How Live Lessons work

Live Lessons are available at popular times throughout the day, on both the website and the app. Simply look through the schedule for classes in the language you are learning, find a topic that interests you, and join at the time listed. No registration required! While we encourage you to practice speaking on your own, you can also simply listen and learn from the native-speaking tutors while interacting in the chat.

Rosetta Stone success stories

The Live Lessons help me review material with a native speaker. I find them very helpful and a great supplement to the standard Rosetta Stone lessons.

Eliott, Spanish

Fernando is very fun and engaging! The lessons are a great way to practice writing in another language and responding to questions. The facilitator is also able to correct and offer encouragement to the participants.

Elyse, Spanish

I would recommend that everyone in the Rosetta Stone community take Live Lessons. The instructors are excellent and it is one of the great benefits of a Rosetta Stone membership.

Chris, Spanish

I am studying Spanish with Rosetta Stone, and the Live Lessons are a nice interactive addition to the program. They add to the learning, with topics like regional words for sandwiches across Latin America, and practicing with opposite words. The lessons are short, fun, and work for beginners.

Emil, Spanish

The Live Lessons are one of my favorite parts of the platform.

Diana, Spanish

Live Lessons have helped me become more confident in speaking French. It's also a great motivator to study harder!

Live Lessons are a great way to learn a language because you get to practice sentence structure, grammar, and vocabulary with instructors and other students in real-time.

French user

I think the Live Lessons are a great way to practice French because we learn all sorts of different topics about everyday life, and we get to practice typing full sentences and repeating them.

What is the difference between a Live Lesson and a tutoring session?

Live Lessons are available for free with most subscriptions, and have unlimited participants per class. They are great if you are looking to learn more about the culture and reinforce comprehension by listening to a native speaker. Tutoring sessions can be either a private session or a group session, but have a maximum group size of 5-6 learners and involve interaction between the native speaker and participants. Tutoring is perfect when you are looking for a more personalized option to practice conversing and get personalized feedback from an instructor.
