Lionsberg Rosetta Stone


Rosetta Stone Idea

In 2022, the populations below were estimated by language (temporarily limited to the 36 languages with over 50 million speakers).

Our current idea is to create simple welcome pages in each of these languages, so that anyone hearing of our message has an entry point... through which they can access a free way to learn English... through which they can access pathways for lifelong learning, development, and self-governance in community.
