I Cut Down My Screentime By Learning A New Language

Lately, I've noticed how much I'm picking up my phone with zero purpose. Out of curiosity, I looked into my average screen time for the week and my jaw dropped. It was embarrassing.

Thankfully it wasn't just me, a few of my friends were saying that they find themselves on their phones a lot more these days too. That still didn't make my 5hrs 25 mins spent with my head hunched over my phone okay in any way!

The mindless scrolling on useless apps needed to be cut down. No phone until after breakfast and at least two hours before bedtime.

Another more fun idea (which I'm stealing off my friend Sam) is signing up for Rosetta Stone, a language learning app. I can't help picking up my phone throughout the day (out of sheer boredom) so this way I can make my screen time beneficial and learn a few new Italian phrases.

Sam is loving Rosetta Stone, I on the other hand had zero expectations. It could be a fun new hobby to learn French without having to take actual classes or deal with the pressure of vocab quizzes. Plus I won't feel guilty being on my phone when I'm on Rosetta Stone.

Signing up was easy and the classes are only 15-30 minutes per day and you can download them to do anytime, wherever you are. After a few days I really got into it. The lessons are actually fun and they build upon each other, making them interesting and keeps you coming back. I really wasn't expecting advanced features like TruAccent® and Phrasebook but they're extremely helpful for grasping a new language.

A month after downloading Rosetta Stone, not only have I managed to spend less time scrolling on my phone but I can now hold a basic conversation in Italian. I can't believe how many phrases, sentences, and Italian words I now know. Rosetta Stone made it so easy to learn a new language while showing me how to use my screen time in a constructive and beneficial way.

If this is how much I can learn in only 4 weeks, I'm excited to see where my Italian skills will be in another month.

Here are a few more reasons why I'll be keeping the Rosetta Stone app;

It's convenient, you can use it any time, anywhere, whenever it suits you

Lessons are only bite size 5-10 mins, which makes it easier for your brain to absorb the material

The TruAccent® feature helps you perfect your pronunciation- it shows you exactly how accurate you are and how to improve

The Phrasebook is super helpful by telling you out loud how to say short, useful expressions

The Seek & Speak feature makes it fun with scavenger hunt-like activities

When you sign up for Rosetta Stone's annual plan, you get access to all 25 of their languages

It's Affordable, an annual subscription is only $7.99 a month

UPDATE: The folks at Rosetta Stone are extending a special offer to our readers only: Up To 45% Off Rosetta Stone + Unlimited Languages!

5 Things You Need To Know About Muzzy

And why the BBC program works best for kids.

Having three children under the age of ten isn't easy. Trying to keep them occupied during all their school holidays is tough; something us, Moms, regularly discuss. And that's how I heard about Muzzy.

What's Muzzy? Turns out it's a language learning cartoon for kids created by language experts at the BBC. You can choose from a variety of languages and even choose to get it online or in DVD format. It all sounded great and my husband and I loved the idea of our kids getting to learn a new language but I didn't know if it would suit my kids.

They are very active and energetic kids so, it can be hard for them to focus and I also didn't want to increase their screen time anymore.

But with the thought of the next school holidays looming, I ordered Muzzy to see if it would help and I thought I could just make this their screen time and at least it will be beneficial to their growth and learning.

Muzzy surprised me, here are 5 reasons why:

The biggest shock was that my kids actually enjoyed Muzzy. They even ask for it over their regular cartoons. It's the ultimate guilt-free screen time -- definitely has the seal of approval from my three!

There's a 30-Day No Questions Asked Money-Back Guarantee in case my kids weren't fans.

It's affordable. For under $5 a month, it's an amazing value! Think of how much a tutor would cost.

Since getting Muzzy I learned about the window of opportunity. The way our brains develop means that the younger we are, the easier it is to learn new languages.

The whole family can enjoy it together. We love how all the kids watch it together and then speak it to each other, helping them to bond.

3 Reasons Why Knowing A Second Language Can Change Your Life

Learning a new language is at the top of nearly everyone's bucket list. A second language improves critical thinking skills, opens the mind, and can come in handy in any spy movie. However, it can be a daunting task. Since 1992, Rosetta Stone has been breaking down language division by becoming the leading educational tool for language learning. Now, they've been able to transfer their efficient system to an app that's more convenient than ever. The app has an exclusive set of fun features that are designed to help stimulate every part of the brain to begin navigating real-life conversations in a new language.

Here are three ways that knowing even a little bit of a second language can make a huge impact.

When you're adventuring all over….

Backpacking in South America just got easier with a graspable knowledge of Spanish. The sweat, the heat, and the trek will all become a little more manageable when you can start breaking down those language barriers and get clear directions from locals. With the Seek & Speak feature, you can take photos of everyday objects like fruits, in scavenger-hunt style challenges, so you can speak the language more and awkwardly gesture less.

If part of the reason you're hiking in Peru is to get a break from your phone, you don't even need to look at it with Rosetta Stone's Audio Companion® lessons. You can listen to bite-size lessons without reading or swiping, just like enjoying music or a podcast. And since every unit is available without wifi, you won't need service at the top of the Andes to know you're correctly pronouncing "thank you" to the tour guide who brought you to the top of the Andes.

When you need a leg up at work…

Flying out to Germany to finally meet your biggest client? Study on the plane with Rosetta Stone, so you can work a room even better than those meatball hors d'oeuvres. To avoid making an international faux pas that your coworkers will never let you forget, TruAccent allows you to instantly compare your voice to native and non-native speakers, so you get real-time feedback to master pronunciation. With their patented AI-driven speech recognition technology, you're scored on 0-100 for every pronunciation, so you can easily track your progress.

When you want to bond with family…

Taking an ancestry test to discover you have long-lost relatives in Italy, one of the most beautiful countries in the world...that's the dream. Bonding with Great Aunt Lydia can happen more quickly when Rosetta Stone provides phrases that you'll actually use. With the Phrasebook, you'll be adding phrases to your vocabulary that will actually come up on your trip, so you can chime in to cousin Matteo's harrowing sailing story.

Rosetta Stone offers a simple way to invite new words and phrases into your vocabulary, so you can find where the chic locals shop in France or order your ramen extra spicy in Japan. Rosetta Stone will give you the confidence and tools you need to travel to a new country, even alone, and communicate in a native tongue
