Regarded as one of the world’s most popular language learning software tools, Rosetta Stone combines audio, text and visual images to accelerate the rate of memory retention. Rosetta Stone was recently acclaimed and endorsed by Michael Phelps on Fox News. The software has been widely used, test and has proven to effectively teach the common person a second language.
The human brain learns the best in real life situations. Rosetta Stone’s software mimics everyday interactions with the use of audio, visual and repetition. The program associates real-life photos with the sound of the word in the same way the user would hear it in everyday life. The basic premise of the program is teach the user a second language the same way they learned their first language.
As the program continues, the simple words are added to other simple words to make phrases. The phrases then progress into more complex phrases until the user is talking in sentences. The same is true with the photographs; the images progress into responsive recognition, and then into simple concepts and eventually into complex ideas. The software never uses English which reinforces the philosophy that the best way to learn a language is to submerge the mind in it.
There are many benefits to the Rosetta Stone program. The user can always go back in the learning to review areas of weakness. There are added exercises the user can use to strengthen the basics of the language. There is also a voice recognition feature that enables users to practice the pronunciation of the language.
