My husband and I bought this item in hopes of being able to understand some of the locals in Mexico (we go there quite often). So far, we absolutely love this program! We've both learned more in one weekend of using the program than in the months we spent trying another program. I am currently on the second disc (out of 5) and he is nearing the end of disc one. We've also looked at disc 4 (the picture dictionary...a great disc!). We also downloaded the Spanish-English Dictionary bonus disc. I would buy this item again in a heartbeat!

Excellent in presentation, the only disappointment is that it is teaching the "th" sound that you find in Spain, not in Mexico, but all in all an excellent product.

This set is fine if you only want to learn Spanish in the Castillian accent. Castillian is a rare accent that you will encounter in certain areas of Spain. No Latin American countries use Castillian! You'd be better off with a different set of software if you truly want to learn the Spanish that most native speakers use.

At this price, I have never seen a program that gives so much for so little out of pocket. For the price, you will not find as much great material presented in such a wonderful and engaging format.

First, this is not one program...it is 5 complete learning programs in one set.

The first program "Talk Now" covers basic vocabulary. While the material is basic, yet good, the graphics are not that great. However, the program is logical and the material covered is necessary.

The next programs, "World Talk" and " Talk to me" build on each other and the material covered grows more complex. You have the opportunity to record your own voice and to interact with the programs.

The "Interactive Picture Dictionary" provides another way to learn vocabulary, which will be especially helpful for travelers.

Finally, "Who is Oscar Lake" is a fun advanced and interactive way to learn Spanish in a video game format. While it is not as flashy as video games on any of the popular game boxes, it provides a way to learn that is fresh and fun.

Highly recommended for beginners and more advanced learners. If you are a just starting out, this set will provide a year or more worth of lessons.

This order arrived timely and was exactly what was advertised... now I just need to dedicate time to going through the program.

This product was a bit disappointing. It is difficult to navigate and the instructions (or lack thereof) was a big disappointment for me. Would not do this again.

I have never learned Spanish before, so right now this has benn a great learning tool. Hard to compare with others since this is the first. But just like anything else, if we want to get better we must practice, practice, practice!

It is true that the graphics are off from the sound but you learn great amounts so who cares. I reccomend this to everyone.

This is BAD! It was so bad, I returned it. The virtual people look cheap, like cardboard, and they keep repeating the same word until you just want to scream! Trust me, I'm not just saying this to be mean, it's the truth. If you don't believe me, just buy it, and then you'll see.
