Free Version of Rosetta-Stone for PC and iPad

 

Duolingo is a language-teaching website (and app). Duolingo is a free version of Rosetta-Stone that delivers the same results: teaching you another language. Regular use of the site can have you speaking and writing Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese and Italian in a matter of months depending on the diligence you put into it. Hopefully, even more languages will become available soon. This may be another way to include the iPad into your curriculum
