It is even better because there are usually several options to choose from

So far, we haven't successfully used those . I looked through the spanish but it doesn't seem to have "voice" at all just written/reading. AM I missing something?? I'd love info if you have tried that I am considering Rosetta Stone Spanish for next year but just can't decide

So far, DD1 is doing EVERYTHING on easy peasy (math = khan option) plus
*computer science (Khan high school level)
*typing
*family devotions/read alouds (living history/science)
*extra curriculars

I think we will be sticking with this for next year. Dh and I just looked at some of our free options and this seems the easiest to use and well planned.

I got an email today that Rosetta Stone and LiveMocha are merging. Might be interesting to see what happens there.

We just discovered it and love all the fun song links. What an amazing amount of organization! We will def. be using this as a part of our K year next fall, but right now we are just casually doing the getting ready stuff. Even my DS (2) has been singing the A song. So cute-and EASY for me!!

We are enjoying the site. Great option for when the twins come. Sooo easy for the kids to do without me.

So we're really getting into a good groove w/ this.... I do "getting started 1" w/ everyone (but it's mostly for DD), they all get to practice writing the letter for that week on our Paint program on the computer, then we do our 5 in a Row for that day.

I had been using Easy Peasy to help save #4 with learning to read. He loved it at first but after a month said he hated it and asked to go back to w h at we had been doing. (Which was taking words from books he wanted to read and learning them through games which I made up. It's more work for me but works the best for ds.)
