So why the Rosetta Stone Course, what makes this so unique? I want you to think about two things.  The first is what are some other ways you have gone about learning a language. I mentioned before that classes can be expensive, and we can pretty much rule out at this point the language learning done before college level courses, unless you are one of the lucky few that was able to retain the knowledge that you learned.  A lot of the issues with learning that way is that you are already learning from a teacher that is not a native of that country, does that that make them a bad teacher? No not at all, but they may not be able to guide you to the most accurate pronunciation. The other part of learning through classes, is that you are learning by English translation.  That means you have to learn double the amount to speak a new language.  You are trying to associate the word with the English word and that is just too much for your brain to retain.  Another negative to learning in a class setting is the fact that a teacher can not keep up with each individual.  They have a scheduled plan they must stick with and whether or not you are falling behind there isn't a lot of options besides tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions can be very very costly.

The second thing I want you to think about is the way you learned how to speak English, or your native language if English is not your first language.  There was no translation, there was no teacher, there was no need for any of that because you learned naturally. Rosetta Stone is based on this natural learning. You will not see any need for English Translation. You learn through a process called dynamic immersion.  From the very first lesson, you are shown images, a picture of say a boy or a girl, and you will see the word above (I have been doing Italian language courses) so Bambino, and Bambina. You will then hear the word spoken to you by a native speaker of that language. On the next portion you will have two blank pictures at the bottom of the screen and you will then select which one is the right image when the word is spoken.  If you think about it this is exactly how we learned as a child. We saw mom, we heard her called mom, and eventually we learned to call her mom.  There is no excuses with this type of learning, because you have already proved that you can do it.
