Features "real-world" conversation simulations, speech recognition, and record/playback! Amazon.com Review: Spanish is quite an easy language in which to communicate at a basic level, but its complex grammar makes it surprisingly hard to speak correctly. However, this quality is well worth trying to overcome, because it is the gateway to getting by in a whole continent--Latin America. This advanced course provides a sensible path to speaking good Spanish. It comes with precise details of grammar and vocabulary, but also allows you to tailor the course to your own needs. Possessing some of the most recent developments in software technology, the course really does allow you to practice speaking and listening to conversations as if you were in Spain. This is absolutely essential: the harsh accent of Castilian Spanish can be a shock to those who have only read through examples on the page. The course focuses on the essentials of communication, but also includes voice recognition and playback, so that you can hone your speech, and comes with a full dictionary, course book, and personalized plan. It is designed so that you can study at your own pace, focusing on the words and situations about which you wish to learn most. These interactive features produce a program that is at once personal and comprehensive, and makes a decent standard of Spanish well within reach. However, people intending the course for use in Latin America should note that the accents are Castilian, and thus very different to what they will find in the Americas. --Toby Green Amazon.com Product Description: Four complete courses cover 100 exercises, including pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. Other features include the Pre-Assessment Test, Customized Study Plan, Subject-Specific Study Topics, Progress Tracking, Interactive Lessons, Language Study Group, and Personal Tutor. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Oldie But GoodieThis stuff is a bit outdated, but I have no trouble using it with Windows XP. Suffice it to say that this software is actually quite good, especially now that it's so cheap. There are a lot of listening activities, vocab, etc. In fact, it's oddly similar to the newer Transparent Language products... hmm. Anyway, give this program a try - it's a great buy and a lot of fun. Also, look for the Practice Makes Perfect vocabulary software - they sell it on eBay for <$10 and ... Read More |
