A Lifetime Subscription to Rosetta Stone Is on Sale at a Huge Discount Right Now

If you’ve ever thought about practicing a new language, then put it off because an owl got too passive-aggressive, this Rosetta Stone deal might be more your speed. StackSocial is offering a lifetime subscription to Rosetta Stone for $179.99 right now, down from its usual $399. That’s a pretty deep cut for anyone curious about dipping into Spanish, French, Korean, or even something less commonly studied, like Irish or Farsi. You can access 25 languages in total, though you can only use one at a time. You can switch between them anytime, making it great for folks who want to experiment or refresh old skills.

Rosetta Stone’s immersion-based method doesn’t rely heavily on translations—instead, it teaches you by matching words to images and sounds, mimicking how you’d naturally pick up a language. As you go along, it builds up to interactive lessons that use speech-recognition tech to help with pronunciation and speaking skills. Additionally, its mobile and desktop syncing capability means you can start a lesson on your laptop and continue on your phone during your commute. Just note that you’ll need a decent internet connection (at least 768Kbps), a headset with a mic if you want to use the speech recognition tools, and either a Windows 7+ or macOS 10.9+ device to get started. It’s not compatible with older systems, and the sale is only for new users, so returning Rosetta Stone learners won’t be able to cash in.
