When I first heard of the Rosetta Stone language courses, I thought it was named after a person (probably a woman) named 'Rosetta'. Yeah...funny, right? Well, it wasn't until this year (yep, that recently) that I found out why it is in fact named that. It is named after an ancient stone tablet with three languages inscribed on it...all of the same text. One of the languages was Greek, which was an already known language. The other two were Egyptian heiroglyphs and another form of ancient Egyptian (pretty sure). Anywhooo!!....This stone was the key to deciphering Egyptian heiroglyphics. Already knowing one language on the stone gave the discoverers the key they needed to unlocking the mysteries of the other two since they were exactly the same text! Pretty cool! So now I understand why this particular company named their language courses "Rosetta Stone"...giving people the key to unlocking the mysteries of other languages. Below is your chance to win a complete set of these award winning language courses! You absolutely HAVE to enter this contest! I have been drooling over Rosetta Stone for a couple of years now, but haven't been able to get it. This is the perfect opportunity for all of us who have been wanting it. Now you can win a complete set!!! Yippee! Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE!

This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking.
