Visto l'interese che riscuotono i corsi di lingua (forse perchè siamo
in periodo di vacanza e molti viaggiano), posto questo riepilogo sui
corsi rosetta stone disponibili in rete.
Vi ricordo che l'interfaccia dei corsi è multilingua e quindi anche in
italiano


The Rosetta Stone Method
The Rosetta Stone's Dynamic Immersion method works by simulating the
natural language learning process we all experienced as children. No
translation. No memorization. No drills or lists. With instruction
exclusively in the target language, you start thinking in the new
language from the very first lesson. The association of pictures,
native speaker voices and texts allows you to master basic vocabulary
quickly. And this in turn acts as a foundation on which to build
words, phrases, sentences, and grammatical structures, still in the
target language only.

Within each lesson, choose from a variety of different activities that
concentrate on listening comprehension, reading comprehension,
speaking or writing:

Dynamic Immersion teaches you to link speech directly with meaning.
Match the spoken phrase and the image correctly and the meaning is
clear. No translation or memorization. The words have meaning. The
image has a name.

Reading comprehension parallels the comprehension of speech. The
Rosetta Stone develops reading skills by presenting written text
without spoken-language support. Match words to image and the computer
verifies the meaning.

Speaking a new language is the learner's most rewarding challenge.
Speech Recognition records your voice and plays it back for comparison
with the voice of the native speaker. A graded meter quickly assesses
your proficiency and a voiceprint analyzes your pronunciation in
detail.

Dictation uses the computer to check your written work for accuracy.
Click on the picture. Write what you hear. The program indicates
errors and allows you to correct your work before you proceed.
