No translation or memorization required.

Rosetta Stone uses rich visual imagery to help students learn and think in a new language. This association of language with images is an integral part of the Dynamic Immersion method. Students learn in context and make a direct connection between words and their meanings.

Building on the knowledge your student gains and their intuitive grasp of the meaning of each picture, they make a choice. There's absolutely no translation or memorization to hold them back, so they start making progress immediately.

The moment you complete a task, your learner receives instant feedback. They will speak a word and our unique speech recognition technology automatically rates their pronunciation. They connect an image with a phrase and immediately learn if their choice was correct. They complete a set of exercises and instantly know how well they did. With Rosetta Stone Homeschool, your student always knows where they stand and you can easily track their level of success through the Parent Administrative Tools' Progress Reports.

Enter Dynamic Immersion.
Dynamic Immersion is a continuous process. The Rosetta Stone curriculum is carefully sequenced, gradually incorporating new words, phrases and more complex grammar as it reinforces learned language. Language comprehension grows naturally.

Innovative technology.
Rosetta Stone places this Dynamic Immersion method at the core of our curriculum to develop skills. The simple, intuitive interface helps to keep your students engaged in the solution, while advanced speech recognition technology makes certain that they're speaking correctly and accurately.

Discover the building blocks of a new language: Level 1.
A beginning language-learning curriculum that assumes no prior knowledge, Level 1 builds a foundation of fundamental vocabulary and essential language structures to help students gain the confidence they need to master basic conversational skills. In addition, Parent Administrative Tools help parents plan lessons as well as monitor and report on student progress.

Sample topics include: greetings and introductions, colors, adjectives, numbers, family relations, time of day, singular and plural nouns, and much more!

Audio Companion
Audio Companion CDs reinforce language learning anytime, anyplace. Students will acquire new skills on the computer and then reinforce them with Audio Companion. Simply play the CDs on a CD player or download to an MP3 player.

• Version 3 Homeschool Edition CD-ROM software for Level 1 (Windows/Mac)

4.0 out of 5 stars good but not great, September 23, 2010

I'd heard so much about the Rosetta Stone, but I was a little disappointed. It's great in that it uses all learning styles to learn the language. It works great for me but not so good for my 6-yr-old. You really need to be reading to get the full benefit from this program. Also, I've had a lot of trouble installing and using it. I must say, there is a toll-free number that you can call for help. You may be on hold a while and have to be bumped up a tier because the person can't figure out your problem, but EVENTUALLY, you'll get the problem solved.

This has been good for my teen daughter, who had never studied a foreign language before. Like all Rosetta Stone products, it uses immersion and repetition to teach and utilizes spoken words, written words, and pictures. Any child old enough to read English decently well could use this program. The homeschool edition includes more "curriculum" choices, including one that spreads each level across a full year of school, with a fairly small amount of work for each day.

For my husband and I, who have both learned other languages, even the faster-paced Rosetta Stone curricula are frustrating. We have learned to prefer the traditional verb tables and lists of vocabulary to memorize and learn faster that way.

Though registering the program did lock me out of putting it on a second computer in the house, Rosetta Stone's support helped me through installing it on a second computer without any problems.
