1.0 out of 5 stars very misleading, September 8, 2009

By 

Walt Willis "Walt" (LA, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Instant Immersion Japanese Levels 1,2&3 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

do not be mislead by the pretty box. This Japanese learning set comes out like a hastily put together package of CD's that in some cases contain the exact same information from CD to CD but in a different format and in another cases leaves you with bits and pieces of information that you have to try and sort out yourself. There are no seamless transitions from CD to CD and no common format to follow. Each CD could very well be from different Japanese learning programs. One of the advanced CD's assumes that you know more than you can possibly have learned regardless of whether or not you mastered ALL of the material before that point and basically that CD (as well as others) become pretty much useless. With that said...I found the first CD pretty useful for building up your vocabulary on everyday words.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mac problems and not comparable to RS, April 10, 2010

I have used Rosetta Stone and this product. I agree that neither are quite what they promise, which is an EASY way to learn a language. For someone to compare this favorably to RS is highly suspicious to me. After multiple failed attempts to get this product to work on my Mac, I went to a PC laptop to actually check it out. This product compares to Rosetta Stone in the way that a fast food hamburger compares to a well-prepared steak. This is really nothing more than a mildly-interactive vocabulary list. Perhaps that's worth the money, but don't confuse it with the advanced learning procedures from Rosetta Stone. My problem with RS is that they do not show you enough direct translation vocabulary. So in that sense, this would be a nice complement to RS. The audio CD's included in this are actual lessons, thus not really helpful for drilling and memorizing. It's really not comparable to RS at all, and any comparison is incredibly unfair. They should take those claims off of their packaging. I'll be demanding a refund for the Mac incompatibility, but otherwise would make use of the money back guarantee. Save yourself the hassle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay for vocab, nothing else, September 24, 2009

I regret purchasing this product. There is no sort of structured lessons in this program. You start the program, and you choose what catagory of vocab you want to learn (ie, numbers, body parts, days of the week, etc). There is not sort of grammar whatsoever. The production value of the software is very low. They fit the whole thing on 2 cds. I don't recommend this product at all.
