Dynamic Immersion

Rosetta Stone uses Dynamic Immersion, an effective method of learning that mimics the way students learnt their first language. They won’t rely on grammatical lists, translation or memorisation. Instead, new language is learnt by connecting the meaning of new words and phrases to familiar concepts and images.

Learn a foreign language in context

Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help students learn and think in a new language. There is no translation and no drilling, but because students enjoy what they are learning and can see the progress they are making, the whole experience is highly engaging, and the outcome is that the language sticks.

Immediate reinforcement

Rosetta Stone Homeschool provides students with immediate feedback, helping to consolidate the language they have learnt and encourage them to continue developing. Our unique voiceprint technology automatically rates their pronunciation against that of a native speaker, while every lesson lets them know how well they did, instantly.

Systematic sequence

The Rosetta Stone curriculum is a carefully developed set of language building blocks, helping students learn basic vocabulary before gradually incorporating new words, phrases and more complex grammar into their skill set.

Four Key Areas of Language Learning

Rosetta Stone’s clear, intuitive interface uses hundreds of real-life images to teach the meaning of new words and phrases. By matching words and images, a student learns to link language and meaning in an intuitive way. From the very beginning of the programme, Rosetta Stone systematically builds nouns and verbs into complete sentences and dialogues. Along the way students develop everyday proficiency in each of the four key language skills: listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing.

Customer Comments

"As a couple we tend to travel a fair amount and we enjoy the flexibility that Rosetta Stone provides. We can dip into it at our leisure and not be restrained by class timetables or the cost of a tutor."
- Elisabeth Raymond

"I have been using Rosetta Stone for over six months now, and I am finding it very effective. I like the fact that I can work at my own pace and in my own time, for example, completing a quick ten-minute lesson at my desk during my lunch break."
- Justin Tonkin
