a blog, an email address so I can notify you if you are the winner! AND if you enter and leave an email address and you don’t win you will receive a special offer from Rosetta Stone! How cool is that?  So everyone who enters and leaves an email addy wins!! Whoo Hoo!!

You can double your chances of winning the full program and get two entries to the contest if you leave me a comment AND copy all of the highlighted (green) information and post it to your own blog, then post a link back to my blog at (www.homeschoolblogger.com/deedeeuk/549007/) to show where you blogged about it and to complete your entry.The contest will close at midnight on the 28th of June. The winner will be chosen at random (out of a hat!) on Sunday the 29th. Hurry up and enter everyone and be sure to spread the word!

I'm just editing this post to explain a little better as there has been a little confusion. First of all I'm sorry for the misspelled web address which is now fixed!  Secondly, you don't have to click on that link to my blog to enter the contest if you are reading this on my blog - you are already there! Just leave a comment here on this post. The links are written out for the people who copy my blog post over to their blogs and get a second entry. For those people they need to include my blog address so people can come over and find it.

   Also can I just remind people that they need to leave me an email address (if you don't have a blog) so that we have a way of contacting you if you are the winner and so that you can receive your 'special offer' from Rosetta Stone if you don't win. If you really don't want your address posted in your comment you can leave a comment, then copy that same comment into an email to me so that I know which emails go with which comments. You can find my email address through the 'email me' link in the righthand sidebar. Thanks everyone!
