Rosetta Stone




We now got going with our interactiv language course, Rosetta stone, and we are very pleased! It's realy a brilliant way to learn, fun and playful (like a computer game, matching words and pictures). The idea is that you learn a new language as you learned your first one, no translation needed but when you got one word you can add an other and then put it in a context. On our stationary computer the microphone is working so there we can't get away with bad pronunciation...

As I was going online to look for a picture I also found out about "the" Rosetta Stone. A stone found by the Frence in Egypt in 1799. It's a stone with one text written in three scripts (greek, Egyptian demotic script and hieroglyphs) that's been the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
