Discover which language you should learn with the award-winning Rosetta Stone app.
Which Language Should I Learn?
If you’re trying to decide on a language to learn, the answer is usually simple: French… or Italian, Mandarin (Chinese), German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, or whatever piques your interest. While English is incredibly handy in dozens of countries, having a command of at least one other language can open doors to travel, form friendships, and even bolster your career.
Particularly if you’re planning a vacation, getting down the basics of a new language can completely change your days/weeks/months abroad. Not only will it make it easier to connect with people in everyday situations, but having some fundamentals down will significantly smooth your interactions with locals in stores, museums, restaurants, hotels, and beyond.
Rosetta Stone’s Dynamic Immersion® methodology teaches you the language, not just the words. What makes this approach effective is that we prepare you to use your new language in your everyday life. So, it’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. It helps you get ready to handle any and all situations with confidence.
How Rosetta Stone Can Help
Learning a language can be an experience that transforms your life. Not only does it open you to a world full of professional and personal possibilities, but it also expands your thinking and can prime your confidence. As technology like the internet shrinks our world and we become members of a global community, the ability to learn a language becomes an essential part of how we interact and succeed.
Perhaps you’ve hesitated to learn a new language because you’re worried about the time commitment. Or maybe you’ve heard it’s more difficult to learn a language as an adult. Set these common misconceptions about learning languages aside, because research suggests that your ability to learn a language is mostly a matter of practise, building confidence through speaking, and contextualising your learning.
After you decide on which language to learn and begin to pick up the basics, developing accurate pronunciation depends on getting immediate feedback on your pronunciation efforts. Rosetta Stone helps you get the pronunciation right in a snap with our TruAccent™ speech-recognition engine. Our patented technology compares your voice to native and non-native speakers in real-time, so you get immediate feedback for the most accurate pronunciation. It’s also adjustable, which allows you to tweak your accent as needed. TruAccent is a powerful tool for helping you learn and speak virtually any language.
After you have acquired basic words, short phrases, and their proper pronunciation, it will be a natural transition to learn the longer phrases that make up so much of everyday conversation. Rosetta Stone’s brief, 10-minute lessons are built in exactly this way, teaching the basics first, then moving onto longer phrases. This approach helps you acquire the skills to understand and be understood with confidence.
