Through October 26, we have access to a trial for Rosetta Stone. Offered via the EBSCOhost platform, Rosetta Stone offers online instruction in 30 different languages. Access should work off campus as well. Here’s how get started:
- Go to the Trials tab on the main databases page and select “Rosetta Stone”
- If you are off campus, you’ll see our usual Baruch login; if you’re on campus, you’ll go straight to a Rosetta Stone/EBSCO login page.
- On the Rosetta Stone/EBSCO page, you’ll want to register as a first-time user. Enter your Baruch email address and select a password that has at least 6 letters and 1 number. Then select the language you want to try out.
Rosetta Stone works with your mic on your laptop, headset, etc. so you can learn to speak as well as read. You can do lessons without the mic, though, if you’re only interested in learning to read a language. One important thing to be aware of: once you’ve logged into Rosetta Stone, you can switch from one language to another. Instead, you have to log out entirely and when you’re back at the login screen, select a different language at that point.
Please share this trial with any faculty who might be interested and encourage them to provide feedback via the form on the Trials tab of our database page.
