Literary Discussions

I signed up for a time and date (which is required) and received an email invitation link for tonight, Tuesday, at 8pm sharp.

The webinar software is AWESOME.  To the left is a place for slide shows. Upper right is a video image of the speaker. 

I think the software is TotalE Social Cisco Webex Training Center  (pronounced Total-eee)

260 people attended this orientation of first time Rosetta Stone Users (I have Mandarin)

Studio sessions with 4 learners and one native speaker instructer may be scheduled.

When you purchase a language course (Mandarin 5 Levels) then 3 months of on-line activity for ONE student is offered. Extra on-line time starts at $25 for one month up to $149 for 15 months but averages $20 per month in volume.

Up to five learners (say family members) may use one course.  One course may be installed on a maximum of TWO computers. If you need to use other computers it must be DEACTIVED on one and activated on the third which is kind of a drag.  There is a Facebook.com/RosettaStone page and a Twitter @RosettaSuccess

You may use Iphones and Ipads.  Nothing is available yet for Android and nothing can really be said about that.

On line games and activities are available as Solo, Duo and Symbio. Solo is you against the computer. Duo/Symbio involves you connecting with a native speaker of the language YOU are trying to learn who is also a student of YOUR native language.

You should finish Level I before you schedule an on line Studio session. There are "milestones" where the computer will aggressively test your abilities and only when you pass all milestones and all on line studios will you be eligible to receive a Rosetta Stone certificate of completion.

Some universities and colleges have begun to use Rosetta Stone courses.
