Rosetta Stone® holds the key to language-learning success for expatriates and businesses
Advances in language-learning technology mean vital preparation for immersion in a new market can begin before leaving the country.
Companies and individuals turn to Rosetta Stone® interactive language-learning solutions to prioritise localisation and business success outside their home country. With levels 4 and 5 recently added in French, Italian, German and Spanish, learners can progress even further.
Rosetta Stone Managing Director for Europe, Sylke Riester, said: “Globalisation means now is the right time for language training, with innovative and flexible language-learning solutions making this success achievable for more people every day.”
Rosetta Stone uses technology to teach instinctively, enabling expats to surround themselves in the language they want to learn before they arrive in their new home. This is called Dynamic Immersion®.
As a pivotal skill for expanding companies, language training will nurture staff development and attract strong recruits. The Confederation of British Industry has reported that more than a third of companies (36%) recruit employees specifically for their language skills. The majority of employers (74%) are looking for this conversational competence rather than full fluency.
Accessibility and ability to monitor progress are two features that appeal to business leaders using Rosetta Stone, while flexibility and innovative approach make it easy for learners to use.
By using technology to replicate the way we all learnt our first language as a child, employees heading abroad can pick up their new language naturally. Words and phrases are understood in context, using images and scenarios. www.rosettastone.co.uk
