You’ve probably heard it many times before, but when you speak a little of the native language in the foreign country you visit, the local people are more likely to help you and appreciate your efforts to communicate with them.  A recent visit to France made this very clear to me when I tried to buy sundries at a local shop.

When I approached the manager for help finding batteries, in English, he said, I speak your language, can’t you try to speak mine.  I smiled and said, “un peu” which means, a little and that broke the ice.  He helped me find the items I wanted to buy, and I bade him “bonne nuit, mon ami” good night, my friend.  This exchange would not have been easy for me had I not taken some French in high school.  But it really made me think that it’s time to dust up my French and really delve into the language.  I love Paris and want to visit again soon.  Knowing how much fluency contributes to a fun and memorable visit, I’m starting lessons with Rosetta Stone.

Many Americans want to learn another language, but find it at the bottom of their list of things to do with urgency.  We all know it’s much harder to learn a new language as an adult, but it can be done.  Especially when you use the award-winning Rosetta Stone language system.  Rosetta Stone has been used by millions of people who want to broaden their cultural experiences, make themselves more employable, communicate more effective with friends and family and broaden business opportunities.  Whether you’re on the front line, or the assembly line, there’s a reason to learn a new language, and for every reason, there’s a Rosetta Stone program to fill the need.  Homeschooling software is available and you can also use a Groupon for a free, 3-day trial.

Now you can use a Groupon and save money on Rosetta Stone products to get started learning a new language.  And you can do so while driving to and from work.

So turn your vehicle into a language learning lab.  Spanish, German, Turkish or French will be demystified in months when you subscribe using the money saving Groupons available.  Buy the award-winner program that has been used by millions to make their dream of language proficiency a reality.  The world will thank you, “mon ami.”
