Far too often, we humans expect our dogs to understand what we say to them. Though we may spend a lot of time talking to them, we’re really not communicating. And without proper communication, it’s impossible to train a dog properly–– let alone make your human/canine relationship a rewarding one.
Packed with unique insights and gentle training advice, The Rosetta Bone provides average dog owners with the know-how they need to decipher canine meanings, communicate effectively, increase training success, and share a deeper bond.
Rosetta Stone is language-learning software produced by Rosetta Stone, Ltd. Its title is an allusion to the Rosetta Stone, an artifact inscribed in multiple languages that helped researchers to decipher Ancient Egyptian by comparing it to the Greek inscription.
The Rosetta Stone software utilizes a combination of images, text, and sound, with difficulty levels increasing as the student progresses, in order to teach various vocabulary terms and grammatical functions intuitively, without drills or translation. Their award-winning method is called the Dynamic Immersion method. The goal is to teach languages the way first languages are learnt.
Escape the endless tedium of translation, memorisation and grammar drills. Get the language you want, the skills you need and the success you deserve by learning a new language naturally - the same way you learned your first language.
This the portable aplication for the most famous language learning software.(No installation required)

Discovered in 1779, the Rosetta Stone is one of the most famous monuments to have survived from Ancient Egypt. Its bilingual inscription in three different scripts provided the key that enabled scholars, and in particular the Frenchman Jean-Francois Champollion, to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs for the first time. This illustrated booklet tells the story of the stone from its discovery and arrival in the British Museum to its eventual decipherment. It also includes a full translation of the inscription.

The Rosetta Stone of the Human Mind: Three languages to integrate neurobiology and psychology The study of the brain-mind complex has been hampered by the dichotomy between objective biological neuroscience and subjective psychological science, based on speculative topographic models and psychodynamics formulations. The two antithetical avenues of research, premises, and dynamic hypotheses, have evolved in a polarization of neuroscience. This is partly responsible for the failure to unravel the transformation of neural events into mental images: how matter becomes imagination, and vice versa. The Rosetta Stone to the Human Mind: Three Languages to Integrate Neurobiology and Psychology illustrates how the simultaneous use of these two approaches enriches the understanding of the neural and mental realms, and adds new dimensions to our perception of neuropsychological events; how the two different scientific metaphors are similar in what they describe; and how the awareness and application of these perspectives are helpful in getting a deeper theoretical grasp on major mental events, better understanding single minds, and formulating a more integrated therapeutic intervention.
