    I tried Rosetta Stone and didn't care for it. I then selected Flunenz and have found it much better for me. It was designed specifically for English speakers. Language in general is not my thing but I have enjoyed this course even at my slow pace; and feel more confident with what I have...

As they say you can skip...

    So speaking of getting credentials stamped... Gunner W. the creator of the Radio Buen Camino series indicated that he became a "sello junky" and collected something like 300+/- sellos.
