...most crucial question facing the company, however, is quite basic: does Rosetta Stone actually work? The company's teaching method is called "dynamic immersion," in which users are taught a new language through images, text, and sound. There is neither translation nor grammar explanations.

The Harvard Classical Club did more than add verbal allusions to the modern housewife’s strait; the liberties they took with the original text extended to sequined dresses and the incorporation of life-like dildos.
