If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new language, now is the perfect time. Rosetta Stone is working with the School District of Pickens County and its Adult Learning Center to offer adults in our community and SDPC employees a web-based language learning resource at a reduced cost. Rosetta Stone is the top-selling language learning software across the world. For more than fifteen years, learners have used Rosetta Stone to discover new languages naturally and easily, just like they learned their first language.
Through the district’s partnership with Rosetta Stone, you can purchase a subscription to one of twenty-five languages. You will need a high-speed Internet connection and a USB headset with microphone.
For a limited time, special introductory rates for a six-month subscription are available: $75 for adults in our community and $50 for SDPC employees. To purchase your subscription at the special introductory rate, complete the Rosetta Stone Registration form. Mail or drop the form and your fee by the SDPC Adult Learning Center at 106 Glazner Street, Easley, SC 29640. You will receive an email with instructions for accessing your subscription.
