The Rosetta Stone language learning program seeks to teach language "using a natural method that teaches new language directly, without translation." The units and lessons for the Rosetta Stone program are saved as .rsd files and encrypted -- they can only be opened and used with the program. When using the program, the files are opened easily using Rosetta Stone's simple interface.
