Want to learn another language? Are you planning a trip abroad? Do you know someone who’s trying to improve their knowledge of English? Like over 5,000,000 learners in over 100 countries, you can use the Rosetta Stone for your language-learning success! The program is easy to use with thousands of real-life images, written text and voices of native speakers teaching 30 world languages including Chinese, English, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese.

The Rosetta Stone program, which is free to all Tompkins County Public Library card holders and library patrons within the Finger Lakes Library System will be demonstrated by adult services librarian, Joyce Wheatley.
