 Save your money on this oneJun 25, 2007
By Jake
I picked this CD-Rom up at a local Office store - verison 9.5 mostly b/c it was on sale - but I also had a mild interest in learning some spanish and I thought this would be helpful. I decided to give it some dedicated time in which to really use this program - and IMHO - it's nothing more than a glorified dictionary. It has a "FEW" grammer exercises in it and basics like which verbs to use in what situations - but rather than using the computer application to give you a progressive step by step approach to learning spanish it's set up and written more like a spanish / english dictionary. I opened the program 5 or 6 times before I knew where to start - and it makes no sense to me what logic they used in coming up with their brief exercises.
Save your money - this one isn't worth the price of the blank CD it's burned on.

 Pretty usefulJun 25, 2008
By Tyler
When I first picked this up at the store for about 5 dollars or so, I didn't have very high hopes for the content.However, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the intermediate section of the software, and I really have been learning a lot from this program.
The main thing with this program is that you must take the time to learn. I personally take about an hour per lesson after work (if I feel like it) taking time to repeat,listen, and learn.
My favorite part is at the end where you play a type of "Go-Fish" with the words and phrases you've just learned. I must say, if you go through this program the way it is intended, and really want to learn some Spanish, the 5 bucks is worth it. :)

 Great value for entry level Spanish courseMar 29, 2010
By MrBuzz

I bought this product...I'm a beginner at Spanish but have used computer learning software products before. It cost less than $10 locally so to thought I would try it. For a beginner it's a great product and overall a very good value. The graphics aren't very advanced...no fancy animations...but very good solid material that is presented well. Like all computer education products it's best when used as it's intended. When I just flip through it I don't get a lot out of it. But when I sit down and do the lessons correctly it makes sense and I do learn more. One feature I really like is the speech analysis meter...it compares what you say to a native speaker so you can work on your accent and pace...that's very important in most languages, Spanish in particular.
This is an older product but for the money it's a great value
