Rosetta Product List

All Rosetta Languages Available 6.18.07

Sonlight offers every language available through Rosetta. We are working to get them all up on the website, but if the customer can't find the appropriate language have them order a different language and put a note in the comment section.

Does SL carry Level 3 of any language? 11.30.07

Since the Level 3 is a very different format (focusing on 4 major life skill areas: finding transportation/travel language, finding housing, finding a job, and shopping), it is more intented for the semi-fluent speaker who will be living in the environment. Sonlight does not carry level 3 of any language, but customers can contact Rosetta directly.

Headsets (10.1.07)

Student Management Details (9.18.07 latest edition)

Even with the newest edition of the SMS the speaking exercises are not graded in SMS. See your Handbook for Teachers p. 9, last two paragraphs for explanation. The speaking exercises are advantageous but cannot be scored. So they are not included in the SMS preloaded lesson plans but Rosetta Stone does recommend including them by logging out after the lesson as you have indicated. See also p. 12 and p. 22 in the Handbook for Teachers.

Mac Users:

Rosetta Stone actually works with MAC OS9, which is called the Classic Mode by MAC. In our catalog, we state that Rosetta Stone requires Classic Mode for OS10. That is true. However, if one has OS10, they have Classic Mode as a part of that specific operating system. When one tries to load Rosetta Stone on a MAC OS10 system, they will automatically be moved to the Classic Mode in OS10. (Classic Mode is OS9, which is a part of OS10.)
