2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 12, 2004

This review is from: Learn To Speak French 9 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

The software may be good for beginners but intermediate and advanced learners will be disappointed. The basic and intermediate sections are very basic, though the extended features has some items of interest. The constant English audio instructions (no option to switch to French) are useful once, but annoying afterwards.

Technically, the software runs slow and the voice recognition feature is cumbersome and buggy. Not the best product available by far.

the best way to learn a language is to use it. this cd system teaches you phases then has you use them as it guides you, and records how close you get to sounding like a native. it also shows you how to conjugate, but you don't mind because it's things you've already said. it also let's you work at your own pace. well worth the money. au revoir!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, June 13, 2004

This review is from: Learn To Speak French 9 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

This software is awesome for learning French! First you start off learning the alphabet and learning vowels, etc., then you move onto Basic Phrases, Beginner I, Beginner II, and then Intermediate (Comprehensive Courses). A reference book comes with the package along with 5 CDs. It has frozen one time in the pass, and sometimes the speech recognition can be frustrating. However, great software product overall.
