Rosetta Stone: The Dynamic Immersion Method

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Rosetta Stone Software is well known as one of the leading foreign language programs available. While programs like Pimsleur focus solely on the conversational aspects of the language, Rosetta Stone provides a much more comprehensive.Â

Rosetta Stone provides an easy and well-organized way to learn a language. Rosetta Stone teaches by using a series of drills that associate text, spoken words, and pictures. Rosetta Stone teaches you way beyond tourist phrases, but also lots of vocabulary and grammar in a clear and simple manner.

Rosetta Stone is the premier comprehensive language learning software in the world, and is used successfully by millions of people in 150 countries. It has been adopted by governments, corporations government agencies and corporations, public libraries, community organizations, home educators and tens of thousands of schools and universities, Rosetta Stone is selected over other language learning tools because it is easy to use, and it works.

The method is known as ‘dynamic immersion’ which theoretically aims to teach you a new language the way you learned your mother tongue as a child. There is no translation and you learn by matching up words and sounds to images on-screen.

Rosetta Stone has been designed in conjunction with teachers, language lab coordinators, psychologists and other  specialists to address the language learning needs for the advanced student. is based on four life-skill areas: Transportation, housing, shopping, and employment. Rosetta Stone’s technique, can seem  a bit tedious sometimes in comparison to simpler programs, but it makes it so you almost can’t help but learn.

The program teaches via repetition and starts with basic nouns and building with tiny, accumulating lessons, makes it different from a program that tries to get you communicating straight away.

Rosetta Stone is exceptionally easy to use. The program is very  simple; the interactive lessons are very intuitive. Rosetta Stone is a stand-alone language learning software package. It is designed for all learning levels. Rosetta Stone Software effectively teaches all listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking.

The biggest downside of Rosetta Stone is the price: it’s simply too expensive for most users.

I prefer less-expensive, but still great courses such as:

The Rocket series (Rocket Spanish, Rocket French, Rocket Chinese, etc.)

The Pimsleur Method
