This review is from: Easy Language 61 (CD-ROM)

I had a previous version of Easy Language, with only four languages on it. Unfortunately, the software and Windows XP don't get along, so I ordered the newest edition of Easy Language. I was looking forward to the same level of quality. Boy, was I wrong. Sure, there's 61 languages. And the sound quality is so bad, you can't understand a word that's being said. For all I know, they're only using one language, and I just can't tell the difference. Graphics- poor. Ease of use- poor. No nice little tutorial to show you how to use the CD. No Pip. Appearence- elementary. The wallpaper reminds me of when I first tried to teach myself HTML. Big disappointment. I recommend- DO NOT BUY.

2.0 out of 5 stars it does not work, March 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Easy Language 61 (CD-ROM)

The quality of this '61 language' CD is pathetic.
There is very little information per language and there
is no way you will learn anything from this.

This is the product I have been looking for. Only a couple of places on the internet that offer this type of language learning. This is the study materials to go along with a course. The basic premise is 61 languages have 2000+ words and 450+ phrases that are correlated with any other language. This means it is possible to learn any language from any other. There are only 15 possible source languages(English(U.S. & British), French, German, Spanish(latin & Europe), Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Dutch, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Zulu.)
Other languages with Audio are(Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Greek, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Polish, Romanian, Tagalog, Thai)
Languages without audio(Albanian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Esperanto, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, Flemish, Haitian, Hindi, Icelandic, Irish, Kurdish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Navajo, Norwegian, Portuguese(Brazil), Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Yiddish)
I suggest playlists with 1 or 2 language lists to hear as a lesson(like the usual audio cds in other language courses). That is a word/phrase and optional translation in the other language.
The word/phrase lists are incomplete-not all audio words/phrases are accessible.
The personal tutor has incorrect audio/translations sometimes.
We would do well to have more correlated vocabulary/phrases from other competitors. I originally had a 26 language simultaneous translation dictionary 25 years ago and did the same thing without audio. It is too bad we can't understand the benefits of such a resource.
Works great with Windows Vista.
