hey guys welcome back to my channel so
today we are going to be talking about
language learning 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 2000s 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 a language online
so today I'm gonna try rosetta stone
with you guys for the first time today I
looked through their platform a little
bit just to see how organized it was and
it seems very legit so I'm going to be
going through a basic Japanese unit
we're gonna talk about if rosetta stone
is worth purchasing now the one thing
what 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 have 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 and
my Japanese has gotten a lot slower 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
rosetta stone isn't just for Japanese
it's also for other languages so if
you're looking to 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 want to 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 now which is pretty amazing
I'm gonna get right into the video I've
never touched any of this I just looked
at the platform to see what it was like
so we're gonna go through it together so
if you look at the screen here we have a
very colorful look to it this is the
basic level now you can choose your
level as well you can change from
beginner to intermediate to proficient
so it depends on your level so that is a
good that is a plus rosetta stone
because I thought it was just for
beginners but it is not it is for
multiple levels 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 lesson 1 lesson 2 lesson 3 and
lesson 4 so this is the core lesson 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 stories so
play you can play games with other
people so if you click on play it'll go
to this little thing so 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 the cool
thing about the reading is you can
change it so you have you
and katakana and then you have kanji and
foodie gan fod gana is konzi have kanji
here and then at the top you have the
small hiragana so it can help you out
some of you guys may not have gotten to
the writing portion yet so you can
change to romaji and romaji 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 to 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 so we're gonna continue this I
just clicked on it once but I didn't get
through anything so you can click
continue and then it'll take you to a
another page cool so this is like the
yes so pulling me to up okay so you did
it so it'll kind of test you on your
pronunciation and how you say certain
things onna no ko
Oh nano-coat otokonoko okay so here it
says juicer juicer you can hear it you
don't have to be able to read this so
you just listen to what they say so this
is juice ooh this is juicer so look at
the pattern what's up here at the top is
which one is juice that looks the same
as this one so click on it so both jaws
obviously this picture is T so click on
T or jump
music so you couldn't unwatered 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 to 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 so I've been doing
kanji but you can change it to English
if you want to or or romaji so it's
easier for you to read if you don't know
japanese and then at the top you can
actually get a real live teacher so you
can sign up for some language tutoring
if you would like to okay so I just
finished the whole entire first lesson
and obviously if you go to 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 all of this is on the app
as well everything is the same exact
thing so if I click on intermediate I
can go next and here we go so I went
through the beginner part 2 so choose
your plan let's see travel family work
basics and beyond so we'll go basic send
me on intermediate do you plan so this
is so different so we can go right into
week one get started 30 minutes per day
it tells you how much you're going to be
doing start your plan boohoo so we're
gonna change a little bit into the
intermediates
so here we have the core lesson so we'll
go right into it click on lessons start
now we're in intermediate lessons so
this is so cool
I'm gonna change this to kanji so cut a
walk hide theme us so we're where is it
kind of July you'll name us so it will
just kind of go brief you will go back
to learning so this is so cool so you
can go to the intermediate level and you
can skip the weeks it'll give you how
much you should be studying each day
five days per week six weeks total is
what you're gonna be accomplishing so
you can go to advance you can do the
same exact thing if it's too easy I
would go up to advanced but the fact
that they have different levels is
pretty awesome so it could be for
anybody highly recommend if you're
starting out learning Japanese you're
just learning from home where you're
learning it for a specific purpose or
you're coming to Japan just a travel
like just learn the basic Japanese level
so rosetta stone has like everything in
one very interactive they have a way
where you can learn with a person so
practice with a live tutor and speak
with confidence so this is so crucial
I'm really impressed I went through the
whole first basic lesson and I was just
really enjoying it and it was so
interactive and fun and easy to get
through it tells you how much time it's
gonna take for each section which is so
cool because you can schedule your
lessons and self learn that way and
highly recommend so I'm probably gonna
use this for intermediate or advanced
level just to kind of brush up on my
Japanese but I love how it is
voice-activated so it's perfect for
speaking which is something that a lot
of language apps and programs do not
have so out of all the language
companies that I promoted I think
rosetta stone is my favorite so I'm
going to get to my offer rosetta stone
