Rosetta Stone brings language learning to the Xbox One

   

Ever wanted to learn a language on your Xbox? Well, now may be your chance, as the popular language learning tool Rosetta Stone has just announced an app for the Xbox One.

Available with English and Spanish options, the app will allow players to explore different virtual locations where they can practice speaking with characters in their chosen language and play various games. From Rosetta Stone:

"You'll explore several locations in the Discovery Zone and chat with the characters you find there. In the Training Zone, you'll solidify the concepts you encountered with study recommendations, cultural tips, phrase books, and of course, more games! Keep track of your achievements, and keep practicing until you get a perfect score. With Rosetta Stone's proven technology-based immersion method in a video-game interface, who knew language learning could be so fun?"

Overall, this looks like a fun way to take on the challenge of learning a new language by bringing the fun of gaming to an often difficult process. If you'd like to check it out. As of this writing, it doesn't look like the Xbox app page has been updated with the listing, but you should be able to grab the app and check it out from the dashboard on your Xbox One.

What do you guys think? Do you plan on brushing up on a little Spanish on your Xbox One?

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

This can really change up the trash talking in CoD. Can just change languages and keep on ranting then say 'Do you even Rosetta Stone bruh?' I like it.



MUCHO, GRANDE MEGATON!

Bring on Japanese or Russian and I'm in.



Wow, that's neat. It really should be an app like this in all consoles, very useful.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Update! I have to say I tried it last night. It's some point and click, with some little games. One makes you listen very closely and fill out a bingo card. It seems like good challenge to make you ear listen for the words. I never used Rosetta Stone before, but I hear it's great.

I was very pleasantly surprised, and I don't really want to learn that much more Spanish (Rather learn French.) Seem like a good beginning, then I guess you buy higher levels (otherwise how will Rosetta make any money?)

Anyway, I was very impressed!
