What makes Rosetta Stone more effective than traditional learning methods or language tapes?
Traditional methods explain the meaning and structure of a new language through translation and grammar rules in your native language. As a result, you can’t understand or use your new language without thinking in your native language. This extra step slows learning and makes speaking a new language intimidating and laborious. Rosetta Stone is more effective because it eliminates native-language translation and explanations from the language-learning process, allowing you to think exclusively in the new language. Unlike tapes, videos, or books, Rosetta Stone is interactive. At every step, you have to actively demonstrate your understanding. And Rosetta Stone develops all your language skills—listening, speaking, reading and writing—from the beginning, using your own natural language-learning ability. Doing what comes naturally makes it effective…and fun!
