3.0 out of 5 stars Not beginner material, January 27, 2002

By 

Mads Krog-Jensen (Herning, Jylland Denmark) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Instant Immersion Italian Pro 7 CD Platinum (CD-ROM)

I was very excited about this software since I come to Italy alot, and I am starting in a class this summer.

However after using the program for several hours, I found that it is not near beginner level. It has many good features, but I could not find some REALLY basic in the software.

I think this software is a blast after taking a crash course in Italien, and will look forward to that, but do not expect to speak Italien after playing around with this software if you have no experience with the language what so ever.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where to go?, March 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant Immersion Italian Pro 7 CD Platinum (CD-ROM)

This software is confusing. For beginners it is difficult to know which direction to go in, as there are many. Clicking on the introduction icon resulted in continuous recording without an exit except the escape key. Also, although the speech was in English, the examples were in French. It was very hard for us to understand the concept of how to use the software, without regard to the language. Our experience with the Learning Company on language is much more straight forward and easier to comprehend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible beyond parole, September 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant Immersion Italian Pro 7 CD Platinum (CD-ROM)

Italian Pro should be entitled Italian amateur. It is gimmicky and useless whether you already know Italian and want to brush up on it or are new. It is all bells and whistles and no substance.
