Rosetta Stone Releases Pig Latin App for iPhone 5s

The buzz around Apple’s new iPhone 5s just got louder. Rosetta Stone®, the world’s leading, computer-based, language-instruction company, announced the release of its new Pig Latin App in time for the iPhone launch on Friday.

The app, which provides full access to Rosetta Stone®’s ten-volume Pig Latin instructional set, has been redesigned for business persons, government employees, fugitives, and tourists who plan to spend time in any country where Pig Latin is not the dominant language.

In additional to providing instruction in conversational, academic, and technical Pig Latin, the Rosetta Stone Pig Latin app also comes equipped with a GPS function that allows users to locate and converse with anyone connected to the Pig Latin app in a ten-mile radius.

The thirty-fourth language available through Rosetta Stone®, Pig Latin is based on the company’s total-immersion approach to language acquisition. This patented technique rejects old-fashioned methods that waste time on elements such as verb tenses and noun-adjective agreement, which actually interfere with learning a language. Consequently Rosetta Stone® users can learn Pig Latin with no more effort than they would expend shopping for books in the Kindle store.

According to Tim Stone®, CEO and co-founder of Rosetta Stone®, beta testers were impressed with the Pig Latin package. Gordon M. from Toronto wrote: “My wife and I went to Belize for a sales conference recently, and we were able to converse fluently in Pig Latin when we didn’t want people to know what we were saying.”
