CEO Tom Adams Believes American Troops Can Better Serve and Connect Through Languages

ARLINGTON, Va. (August 7, 2008) – CEO Tom Adams of Rosetta Stone Inc., the leading provider of language-learning software, announced to a room full of Congressional leaders the need and importance for American troops and government officials to learn additional languages.

"By equipping our military and civilian officials with the opportunity to speak another language a huge barrier is broken down," said Adams. "The ability to connect with foreign diplomats and civilians can not only help save lives but also can assist in important decision-making moments on and off the battlefield."

"Rosetta Stone is ideally equipped to prepare both the broad array of government agencies and congressional offices to communicate effectively across the diversity of languages found throughout the United States and abroad," he added.

Since 2005, Rosetta Stone has provided the U.S. Army with software solutions to better serve pre-deployment and in-theatre language training needs.

Currently, more than 1.4 million Army soldiers and civilian personnel have access to the Rosetta Stone self-paced training content for more than 30 languages, including military-specific Arabic. The unique software is also used by the Department of Homeland Security.

Adams himself demonstrated Version 3 to Reps. Nick Rahall, D-W.V., Alan B. Mollohan, D-W.V., Dale Kildee, D-Mich., and Bob Filner, D-Calif., showing how the new software is interactive and user-friendly.

"Our products make learning a new language second nature. They imitate the same processes and experiences each of us goes through as children when we learn our first language," said Adams. "By eliminating translation, users are instantly engaged, therefore able to learn quickly and effectively."
