Community Business College announced today that it has added the following languages to its offering of distance-learning approved language classes:  Tagalog (Filipino), Latin, Turkish and Vietnamese. All four are now available in Levels 1, 2, and 3 of Rosetta Stone through Community Business College’s online classroom. Users will be able to learn these new languages at their fingertips the same way they learned their first language – with no translation and no tedious rote memorization required.

The school is also implementing the award-winning Rosetta Stone® Version 3 language learning solutions with the addition of Levels 4 and 5 in French, Italian, German and Spanish (Spain). These new levels include extended and more complex interactions in conversations and grammar, expanded vocabulary, and additional opportunities for speaking that prepare learners for everyday interactions in their language of study. These levels will be available to both vocational and avocation who are: students looking to increase job opportunities available to them; ESL learners; or other people interested in building language skills.

Community Business College has added Rosetta Stone Classroom to its programs. The program gives students access to multiple languages including Spanish, French, Arabic and German. Job seekers can improve their employability prospects and gain valuable new skills.

The Rosetta Stone program allows students to access the module from any computer with Internet access and a server that allows students to pick up from where they left off on their previous lessons. Rosetta Stone is known for its commercials featuring Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps describing how the software taught him to learn to speak Chinese for the 2008 Olympics.

Community Business College has been informed that students who are receiving California Unemployment Insurance (U.I.) Benefits  checks will continue to receive those benefits through July. This is in response to concerns that U.I. benefits recipients might be included in those who will start receiving “registered warrants” or, what are commonly referred to as “IOUs,” after July 1, 2009, while the state legislature and governor resolve $24 billion in outstanding budget issues.  This is possible because, “Individuals receiving unemployment or disability payments will not receive registered warrants from the State. Those payments are made by the Employment Development Department, and are paid out of special funds, not the State’s depleted General Fund.”
