Rosetta Stone French Complete Course Bundle (PC)

Product Information

The latest technology, fun features, and customization are critical components of an engaging app, but what makes Rosetta Stone truly different is not the application but the substance of your French lessons. As far as we’re concerned, the goal of learning the French language is simple, and it’s not about acquiring vocabulary or memorising verb conjugations. Rosetta Stone focuses on giving learners the confidence to thrive in real-world conversations. The Dynamic Immersion® methodology Once you feel comfortable with common conversational phrases and greetings, it’s time to take your French to the next level. To be confident speaking the language, you’ll want to also dig into French grammar to get a better understanding of how to structure sentences. The best way to practise French grammar is not to do pen and paper drills or exercises, but to learn how to conjugate verbs and get subject agreement in the context of actual French conversations. Focus on getting your French verbs to agree Rosetta Stone offers both private and group live training sessions. It’s suggested to do the course material first then sign up for the lessons. In addition to the pronouns in the previous section, there is another group of pronouns that function with prepositions as indirect objects. These are called prepositional object pronouns. They can only be indirect objects and, as such, are always preceded by a preposition. Learning a language has lots of practical benefits, especially if you plan to travel or study abroad. But language learning can also open doors to opportunities in your professional and personal life that you might not have otherwise considered. Rosetta Stone understands that when it comes to learning how to speak French, it’s about the journey and not the destination.

Some languages feel more intuitive for English speakers than others, and French is undoubtedly one of them. This may be due to a large number of French words that are commonly used in English: In English “him” is an indirect object. But in French, the verb “chercher” does not have a preposition after it, so any object that receives its action is direct.

What is the Rosetta Stone’s legacy?

Ultimately the question is, “Will I learn to speak French fluently with Rosetta Stone”? My honest answer is probably not. What the program does offer is the chance to gain mastery in pronunciation and listening comprehension. There are two categories to which the various sets of French pronouns belong: personal and impersonal.

French is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world and the only other language besides English spoken on all five continents. With over 220 million speakers, it’s regarded as a language that is useful not only for cuisine, fashion, and travel but also in a competitive, international job market where France has the fifth-largest economy. Direct object pronouns are, as their name suggests, pronouns that are used as direct objects in a sentence. An object is the noun that receives the action of the verb. “Direct” means that there are no prepositions or other objects that come between it and the verb. Take this example:In English, nouns show singular or plural based on their ending. This is fairly straightforward and accomplished by placing an “-s,” “-es” or “-ies” to the end of a word. The lessons also cover a list of adjectives such as cher (expensive), bon marché (cheap), ouvert (opened) and fermé(closed). You will soon discover that there are a relatively small number of basic French words and short phrases that pop up frequently in everyday conversations. Focusing on learning how to accurately pronounce these commonly used words and short phrases will help you build a foundation. This set goes beyond familiar greetings like “ Bonjour” and “S’il vous plaît” and includes words and phrases that native French speakers pepper into everyday conversation. These words include quoi, où, qui, quand, pourquoi, and comment. These French words are very similar in meaning to the basic English words of what, where, who, when, why, and how. The units cover a specific themes, such as Dining & Vacation or Professions & Hobbies (entire Units list included below). Indirect object pronouns are like direct ones, only they aren’t the first to receive the action of the verb. These pronouns are objects that also receive a verbs action, but share it with others. In some cases, these are objects that are simply preceded by a preposition.
