So today we're going to be talking about language learning.

To-infinitive

I'm sure anybody who has clicked on this video is curious about what I'm about to talk about.

Basically, Rosetta Stone reached out to me, which is pretty amazing because Rosetta Stone is a very popular language program.

And I grew up with it when I was, you know, in the 2000 early two thousands, it's been around for 25 years.

I'm sure a lot of you guys know what Rosetta Stone is.

I'm going to talk about it a little bit for those of you who do not know and are curious about learning language online.

So today I'm gonna try Rosetta Stone with you guys for the first time today, Um, I looked through their platform a little bit just to see how organized it waas and it seems very legit.

So I'm going to be going through a basic Japanese unit we're going to talk about if Rosetta Stone is worth purchasing now, the one thing that I really want you guys to know is to wait until the end because I will be offering something for you.

guys with the link in the description down below.

So if you are serious about learning Japanese, I think that this would be great for you.

So please hold on until the end where I talk about that and you guys can decide if it's right for you or not.

I am not fluent in Japanese in any way, shape or form.

But I am at an intermediate stage and I've been stuck in that stage for a really long time because I've been living in Japan as an English teacher and once you start teaching English, there's a lot of schools that don't allow you to speak Japanese to the students or to the staff.

So because of that reason, I think I've been stuck in that same level for a very long time.

I have to really think about what I'm saying before I say it now, and that's something that I really want to improve on.

So I decided to start working with language programs and I started, you know, whipping up books again and studying and reviewing things again because that's something that I've always wanted to make time for, And now that I do have more time for it, that's something that I'm looking forward to be doing.

Rosetta Stone used to be where you like, purchased it by calling a number, I believe, or you would purchase it at the store and you would install it into your computer.

But now they have an app, which is pretty amazing.

I've never seen it before until they reached out to me.

They said they have an app, and then the desktop version is available as well.

Today we're gonna be looking at the desktop version, but I will talk a little bit more about the app.

If you're interested in the APP was that a stone isn't just for Japanese, it's also for other languages.

So if you're looking toe learn, they have so many options I can't even say.

But some of them are German and French, Japanese, Spanish, all sorts of things.

So this is such a good deal for you if you wanna learn multiple languages or if you're learning for a job, the whole basis of Rosetta Stone has changed where you can learn the language anywhere you go.

So it's so much more convenient nowadays, you know, 2020.

That's how language programs have developed.

I just looked at the platform to see what it was like.

So if you look at the screen here, we have a very colorful look to it.

You can change from beginner to intermediate thio proficient.

So that is a good that is a plus for Rosetta Stone because I thought it was just for beginners.

So we're gonna go to beginners because I know a lot of you guys want to start learning Japanese, and they have all the lessons here, so they have less than one lesson to less than three and lesson four.

So this is basically a run through of the language.

And then the next thing that you go to is pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing.

You can also do extended learning, which is pretty cool.

So we have play talk story, so play you can play games with other people, so if you click on play, it'll go.

Eso You can do it by yourself or you can do it with two people so you can't unlock this part until you do complete two consecutive core lessons to unlock this game So you can't play any games until you complete certain things which makes sense, and then they have stories.

The cool thing about the reading is you can change it so you have a better Ghana and cut the Kana and then you have kanji and fatigue on a footy.

Ghana is, um eso you have kanji here and then at the top, you have the small heater Ghana so it can help you out.

Some of you guys may not have gotten to the writing portion yet, so you can change to remedy and remedy is just the words the pronunciation in English writing.

But I feel like that's kind of pointless, like I would not go for this.

First, I would try toe, learn some Japanese before you start Japanese writing and reading before you start this.

And then the next thing that we have here is core lesson.

I just clicked on it once, but I didn't get through anything.

So you can click, continue, and then it'll take you.

So it'll kind of test you on your pronunciation and how you say certain things.

Oh, onoko 000 Nanako Otoka Onoko Yeah, for local local Oh, okay.

So here it says Juicy, juicy, and you can hear it.

You don't have to be able to read this, so you just listen to what they say.

At the top is which one is juice that looks the same as this one.

Obviously this picture is t So click on T music me zoo.

So you cling on water because that's the last one.

Okay, so I forgot to mention But you can click on the bottom to get the answers.

If you want Thio so you can click that button and it'll come up as the answers.

And then over on the other side, you can check how many got wrong and how many you got correct.

And then you can also change the reading.

But you can change it to English if you want.

So it's easier for you to read if you don't know Japanese and then at the top, you can actually get a really live teacher so you can sign up for some language tutoring if you would like Thio.

Okay, so I just finished the whole entire first lesson.

And obviously, if you go home, you can click on your plan so you can choose a plan and you have different levels.

So we have beginner, intermediate and proficient.

So if I click on intermediate, I could go next and here we go.

Let's see travel, family work, basics and beyond.

So we could go right into Week One get started.
