Students acquire new skills on the computer, and then reinforce them with Audio Companion™. Simply play the CDs on a CD player or download to an MP3 player.
Enhance the learning experience
Audio Companion activities correspond to Rosetta Stone computer-based lessons. Listen to Audio Companion and practice the content learned on the computer, turning travel time into productive language learning time.
Extend study time
Ambitious and advanced learners don’t have to stop when they complete their computer lessons with Rosetta Stone. Audio Companion lets them access lessons whenever and wherever they want.
Build vocabulary and pronounce words and phrases
Audio Companion features distinct words and shorter phrases to make them easier to hear and repeat. Students will build good enunciation habits by hearing native speakers pronounce new vocabulary first.
Speak and converse
The speaking portion of Audio Companion lets learners listen to questions and answers, repeating them to use later. To help them build conversational skills, first they will listen to a conversation and then repeat phrases individually.
Rosetta Stone® Version 3 Homeschool Edition is a comprehensive foreign language curriculum designed to meet the unique needs of the home educator . Rosetta Stone Version 3 Homeschool Edition builds upon the solid Dynamic Immersion™ foundation that has made Rosetta Stone #1 among home educators, while integrating key language-learning skills with engaging content and lifelike conversation. Perhaps best of all, Rosetta Stone is a self-paced and self-study program, so parents don’t need to know the language their student is learning!
Rosetta Stone Version 3 Homeschool Edition assumes no prior knowledge of the language and recreates the language environment using rich, vibrant images and voices of native speakers. Students begin speaking from the very beginning, and learn vocabulary and grammar as they progress through exercises that integrate all major language skills; listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A headset with microphone is included, so students can actually speak when prompted, simulating real life conversation with a native speaker using Rosetta Stone’s proprietary speech recognition and analysis tool.
Each Lesson builds systematically as students progress, and material is continually tested and reinforced. Interactive milestone lessons engage the student in real-time conversation, while the all new administrative tool allows parents to plan, track, and report student progress.
