Arlington, VA, March 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
In an effort to help connect the millions who are home-bound globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rosetta Stone (NYSE:RST) today announced it will offer free unlimited language tutoring for all consumer subscribers* through June 30, 2020. Rosetta Stone live tutoring features native speakers who help language learners practice their new language by listening and speaking in an immersive, interactive environment.
“Rosetta Stone tutoring is a fun and excellent way to connect with other learners during quarantine, while at the same time seriously boosting your language learning -- learning how to converse in a group setting is a pivotal skill to becoming conversational and comfortable in real-life settings. It is incredibly beneficial to participate in a live session of listening and speaking with a native speaker,” said Matt Hulett, Rosetta Stone President. “With free unlimited tutoring, we aim to give subscribers significantly more value to their language learning while helping alleviate the social isolation so many of us are feeling during this time -- I know I am going stir crazy at home and have found that this really helps.”
Rosetta Stone’s web-based, virtual tutoring classes feature a group of learners paired with an expert native-language instructor. The small group environment encourages ample speaking practice and enables direct feedback for each participant. Tutoring sessions are designed to enhance learning from the lessons within the Rosetta Stone language app and are 25 minutes long. Users need to have completed at least two lessons in the first unit of their Rosetta Stone app to participate in tutoring.
Existing subscribers can access free tutoring by logging into Rosetta Stone via their desktop computer and clicking “Live Tutoring”. New subscribers can find more information at rosettastone.com/freetutoring.
