The Rosetta Stone Coupon Code!

As most people are aware, Rosetta Stone is the world's #1 language-learning software.  Rosetta Stone is interactive language learning software that teaches a new language by immersion, rather than translation and memorization drills.  I came across a few coupon codes that will save you 10% on your purchase from their personal edition products.  I'm not sure if all of these work or not, but here they are: vks127, qvs109, ots030

Here is my review of the product (I own both Spanish and Italian):

From their website you can find:

Learn Naturally
A completely immersive environment.
As a child, you learned to speak instinctively by experiencing the world around you. Our solution recreates this experience through a fully immersive environment right on your computer.
No translation or memorization.
We’ve eliminated the traditional approach of using translation and grammar rules, empowering you to think in your new language. There are no flash cards, dictionaries or memorization drills.
A carefully designed sequence of activities.
By surrounding you with words, images and the voices of native speakers, our method lets you progress naturally from words and phrases to sentences and conversations.
 
Engage Interactively
Start fast and stay motivated.

Unlike tapes, videos or books that passively feed you language, you’ll constantly interact with our program. Instead of repeating the same action over and over, you’ll:
  • Hear, write and pronounce words and match them to images
  • Speak aloud to finish sentences or phrases
  • Refine your pronunciation by emulating native speakers
Retain what you’ve learned.
Our exclusive Adaptive Recall™ feature brings back review exercises to help you transfer what you’ve learned into your long-term memory.
My husband and I are about 6 months away from taking a trip to Italy.  About 1 month ago, he boght me Rosetta Stone Italian because he knows I enjoy learning other languages when I will be visiting a country. I do not expect to be fluent, but I do like to know common phrases.  When we took our honeymoon (a cruise to the Caribbean) I bought Rosetta Stone Spanish and found it to be beneficial, so I was happy to have the opportunity to use it again to learn Italian. 
Rosetta Stone really does help you to learn the language, and a huge plus is that their approach doesn't make it seem like school work.  From my experience, the Spanish was easier to learn than the Italian.  But that is probably because I have a background with Spanish where I was coming into Italian not knowing a word!  Rosetta Stone is for building a good foundation in your target language.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are interested in learning another language!

Rosetta Stone is also available on Amazon for a cheaper price
