Rosetta Stone: Language Learning Software

Holman Library recently added Rosetta Stone to our ever-growing collection of materials to help students succeed at Green River. Rosetta Stone is language-learning software and it is available to students and faculty in both the Holman Library and the Technology Center. Government agencies, major corporations, and colleges and universities worldwide use Rosetta Stone for language learning.

The languages available to GRCC users through Rosetta Stone include:
• English (3 levels and 10 simultaneous users)
• Spanish (2 levels and 5 simultaneous users)
• Chinese (2 levels and 2 simultaneous users)
• French (2 levels and 2 simultaneous users)
• German (2 levels and 2 simultaneous users)
• Japanese (2 levels and 2 simultaneous users)

Rosetta Stone’s award-winning Dynamic Immersion™ method taps the reasoning and language skills you used to master your native language. Rosetta Stone:
• immerses you completely in your new language so you’ll learn quickly and retain what you learn,
• provides constant feedback so you’ll feel confident in your ability to speak, listen, write, and read your new language accurately,
• guides you logically through a carefully structured curriculum so you’ll learn vocabulary and grammar effortlessly without memorization, and
• enables you to learn a new language on your own schedule.

With Rosetta Stone, learning your second language will be as natural as learning your first.

To access Rosetta Stone in the Library or Technology Center students and faculty can log on to most computers (some exceptions in the Library) and access the program from the Start Menu. You will want to use head phones or, better, a combination microphone/headphones. You can check out head phones at the Library’s Reference Desk (requires GRCC ID card) or you can bring your own head phones or combination microphone/head phones.
