Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors at EBSCO Information Services, in partnership with Rosetta Stone Inc., patrons of the Ipswich Public Library can now enhance their language learning goals with access to the Rosetta Stone Library Solution. Whether patrons are looking to learn a new language, further their ESL learning as non-native English speakers, or brush up on a language for business or vacation travel, Rosetta Stone Library Solution offers the proven immersion method that more than 22,000 schools and 12,000 businesses have trusted for more than 20 years. It includes 30 languages to meet a range of cultural interests. Learning is structured around core lessons to build reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills and also includes focused activities to refine grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and more. Patrons can also take advantage of available mobile apps that enable learners to reinforce their language learning wherever they may be. To start using Rosetta Stone, follow this link.
