How to Learn Language With Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone is the brainchild of Allen Stoltzfus, who after struggling with learning Russian, decided to create a way to immerse those who desire to learn a foreign language, in the language learning process. Through the use of computer software, Rosetta Stone offers learners the possibility of learning 31 different languages. The software utilizes pictorial representations and words to teach the chosen language -- there are no translations from native language to foreign language -- which the company claims makes learning language easier. With repeated exposure to the Rosetta Stone software, it is possible to effectively learn a new language.
