That's great news about your progress!
I have used Rosetta Stone for homeschool Spanish since I was your son's age. I think it is a good program for that age. What is lacking in Rosetta Stone is probably what makes it a good idea for children. I don't think grammar textbooks would have been the best way for me to learn Spanish at a young age.
Now that I am in high school, I do think that if I wanted to be very proficient in Spanish, I should add something else. But I don't want to get very proficient. I honestly just want to be done with Spanish.
So having used it, I agree with Sanantone's assessment that Rosetta Stone is deficient in some areas, but I still think it is a good start in a language for children.
I hope this helps, and I wish you great success with your future years of homeschooling.
