3. Background
The lesson standards at Rosetta Stone Learning Center were developed and
decided on by teachers rather than management. They have had some
adjustments in definition, but the core ideas have remained unchanged over the
years.
If everything is not 100% clear at first, that is okay. You will learn and see more in
upcoming training modules and be able to ask your trainer questions.
Let’s jump in--
