I bought this software on the recommendation of some software review site, and I must say my 9 year old daughter and I were disappointed. The graphics are sometimes hard to make out on the screen. (The animation altogether isn't very appealing at all, but that's not why I bought it . . . )And my daughter kept repeating, "But I want to learn sentences!" It's just an okay introduction if you want to learn the names of fruits and vegetables.

The idea and format aren't bad. I would have liked it if there had been a few more words to learn. Also, instead of learning animal names, which aren't very useful if you don't live on a farm, they should have included some simple sentences. A little more material or a little lower price would have increased my rating to 4 stars.

this softeware is great fun and learning. My 5 year old niece spends a half hour at a time or more on this program that I bought for my own children. I am now buying her her own copy.

My review makes reference to the French language section ( I have not used the other ones)

I have a 7 year old, who enjoys this software a lot. I love that the sound quality is very good, and the pronuncioation is perfect. There is plenty of vocabulary to practice. I think this is a really good complement to any language program.

I believe that both,beginners and more advanced students 6-10 would enjoy and benefit from it.

Featured vocabulary: numbers, colors, animals, days, months, weather, means of transportations, clothing, and more.

Easy to use.

I was very disappointed in this software. The voices of the animated characters are squeeky and they're annoying to watch. The image on our screen is too small. Some of the activities are too difficult for an adult (the pick a door to find the correct animal is pointless). My kids were bored quickly as was I and we learned very little. Now hunting for better software.

We were moving to Japan and I was looking for computer software to get my kids (age 11 and 8) started with basic words. This got high marks and included other languages so I bought it. We were very disappointed and the kids gave up on it. The problem is that it is difficult to understand the pronounciation of the words. The audio is just not clear.

I later ordered Power Japanese, an adult software program, and we were much happier.

KidSpeak 6-in-1 is my child's favorite thing to do on the computer. There are many fun games and activities to do in KidSpeak which teaches a child foreign language. The cartoon animation and the characters are very entertaining for my child who spends hours at a time playing this game. This is a good way to have a child exposed to foreign languages which are easier to learn at a younger age. Before you know it, your child will be talking to you in another language. KidSpeak 6-in-1 has 6 languages included with it (Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Hebrew) meaning there is plenty for a child to learn and do in the program. I would recomend this program for all children because it is educational yet fun at the same time.

I would rate it zero stars if I could. This is a horrible program. The graphics stink, and the audio is terrible! STAY AWAY!!!!

It turns out that this software can NOT be used on new mac computers, which for me was a huge disappointment. It says on the box and in the description that it can, but really it seems that that is only the case for older mac systems. Aside from that, I'm having a little trouble getting the kids engaged and interested, but I'm hopeful that we'll gain some momentum.

I haven't really been able to run this software, I think it's because I have ME. I have used it before on my sister-in-law's computer and thought it was a great way to grab a young child's interest in another language.
