The instructions for learning the language are in the form of units of lessons, different packages of lessons are available. The full course in each language is separated into levels. Rosetta Stone includes real-life images, speech recognition, it helps to learn the language easily.
Rosetta uses the
Dynamic Immersion method which helps to think in the new language so that one can develop the skill to communicate through that language. This method starts with asking questions related to a group of photos in the target language and the learner should select the appropriate photo and later on learns to pick out words and phrases that match the image.
