Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Planning a trip overseas? To learn a new language fast, older kids and adults can spend some time with these programs that are designed to "quickly" teach Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Each offers onscreen tutoring, interactive conversations with characters, speech recognition, a talking dictionary and a grammar guidebook. Also featured are excellent games that reinforce lesson content. The CDs are not geared for children, but rather for adults who need to prepare for a trip or a move to a foreign country. We tried the Italian program and liked it. The voice recognition components are especially valuable. The computer asks you a question, you respond verbally, and the software either accepts or rejects your answer. It's a lot like having a real live tutor. Keep in mind that this is not as comprehensive a package as some of the competition. It focuses mostly upon speaking and understanding everyday survival language. Another caution--sometimes the program moves too quickly, and the narrator may tell you you're doing great when you're really not. Your best bet is to repeat the section if the pace is too fast.

This product is unusable with the 64-bit system that operates modern computers. Therefore only archaic equipment can utilize this CD-ROM.

This review is from: Quickstudy Spanish (CD-ROM)

I purchased this product a few years ago when I had a Windows 98 system. I am now trying to use the CD Rom but it does not work on the Vista Laptop or the Windows XP laptop. To make matters worse there is no way to contact this company. The contact numbers on the packaging do not work. They do not post up to date contact information anywhere on the internet. Please avoid this product. I note that the product only works on old computer systems.
