The Rosetta Stone live tutoring and group coaching sessions let you practice with expert language coaches. Rosetta Stone LiveĪ newer feature offered by Rosetta Stone is live tutoring. Using an app like Drops or Skritter along with Rosetta Stone can help you with this though. Rosetta Stone doesn’t teach you to write these languages or read them at all in its course either, which was a bit of a disappointment. One aspect of Stories I didn’t like was that they use the Latin alphabet for languages that have non-Latin writing systems (like Mandarin Chinese and Japanese). The stories start really simple and become more complex as you work through your course. I really liked using this feature because reading to yourself and aloud is one of the best ways to improve your fluency. It has short stories in your target language that you can read, listen to, and even record yourself reading. The Stories feature is probably the most useful feature in the app.

A much better app for quickly learning words and phrases is MosaLingua.

I think the other features are much more helpful for learning vocabulary and practicing it. It’s helpful for reviewing vocabulary and practicing your pronunciation but it’s honestly pretty limited.
