TL;DR: It’s only $148.97 (reg. $399) to get a Rosetta Stone lifetime subscription right now.

In a few months, I’ll be walking through Rome, eating gelato near the Trevi Fountain, and hopefully not sounding completely clueless when I order espresso. I’ve always wanted to learn Italian, but never knew where to start. So when I saw that Rosetta Stone was offering lifetime access for $148.97 (regularly $399) with code FLUENT, I decided this was the moment to go for it.
Using Rosetta Stone to learn Italian
I expected flashcards or grammar drills, but Rosetta Stone threw me straight into matching words with images and repeating phrases out loud. It’s surprisingly natural. Instead of memorizing rules, I’m hearing and speaking real Italian from the start. The app uses a speech-recognition tool that checks my pronunciation, which makes me feel more confident saying things out loud.
It’s honestly kind of fun. I’m picking up greetings, simple questions, and how to say everyday things like “Where is the train station?” and “I would like a coffee.” I never thought I’d enjoy language learning this much, but here we are.
Right now, I’m practicing daily for 10 to 15 minutes. It’s manageable, and it feels like I’m making steady progress. I’m definitely not fluent, but I’m getting to a point where I can handle myself in a conversation — or at least not panic in an Italian café.
I’m also eyeing other languages in the app. A single purchase gives you access to 25 languages, so once I’ve had my Italian adventure, maybe I’ll start French next.
If you have travel plans coming up, it’s worth it to be prepared.
