We Preserve More Than Words

Pass on a Living Language to Future Generations

Across the UK and around the world, non-native speaking and indigenous communities are working to preserve and revitalise their languages. Rosetta Stone is a valuable resource for these efforts. We can help communities develop editions in their language for their exclusive use.

Previous success stories include the Mohawk community of Kahnawake in Quebec, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and NANA Corporation’s Inupiat shareholders in the Arctic. Rosetta Stone has been selected by these communities as the technology of choice for language revitalisation.

How can Rosetta Stone help your community?

Community-Owned

You own the final product, so you can distribute it however you see fit; whether in schools, homes or online, you are creating a permanent and valuable asset for your community.

Culturally Relevant

Rosetta Stone software is customisable and can include images that reflect your community. For example, photos can come from private archives, the local paper, from a photographer or any other appropriate source.

Retains Language Integrity

Unlike other language learning companies, Rosetta Stone teaches entirely by immersion rather than translation. This ensures that core language meaning is retained, since indigenous words are never equated with English words.

Supports Existing Efforts

Rosetta Stone reinforces the efforts of language teachers. Learners progress at their own pace through material, saving valuable face-to-face time for conversational practice and questions.

Offers Real Interactivity

Rosetta Stone is completely interactive, not simply a computerised dictionary or grammar book. It requires continual input from the learner, and provides instant feedback on listening and reading comprehension, writing and pronunciation.
