Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone, an interactive, multi-media, language instruction software program, is now available for use in the Paul V. Galvin Library to all students, faculty and staff of IIT.

Rosetta Stone mimics the natural process for language acquisition that we take for granted as a child. Through interactive, digital technology Rosetta Stone attempts to replicate and activate that process for all learners. Rosetta Stone immerses you in the target language with images, text, and voices of native speakers. As a result, you will learn to speak, read and write the new language quickly, naturally and easily.

It’s simple, just:

• stop by the circulation desk on the lower level
• ask for a Rosetta Stone laptop
• choose a language and a level from the following list:
  • English - Level 1, 2, & 3
  • Chinese - Level 1 & 2
  • Spanish - Level 1 & 2
  • Arabic - Level 1 & 2
  • French - Level 1 & 2

The laptop and language CD is available for use in the library for 2 hours at a time. To take full advantage of the Rosetta Stone Language instruction method, you will need to bring along your headset/microphone.

Once you have checked out a Rosetta Stone laptop and language CD, you will need to:

• Start up the laptop
• Insert the language CD
• Click on the Rosetta Stone application shortcut from the Desktop
• Select the Language and Level you would like to learn.

A user guide is available in the curriculum materials you receive when you check out the Rosetta Stone Language CD and laptop.
