Classes are delivered via a mix of flashcard style tutorials and longer lessons that are based around real-life scenarios. In addition to this, you’ll also be given tests throughout the course and pronunciation feedback, courtesy of the TruAccent speech recognition technology. The 12-month Rosetta Stone package allows you to learn 24 different languages across a year. Available as an app or via an online portal, the courses offer a mix of interactive lessons, tests and progress tracking tools. Rosetta Stone operates on a learning-by-immersion philosophy. That means that all English is stripped away from the interface as you’re learning, so that you’re thoroughly immersed in the new language. While some of the more difficult languages with non-Western alphabets might have a few buttons in English to help you navigate, you should find that most of the time you have to operate in a different tongue. You can also get virtual face-to-face lessons with a tutor, but be warned this isn’t part of the standard package. You’ll have to pay a little extra if you want this, but it could be well worth the cost if you’re serious about mastering your accent. Typically, a 12-month Unlimited Languages package would set you back at $179, so the drop down to $95.88 (opens in new tab) offers a huge 45% discount. Unfortunately, there’s no option to pay in monthly installments, but paying in one big chunk works out cheaper than the alternative offering of three month’s worth of lessons for $35.97.
