Contest: Win Rosetta Stone Italian Language Program


One day you're at the office working and the next you’re cruising the Italian Rivera. While some jetsetters may only know how to ask “where is the bathroom?” in a variety of different dialects, wouldn't it be helpful if you could converse more fluently in a foreign language?

Luckily, you no longer need to sit through hours of classes or struggle with an English-to-Whatever translation dictionary to grasp a solid understanding of a new native tongue.

Offering 31 different language options, Rosetta Stone provides an immersive environment that recreates the instinctive language learning experience in which we learned our first language Additionally, the easy-to-use software and addictive quality of Rosetta Stone helps users stay engaged and facilitates success. Rosetta Stone easily expands a person’s knowledge of the country’s native tongue and enhances the overall travel experience.

Between the time the trip is booked and bags are packed, Rosetta Stone software will teach you key phrases in the foreign language of your choice and add a whole new layer to your upcoming adventure. Or, for the ambitious cruise aficionado, Rosetta Stone and it’s Audio Companion for iPod can fit in between sunning on the deck and dancing in the evening for great on-the-go practice.

Enter to Win Rosetta Stone's Italian Level 1 Language Program
One lucky reader will be randomly chosen from all entries to win Rosetta Stone's Italian Level 1 language program. Contest starts midnight May 21 and ends Sunday, July 5 at 11:59 pm. Contest is restricted to residents of the United States.
