It’s working up the nerve to actually speak it out loud to another person. Rosetta Stone has spent more than 30 years building its method around that exact problem, and its current platform leans on immersion rather than rote memorization to get learners talking sooner.Sapphire is Rosetta Stone’s complete learning platform, built around the company’s Dynamic Immersion method. Rather than translating word by word, it teaches through context, imagery, listening, reading and speaking, so you absorb a language closer to the way you picked up your first one.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The subscription covers 25 languages, among them Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Mandarin, German and Italian.One of the most exciting tools available to learners is TruAccent, a speech recognition system tuned specifically for language learners that listens to how you say a word and helps you adjust. Chat Missions let you rehearse realistic conversations in travel and social settings, while Sapphire Studio builds personalized activities around the topics you care about. More than 500 flashcard sets span travel, business, hobbies, culture and sport.Sapphire syncs across desktop, mobile and tablet, so you can move between a browser at your desk and your phone on the train without losing progress. A microphone or headset is recommended to get the most out of the pronunciation feedback, and an internet connection is required. The approach is self-paced, which suits learners fitting practice around work or school.If you want to try a more natural approach to learning a new language, a Rosetta Stone Sapphire 1-year subscription is now available for $177 CAD.What: Limited-time salePrice: $177 CAD (Was: $222 CAD)Where to buy: Rosetta Stone Sapphire: 1-Year SubscriptionPrices subject to change.
