What is Rosetta Stone?
Rosetta Stone is a comprehensive language learning software that utilizes a unique method to teach foreign languages. The program incorporates images, text, sound, and video to facilitate language acquisition through spaced repetition, without relying on translation.
Highlights
- Dynamic Immersion: The software presents the learner with a text passage, sound, image, or video, and prompts them to match it with one of four potential options. This approach encourages the learner to associate words and concepts directly with the target language, rather than relying on their native language
- Grammar and Pronunciation: The program covers key grammatical concepts, such as tense and mood, and also provides feedback on the learner's pronunciation through the use of a microphone
- Scoring and Feedback: The software immediately indicates whether an answer is correct or incorrect, and awards points based on the number of attempts required. Learners can customize the type of feedback they receive through the Preferences menu
- Business Solutions: Rosetta Stone also offers language training solutions for organizations, aimed at reducing language and cultural barriers to improve business outcomes, such as increased employee retention, reduced compliance risks, and enhanced productivity.
