Can you believeRosetta Stonehas been around since 1992? It used to be all the rage years ago (in fact, anyone with a subscription to the language learning software had bragging rights when it first hit the scene). Now, in 2023, it's still one of the best platforms tolearn a languagefrom home. Not only is it more convenient, but it's also *a lot* more affordable than most language courses when you opt for thelifetime subscriptionplan, which gives you unlimited access to learn all 25 languages offered for, well, life. Especially now that you can snag it for as low as $179 (was $299) as part of a special back-to-school offer. Yes, that's a whopping 40 percent off—but you only have until September 4 to get the discount.
If you're wondering why you should buy it now, just think about how learning a new language will benefit you in the long run, especially when you've got a big vacation planned. Let's say you'reheaded to Paris(um, jealous)—it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up some French so you can order escargots like a pro and not totally feel like a tourist while you're there. (From experience, the French are actuallybig on greetings, so knowing how to say and use “Bonjour, madame/monsieur,” and “Bonsoir” will get you far.) Plus, it makes a great gift for the whole family to prep for the trip together!
The bonus is that you can learn French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch and so much more right on your phone, tablet or computer. And apparently, it's so easy to navigate the lessons that some buyers have even signed up their tech-challenged parents. After all, it's never too late to learn a language! The TikTok below is a shining example.
