The Rosetta Stone company produces popular and effective language learning software. Rosetta Stone Spanish is their best seller. Those who choose Rosetta Stone learn Spanish in the best way technology can afford. If you can't take classes for reasons of schedule or budget, Rosetta Stone is a good option. The elements that separate Rosetta Stone courses from those discount courses you find in many stores are 1) size/scope and 2) advanced features, including speech recognition. Background Note: The Rosetta Stone was an inscribed stone tablet found by the French in Egypt in 1798 shortly after Napoleon's army conquered the place. It has been called "the most famous slab of stone in the history of archaeology". The inscriptions were in Greek, Demotic (alphabetic) Egyptian, and Hieroglyphic Egyptian and allowed the first deciphering of the hieroglyphs in modern times. Most of the deciphering was accomplished by a brilliant young linguist named Jean-Francois Champollion in the early 1800s. Interestingly, a descendant, also named Champollion, is at present a leader in machine translation. Web Design - Small business custom website from EverestWebDesign.com.
