⏺ This app is only available for current Rosetta Stone Classic subscribers, and existing enterprise/education users. ⏺ New to Rosetta Stone? Check out Rosetta Stone Sapphire, the brand new Rosetta Stone experience! There, you can explore all of the latest features from the experts in language learning. Learning a language can be an experience that transforms your life. Over 25 years of language learning experience has taught Rosetta Stone one thing: everyone has the ability to learn to read, write, and speak a language with confidence. Try the Rosetta Stone app yourself for free. Many online language learning apps will promise that you can learn a language in just a few minutes a day. However, there is a significant difference between memorizing vocabulary lists and speaking a language with confidence. Learning a language is about more than just the words. One of the mistakes new language learners make is treating language as an object or an end goal instead of as an experience. Ditch the books, translator, and dictionary, and surround yourself with a language whenever, wherever with the Rosetta Stone mobile app. What are people saying about Rosetta Stone: • CNN Underscored - "There’s a good reason why the language learning app Rosetta Stone is the gros chien (that is, the big dog) of the apps we tested" • Mashable - "one of the OG language-learning services, known for its deep dive into accent pronunciation" • Popular Science - "super-smooth and intuitive, and the lessons neither feel too short so as to be forgettable nor too long so as to be a chore" • PC Mag - "reliable, accurate, and thorough" Rosetta Stone has taught millions of people new languages, and you’re next.

Glash is a local-first study planner that helps you understand what is coming next, where you need to be, and what still needs to be done. IMPORT YOUR SCHEDULE Turn an existing timetable into an organized weekly schedule using: • Pasted text • Photos or screenshots • Voice recordings Glash identifies class details and prepares them for review. You remain in control: check every detected class and edit its name, start and end times, weekdays, location, course type, tags, and preparation notes before saving. STAY ORGANIZED With Glash, you can: • See your next class and its location • Browse your complete weekly schedule • Manage study tasks and due dates • Save references to study materials • Create optional local reminders • Follow a Focus Session with a Live Activity • Ask Glash about your schedule and tasks DESIGNED FOR CLARITY Glash presents your schedule in simple, readable views so you can quickly understand your day. Classes with missing or uncertain information can be flagged for review instead of being silently treated as complete. LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY Your classes, tasks, study-material references, preferences, and conversation history are stored locally on your device. Glash does not require an account and does not include built-in real-time email or calendar synchronization. OPTIONAL AI FEATURES Cloud AI features are optional. When you choose to use them, Glash sends your message and the necessary context to the compatible AI service you select and authorize. Private AI Mode removes course and task titles from cloud AI context. Your message is still sent to the selected AI service when you use a cloud AI feature. AI-generated changes are presented as proposals for your confirmation. Glash does not silently add, delete, edit, or complete your classes and tasks. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Glash is a planning tool. It is not a school, educational certification service, medical service, or safety service. Imported information and AI-generated suggestions may contain errors. Always confirm important dates, locations, deadlines, and course details with your educational institution.
