Next time you travel to another country, consider learning the language. It may not be as hard as you think. Whether it is brushing up, learning for the first time or you just want to show off to your multi-lingual friends, I highly recommend Rosetta Stone.

I am passing this along because I am truly amazed at the ease of the language program they have designed. I have tried the cd’s and nothing could be worse than listening to the same mundane voice over and over. I am not the only one giving this program high praise. Guess who else endorses this creative way to learn? US State Department, Fortune 500 executives and NASA to name a few.

Here is why it is so great - The program is a fully interactive instruction incorporating the four necessary skills needed to be fluent which are, listening, reading, speaking and writing. Some people learn visually, some by hearing and others through active involvement. With Dynamic Immersion, you think in the new language and quickly develop the skills and structures needed to communicate. With voices of native speakers, written text, thousands of real-life images and really neat tools like recording your own voice until you are satisfied with your accent. Available in 30 languages from $195
