Filed under Home & Living
If you are planning a trip to a foreign country, get prepared by learning the language. Language classes are sometimes inconvenient or ineffective. Instead you can learn with an interactive software program from Rosetta Stone.
As the leading language software in the world, Rosetta Stone provides a fast, effective way to learn a foreign language by creating an environment of complete immersion into a new dialect. It distinguishes itself from similar programs by teaching communication skills the same way a person’s first language is learned in childhood – by connecting the language with its meaning, in real life context.
Rosetta Stone language software comes in three different levels (beginners, intermediate and advanced) and 31 different languages. You can purchase one level of the software at a time, or a combination pack of different levels. Each level includes the language learning program and companion CDs, so you can learn at home or on the go.
Price points (per language):
Level 1: $259
Level 2: $279
Level 3: $299
Level 1 & 2: $419
Level 1, 2 & 3: $549
Today at the Travel Product Guide, you can win ONE LEVEL of ONE LANGUAGE of your choice from Rosetta Stone. That’s up to a $299 value! It’s the perfect gift for the international traveler, or even for yourself.
All you have to do is comment here about which language you want to learn, and where you want to travel.
You will be automatically entered into the giveaway drawing with your comment.
The contest runs through tonight, Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 11:59pm PT. A random winner will be selected from all the commenters to receive the software. Please only enter once and leave your email address in the appropriate spot so that we can contact you.
Comment to enter!
Thanks for participating!
Check back tomorrow for the winner of this giveaway, and to see what great gift Mary Jo has for Friday. Remember, we’ll be giving away a travel gift each day right up until Christmas.
