     Fairfield Language Technologies produces the Rosetta Stone online language courses, revolutionary programs acclaimed for their speed, power, and effectiveness. Corporations and government agencies worldwide build entire language training programs around the Rosetta Stone. Over 5,000,000 learners in 10,000 schools and over 100 countries use the Rosetta Stone for language-learning success.

Developed in 1991, the Rosetta Stone combines two basic beliefs. The natural way we learn native languages as a child remains, for everyone, the most successful method for learning new languages. And interactive, digital technology can replicate and activate that method powerfully for learners of any age. Drawing upon their experience and research, the Rosetta Stone's founders developed the world's only comprehensive language-learning software based exclusively on immersion instruction in the target language.

The Rosetta Stone's award-winning method uses thousands of real-life images, written text and voices of native speakers to teach you like a native learner. Each lesson taps your intuitive ability to connect words and meanings "from the inside." You learn to speak, read and write the new language quickly, naturally and easily. That's the Rosetta Stone difference: simulating the natural language learning process over the internet to learn new languages.

It's the natural way to learn. It works. And it works fast.

The actual Rosetta Stone was discovered along the banks of the Nile River by Napoleon's troops in 1799. Engraved on the stone was a decree in three different scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphics, demotic and ancient Greek. Years later, it proved to be the key to unlocking the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The Rosetta Stone language software, like its namesake, is the key to learning new languages
