The people making this definately don't know Estonian very well! I have already learnt some elementary words (from other, more trustworthy sources), and i was very disappointed when discovering obvious errors in the "I am/you are" level in the very first lessons! This makes me very suspicious about the rest of the content and next to useless for me.

This review is from: MLS Easy Immersion Estonian Pro (CD-ROM)

When I discovered that the CD had to be in the computer to use the software, I returned the item--that was unacceptable. Since I returned the item, I didn't examine or use it thoroughly. The small part I did examine and use I found very helpful for speaking the language, however, unless I missed something, there appears to be no user instructions accompanying, or on, the CD (when I opened the CD, I was looking for a section that described the contents and how to use them; I didn't see any). One must familiarize oneself with the language instruction on the CD by exploring the contents, and, if I remember correctly, one will discover a help button which does provide some user instruction.
