This review is from: 101 Languages Of The World (CD-ROM)

You get a lot for your money. The nice thing is that you can read and listen to the languages at the same time. I used the French section the most which has 12 basic lessons. The material is reasonably challenging for a good introduction. Each lesson has key sentences, a number of dialogs, and an informative piece of text aimed at tourists, usually several paragraphs. I have actually spent more time with this product for learning French than any other because of the pronunciation help.

Don't count on actually having 101 languages, though. The Latin is just a list of aphorisms. Some languages are not covered as well as others. There are also a lot of bells and whistles, such as pronunciation practice, which don't seem to work very well. The languages you probably want to look at all seem to be on different CDs. The software crashes occasionally. Oh well. I may have an older version, but I'm generally happy with it.
