Very helpful comparison. I definitely like the Rosetta Stone pictures better than the cartoons from Gus. We try to limit screen time for our children, and I really don’t like most cartoons, much preferring realistic pictures. So far for children ages 6-9, we have used an audio-only approach combined with the book/guide for the mother/teacher, it’s the Gouin series method called “Speaking French with Miss Mason and François” now put out by Cherrydale press, originally used 100+ years ago in Charlotte Mason’s classrooms. This has native speaker pronunciation audio in series of sentences that go together. My child and I both have been able to remember so much of it because of the series approach. But I’m always on the lookout it for additional tools, if they’re excellent! The reasoning for audio-only at this 6-9 age range is because my child is learning to read English. Once that is fully mastered, we will add French reading as well. But for now, the spelling rules are wildly different and we need to focus on English phonics!
I appreciate you comparing and contrasting these language learning programs. I like the idea of using Gus on the Go for my kindergarten homeschooled grandson. While I think Memrise would be better suited for older students to further help them develop a lexicon. I also like the idea of using Rosetta Stone for my 8-year-old grandson who is homeschooled. Thanks for doing the research for us.
Great comparison! The thing is with these programs, it's really hard to get kids hooked on these things. It's easier to take something they already love and use that to get them to learn a different language. Most people I know who have fluent English (or particularly good Japanese or Spanish) were almost raised on TV in the relevant language. It only took a little bit of luck - not having Hebrew subtitles available, or having been exposed to TV before you could read (which is very counterintuitive for a parent to allow, and with good reason).
@60minaday, I like very much your suggesting that watching content they like in the target language (and without subtitles in native language) is the most sustainable approach.
I found your video when I Googled best language program for a 9 year old. My grandson wants to learn Spanish and Japanese. I was leaning towards Rosetta Stone and your video solidified my choice. Thanks for an easy to understand video. Also, saying which one you would use for your own child let me know this was a real look at apps.
Wow, this was quite a interesting watch. Kudos to taking on the challenge and effort for this video. Never thought too hard about how different a methodology you would have to use to teach kids a language. Keeping them engaged and entertained, whilst making them think is key.
Great info, thank you. Thinking Rosetta Stone, wish they had a family plan of some sort so my son and I could both do it (without shelling out $400 up front lol). Guess I could get it for him then when it goes on sale again in a month or 2 grab it for myself. We are both learning Spanish.
Great video! I started learning English as a kid using cartoons but would have loved an App such as these back then. I think starting that early (6/7 yo) made it easier to retain and become fluent later on. (We only started English in school at 10 years old back then but the curriculum has changed since) These Apps could be very helpful for young kids.
Eduardo enjoys all of TPI's videos, but this video might be the best. Great info for parents. Without a doubt the best time to learn a new language is as a child. Gus On The Go sounds like an excellent option. Good job TPI.
I wouldn’t recommend Memrise for kids. My child wanted to learn German and one of the first lessons they taught was the word Scheisse…which wasn’t exactly what I was wanting her to learn.
Memrise has changed their curriculum since we published this video and we agree that it's no longer a great fit for kids. Watch our updated video on the best apps for kids here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mr-FkaRY-mI.html
You can also supplement by watching kids TV shows in the target language. Lots of shows for little kids (pre-school to 2nd grade) are built to teach kids basic language skills and even a bit about the culture so they're a great way to expose young kids to the language.
I am absolutely in awe of your extraordinary RU-vid channel! The wealth of knowledge and invaluable guidance you offer through your captivating videos on reviewing Bar Prep Courses is truly remarkable. As I embark on my journey to prepare for the Bar exam in 2024, I have found your videos to be an indispensable resource, providing me with incredibly useful material. I cannot thank you enough for the tremendous value you bring to aspiring lawyers like myself. Moreover, I have a question and a request that I hope you may consider. Could you please create a review video specifically focusing on English language courses for Lawyers from other countries who aspire to practice in the USA? As an international student myself, I believe such a video would be immensely beneficial, serving as a valuable guide before delving into Bar prep courses. Your expertise and insights in this area would undoubtedly be invaluable, helping aspiring lawyers navigate the complexities of language proficiency requirements and providing guidance on the most effective courses to undertake. Thank you in advance for considering my request. Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible content you produce and the immense support you offer to the legal community. Your dedication to excellence shines through in each video, and I am truly grateful for the impact you have had on my journey towards achieving my goals. 🙏🏻🙋♀🫶❤
Thank you very much! Yes - we have actually received requests for that very same video multiple times now. I will add it to our list of videos to make. Thank you!!
This is super helpful, thank you so much! I plan to use Gus on the go for my 4-year- old daughter and Rosetta Stone for my almost 9-year-old and myself! Great explanation and thank you for not making me wade through all of these apps that a lot of them are junkie or not the best quality, especially when you're taking on something as ambitious as learning a language
Great feedback. Been hearing a lot about Rosetta Stone in the homeschool realm. I guess it really is up there and they also offer a lot of languages which makes it awesome.
@@TestPrepInsight One thing I am curious about - Was one of the applications used in the comparison Rocket Spanish? It wasn't listed in the list above.
