Rosetta Stone success stories
They say it's a small world. I think it makes it smaller if you learn another language.
Once you start, it's not that intimidating. And it's extraordinarily rewarding as well.

Recently I decided that I had to go beyond just purely audio and start learning it more in depth - and that's when I decided to go with Rosetta Stone.

You have to speak Italian to get past 'tourist' Italy...and that's 95% of it.

Don't worry about the big picture. Don't worry about having that fluent conversation with someone...just focus on the basics and have fun doing it along the way—it's really about the journey when it comes to language.

Once you start getting to the point where people see you trying, they just open up. The whole world opens up, and the world becomes smaller.

When you're going out to serve and try and help them in a moment of need, you try to make them as comfortable as possible and better serve them...and I can help them just by speaking in their native language.

My students all learn different languages. One boy's mother is Korean, so it's great he's studying it. He's been able to converse more with some family members.

I like dabbling in languages...I just don't like sitting around watching TV most of the time, so for me it's just a hobby.
