Just in time for the holiday season, Rosetta Stone has today launched a new iPad app. The leading provider of technology-based language-learning solutions has introduced the new app to bring the live, online tutorial features of Rosetta Stone TOTALe Studio HD to the iPad 2 and the newest iPad. The app is designed to supplement the core Rosetta Stone software, providing a platform for users to engage in both content and conversation, with up to four learners using the app to sharpen their language skills via live, 50-minute sessions led by native-speaking tutors in a fun interactive environment. The tutors can use the personal interface to directly help participants overcome any barriers that they may experience.

“TOTALe Studio HD is an extraordinary new development in language learning, and we’re proud to make it fully available to iPad users,” said Christopher Spiller, Vice President of Product Development at Rosetta Stone. “Subscribers can now converse with real, native coaches whenever they want and wherever they are. Accessing Studio HD is a terrific way to build confidence and accelerate the language-learning process.”

Here are some of the app’s main features courtesy of Rosetta Stone:

• Rosetta Course® The award-winning self-study software, complete with proprietary speech-recognition technology, enables students to learn to speak, understand, read and write—all without translation or rote memorization.
• Rosetta Studio® Studio Coaches who are native speakers of the new language converse with students directly and facilitate live, interactive conversations in an online environment with other students at the same level.
• Rosetta World®. Students practice their new language online using interactive games and stories that are designed for their learning level. These activities build confidence, increase interest and add valuable reinforcement to language learned in Rosetta Course lessons.
• TOTALe Course™ HD, TOTALe Studio™ HD, TOTALe Companion™ and Audio Companion®. Students can continue building their language skills with innovative mobile applications built for iPad®, iPhone®, iPod touch® and select Android™ devices, or they can review on the go with Audio Companion for MP3 players.
