coptic language and the Rossetta stone software

peter mikhail

Hi all

i was looking at the software the Rosetta Stone to teach various languages.

http://www2.rosettastone.com/en

they have a various interesting programs to develop software for endagered languages

http://www2.rosettastone.com/en/endangered-languages



this software is phenomenol and quite a leading product because of its principal to teach a language with immersion.

I a posting this message hoping it would spark the interest of someone with authority in our church to contact this company to develop a program for the coptic language it would truly be revolutionary to teach coptic in our churches and communities.

may be one of our blessed bishops or fathers with a love for the coptic language could bring this to the attention of His Holiness.

best regards
Peter Mikhail

This is indeed a very good idea and would benefit many people. In turn, this can ultimately keep the Coptic language alive. Maybe one of the administrators can help bring this subject to one of the Church Fathers or Bishops. I really hope that something like this can be devoloped and distributed.
