The Rosetta Stone Method Addresses All Four Key Areas of Language Learning 

The Four Keys That Unlock The Door To Learning A New Language

If you are to be truely proficient in a language, you must be able to listen to and understand others who are speaking the language. You must be able to confortably speak the language. You must be able to read the language, and finally, you must be able to write in the language.

The Rosetta Stone Language Program excells in developing all these skills as you work through their system of Dynamic Immersion™

First, the Rosetta Stone German Language program uses native German speakers and everyday language to develop your listening comprehension skills an a natural and easy manner.

Second, you will improve our pronunciation by using dynamic speech recognition technology to compare your speech with a native German speaker.

Third, by linking examples of the written language to real-life objects, ideas, and actions you will develop your reading skills.

And fourth, you will practice writing what you hear spoken in a series of exercises where the software checks your work and then lets you correct any mistakes you have made.

The Rosetta Stone German Language Software provides the key to unlock all four of these critical areas of language learning.

How the Rosetta Stone Method Works. 

Learning German By Dynamic Immersion

Rosetta Stone's Dynamic Immersion method reconnects people to the language skills they used successfully to master their first language. With Rosetta Stone, you start from a position of strength-your own strength.

Learn a Foreign Language through Context
Rosetta Stone presents a carefully chosen selection of four images and asks you to select the image that matches the written text and the voices of native speakers. Building on the knowledge you've already gained and your intuitive grasp of the meaning of each picture, you make a choice. There's absolutely no translation or memorization to hold you back, so you start making progress immediately.

Immediate Reinforcement
The very second you complete a task, Rosetta Stone provides feedback. Speak a word and our unique voiceprint technology automatically rates your pronunciation. Connect an image with a phrase and you'll immediately learn if your choice was correct. Complete a set of exercises and you'll instantly know how well you did. With Rosetta Stone, you always know where you stand.

Systematic Sequence
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 existing learning. Your understanding of your new language grows naturally.

WARNING: Free is NOT always FREE! 

Be sure to read the fine print!!

You will frequently see Google ads on this site that say you can get a copy of the Rosetta Stone German Language-Learning software for free. As we all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch! Read the fine print and you will find that in order to get your copy you must exactly perform a set of responses to a series of advertising offers, which includes the requirement to purchase other products and or subscribe to paid services. Only after the advertisers have notified the company that you have satisfied all the requirements of their offers, will the software be sent to you. In effect you end up having to pay for it indirectly and get a lot of other junk in the process. In addition you provide your name and mailing address which will be made available to a number of mailing lists from which you will receive tons of junk mail. Click the link "Program Requirements" at the bottom of their page for the fine print details. My recommendation is don't fall for it!
