\u00a0We love languages, and genuinely want YOU to succeed with your language learning.\u00a0 So we also develop language programs for individual learners, public libraries, schools, companies, and other organizations, which leverage the same technology and methodology as our programs for government language schools.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the contrast between our programs and those of Rosetta Stone, we have prepared a white paper explaining <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transparent.com\/white-papers\/transparent-language-vs-rosetta-stone.html\">the differences between Rosetta Stone and Transparent Language<\/a>.\u00a0 It should help you better understand what we&#8217;re about, the capabilities of our programs, the instructional methods we use, and how you can succeed as a learner.<\/p>\n<p>Learning about other languages and cultures is so important in today&#8217;s world.\u00a0 It can provide a career advantage, and open the door to countless new friendships.\u00a0 Not only that, but it makes your brain smarter and more agile.\u00a0 Even if you ARE just in it to woo an Italian supermodel, we want you to have the best possible shot at success <em>and<\/em> the best language-learning experience possible.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is, every language learner is different, and no single product alone can satisfy every learner&#8217;s needs.\u00a0 You should research, experiment, and see what works best for you as an individual.\u00a0 We hope our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transparent.com\/white-papers\/transparent-language-vs-rosetta-stone.html\">comparative analysis<\/a> inspires you to explore all your language-learning options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2013\/05\/TL-vs-Rosetta-350x235.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2013\/05\/TL-vs-Rosetta-350x235.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2013\/05\/TL-vs-Rosetta.jpg 565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>It&#8217;s tough being the &#8220;other one&#8221; in the language-learning business, especially when competitors employ a heavy marketing strategy.\u00a0 Rosetta Stone is a household name, and those yellow boxes are everywhere.\u00a0 Many people feel that if they are paying hundreds of dollars for a language solution, well, they must be buying the best solution, right?\u00a0 Maybe&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-item__readmore\"><a class=\"btn btn--md\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/2013\/05\/07\/rosetta-stone-vs-transparent-language\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[545612,544694,520016,543990],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1023","post","type-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-businesses","category-for-educators","category-for-learners","category-for-libraries"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1023"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8263,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023\/revisions\/8263"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/language-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
