A Rosetta Stone "Gotchya"

This is something that had been bugging me in Rosetta Stone that I hadn't figured out until today.

After you complete all the parts of a lesson but before you move on to another unit you will, at some point, be prompted to take a review for that lesson. I find it is usually after I finish the next lesson's vocabulary. After you have completed the review it will tell you that you will be prompted to repeat the review in a few days.

I thought this would be automatic, but it is not. I have been trucking along doing a lesson a day including all of the lesson activities it prompts me to do until it prompts me to do the next core lesson. Some of these activities include activities from previous lessons. But I had not been prompted to review the much older lessons from other units I had already completed.

The unit 1 lesson 1 review was supposed to prompt me to re-take after the 18th. It is now the 23rd. I was starting to get worried because it had already passed time for the lesson 2 and less 3 reviews to prompt as well. I could not find anything in the settings to make those prompt.

What you have to do is from the home screen, navigate back to all the units you have already completed and THEN it will prompt you for the reviews due in that unit. Silly me.

So, before you start a core lesson, navigate back to the previous units and complete whatever review work you are supposed to do. This will keep the older content fresh in your head. Even though Rosetta Stone works heavily by reincorporating what you have already learned into the new knowledge, these reviews contain the core knowledge that is important to take away from that lesson. If you mess up you should go back and study that lesson again.
