It's built around our award-winning Rosetta Stone curriculum, which has been adopted by organizations around the world including the U.S. Army, NASA, major corporations such as Deutsche Telecom, IKEA, Royal Dutch Shell, and over 10,000 schools worldwide--and is available in 31 languages spoken by over 90% of the world's population.

The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn a New Language



Proceed at Your Own Pace
Rosetta Stone is considerate of your time. Anytime, anywhere, you can learn a new language with Rosetta Stone. You learn comfortably without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. Rosetta Stone provides guidance to make your language learning effective, fast, and enjoyable with a process that is intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging. At the end of each lesson, you are given the opportunity to test your new skills. And, since Rosetta Stone automatically records your progress, you can easily pick up where you left off, when other priorities arise.

Make Language Learning Intuitive with Dynamic Immersion
Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help you learn. You will be presented with sets of images to match correctly with a spoken or written phrase in the new language. You will advance to the next set of prompts once you've successfully matched words and images and pronounced the words correctly. With Dynamic Immersion, you learn by directly associating your new language with images--nothing is lost in translation.
The comprehensive language-learning solution that fits your life.



Learn Naturally
Learn your next language the same way you learned your first language. Dynamic Immersion empowers you to see, hear and comprehend without translating or memorizing. You already have this ability, Rosetta Stone simply unlocks it.

Engage Interactively
Get feedback to move forward. You learn best by doing, and you'll apply what you've learned to get to the next step. Rosetta Stone adapts to your individual needs and skills, because you drive the program with your progress.

Speak Confidently
Start speaking immediately. From the very first lesson, you'll speak. You'll begin with essential basics, which form the building blocks of the language. Soon you'll create new sentences on your own using words you've learned.

Have Fun

Fun, Easy, and Immediate Reinforcement
Interactive exercises create a learning environment that is engaging and game-like--it's fun!

How It Works

As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity.

Rosetta Stone recreated this natural way of learning by developing a method that uses a computer to mimic the environment in which we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion. A simple, intuitive interface and advanced technology confirms learning at every step of the process by prompting you to make connections between images you already understand and the new language. You receive immediate feedback, which helps you to reinforce learning. This systematic structure builds from simple nouns and verbs to more complex concepts and phrases very quickly, helping you achieve your language-learning goals faster than you ever thought possible.

Level 1, 2 & 3--Connect With the World

Connect with the world around you. Build a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structure. Quickly gain the confidence to enjoy social interactions such as greetings and introductions, travel, dining out, giving and getting directions, shopping and other recreational activities. Learn to share your ideas and opinions, express your feelings and talk about everyday life, your work, your interests, current events, and much more.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply the best...
This is by far the best self-guided foreign language product on the market that I have used. I highly recommend it, it makes learning a foreign language much easier, and it is very intuitive to use.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of the best ways to learn a language.
Everyone has seen the television commercials, the print adverts, and the magazine inserts...Rosetta stone is touted as the best way to learn a language. And you know what? Its true.
Popping in the software and navigating its menus, lessons, and audio files, I was greatly impressed with the sheer volume of material. I took french quite a few years ago as a younger kid, and was amazed at how easy it was to pick it back up again. While I am nowhere near to speaking full conversational french, I feel that my language skills are improving the more and more that my wife and I use this product.
The only way to really get real world experience with another language is to speak it all the time, everytime with a native speaker to help you with your conversation- but barring the possibility of that, this software is an amazing tool. I would happily pay the full price on this program, and am looking in to having my hospital get on board as a corporate partner so that we can begin learning spanish...many of our patients arent fluent in English.
The only dissapointing thing about this progam is that it can only be installed on one computer. I find that to detract from the overall impression, hence- the 4 star review. After payiing upwards of 400$ for a program, I should be able to use it on as many devices (or within a set limit) that I want to. Limiting it to only one PC or notebook seems to be overly restrictive.
The mp3 audio files are good for one the go, and I use them more frequently that I originally thought I would. One of the other cool things to do? Get a movie that you havent seen before, turn it to the language dubbed version and see of you can follow along. Just another step in the immersion process.
Overall an amazing product, and only marred by the extreme restrictive installation permission. Other than that...I suggest you pick up a package in whatever language you wish to learn!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - learing French
I have been trying to learn French for the past couple of years without much luck. I found using a book boring and difficult to teach myself with. After the book I tried learning through a teacher, but that was time consuming and expensive. Since I have been using the Roestta Stone I am amazed at how fast and easy it is to learn the language. The way they structure the learning through photographs so you are not translating word for word is amazing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - French Made Fun
Rosetta Stone's language software is fantastic. Their total immersion approach makes it feel like a play along game instead of learning a language. I had a bit of French in college, but despite the fact that it was a beginning class, students were already expected to know some French. The software outclasses the traditional class. Setup is easy and you can select the options for your level to go at your own pace. Seeing the images with text and hearing the native speaker really does allow for faster learning and you do use your own native ability to learn to better effect. The new Audio Companion CDs are an excellent reinforcement. They make it so easy to load them into a CD player or an iPod. You never feel as pressured to learn the language. I have always wanted to learn French and am loving doing so. The software is nicely packaged with a Quick Start guide, User's Guide, application software and three levels of language for beginning, intermediate and advanced. There are also four CDs for each level for the Audio Companion and an included headset with microphone. It is pricey, but worth it. With regular practice you will become proficient and the software interface is very user friendly. I highly recommend Rosetta Stone and will stick with them for my language learning needs.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome Product...Get the Homeschool Ed.
I'll try to keep this very short and sweet. RSF (rosetta stone french) is an extremely effective product. It's immersion techniques simply plays off the way that we've always learned in life, picture association. The lessons are pretty lengthy and thorough. I highly recommend that you buy this product. Before you actually consider buying though I strongly recommend that you buy the HS edition. Why? (1). It's $50 cheaper. (2). Not only does this product contain the same features as the PE but it contains excellent lesson guides to help you along in your studies. (3). You must buy a French-English (vice versa) dictionary. The pictures aren't quite obvious so you'll need a dictionary. Hope you guys enjoy!

Speaking of Mini DisplayPort, here's another entry from Apple in the shipping hall of shame. They're shipping the five-inch Mini-DiplayPort-to-DVI adapter in a box that's bigger than the MacBook's. Check out the waste.

As Kevin notes, it might seem nitpicky, but when you compare this to how much Apple boasts on the MacBook's green packaging, it is kind of jarring:

"The new MacBook packaging is up to 41 percent smaller than the previous generation. And smaller boxes are much better for the planet. Because smaller boxes mean we can fit more boxes on each shipping pallet — up to 25 percent more. Which means more products will fit on each boat and plane. Which means fewer boats and planes are used, resulting in fewer CO2 emissions. It’s just one seemingly minor change. But it has a major positive impact on our environment."

Surely they've got a smaller box lying around somewhere. If not, we hope they transition all of their shipping boxes to a greener variation—not just to align them with Apple's own standards and goals, but to set an example for the rest of the industry. [jkOnTheRun]
