Rosetta Stone Named Education Product Of The Year

2008 June, 13

Rosetta Stone Version 3 Personal Edition language-learning software has been named Macworld Education Product of the Year 2008.

Rosetta Stone, the leading providers of language-learning software and online learning solutions, has been named Macworld Education Product of the Year 2008, as part of this year’s Macworld Awards.

The prize was awarded for the Rosetta Stone Version 3 Personal Edition language-learning software, the next generation of an interactive software program that uses technology to create an environment of complete immersion in the language — the fastest, most effective way to learn a new language.

The Macworld Award winners were announced at a prestigious Macworld Awards ceremony on Thursday 12th June at the IndigO2 at London's O2 Arena.

The win marks the second award of 2008 for the European division of Rosetta Stone, who were also awarded the La Nua Gaelic award at the beginning of the year, to commemorate the launch of the first Rosetta Stone Irish language-learning product to the UK market.

Steven Wines, Managing Director for Europe, of Rosetta Stone, said: “We are delighted to have been named Education Product of the Year, and given this marks our second award of the year, are now aiming for a hat-trick by the end of 2008!”
