ROSETTA STONE

  • "The Rosetta Stone Online Language Learning Center offers English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Greek and Russian. As children, we gradually learned our first language through a process of associating mental images with words or phrases, accompanied by complete immersion in
    our environment. This approach was simple because it was natural and allowed the brain to adapt to increasing complexity.     Rosetta Stone recreated this natural way of learning by developing a method that uses a computer to mimic the environment in which we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion™. A simple, intuitive interface and advanced technology confirms learning at every step of the process by prompting you to make connections between images you already understand and the new language. You receive immediate feedback, which helps you to reinforce learning. This systematic structure builds from simple nouns and verbs to more complex concepts and phrases very quickly, helping you achieve your language-learning goals faster than you ever thought possible."

    Patrons who are first time users must register by following the instructions on the Registration link. (Note: If you are a Putnam County library and are switching to the MHLS subscription, any patron using Rosetta Stone already needs to re register.)
