It would certainly be a hit with students. I think the market for an Ancient Greek Rosetta Stone could potentially be huge. So, if you’re part of the Chitimacha tribe (why did I just get a craving for chimichangas?) you can adapt the software, by “filling in the blanks” of the template with your own language, and thus use it to save your tribal tongue from extinction.

In fact, it’s such an easy template that Rosetta Stone lets people groups with endangered languages customize the software for their native tongue as part of their Endangered Language Program. So whether you’re learning Japanese, German, or French, you’ll start with words for table, boy, girl, man, woman, eat, drink, etc. Here’s why: (as far as I know) every language in Rosetta Stone uses basically the same picture sets ( see here for the details). Now, just imagine how easy it would be for Rosetta Stone to create a program for ancient Greek. Each level (some languages have up to five levels) provides about 24hrs of training, so you could easily complete a level per month, and by the time you finished 5 levels, you would have about 100hrs of immersion-style exposure to the language. Of course, the great thing about learning with software is that any affective filter (or “fear factor”) is nonexistent, since you learn at your own pace, in the privacy of your own home. Now, you can even have a live online session with a native speaker. With each new version, Rosetta Stone has introduced new elements, such as workbooks, special grammar modules, and online social gaming. In others, speech-recognition technology lets students respond orally and hone their pronunciation. In some exercises, students can type their answers into the program.
The program teaches all four language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) through lessons and exercises that use pictures, text, and audio.
