4.0 out of 5 stars Great interactive fun!, March 9, 2006

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Vietnamese - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

If you're looking to learn just the basics, this is a fun way to go. It's clever and cute and has great visuals and sound. However, it probably works best if you also have a Vietnamese friend to help guide you. Also, be aware that the Vietnamese that is being taught is northern Vietnamese and not southern Vietnamese. Also, there were a few vocabulary words used which are very formal and aren't normally used by northerners or southerners.

1.0 out of 5 stars irritating and slow, March 21, 2007

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Vietnamese - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

i am greatly disappointed in this software. they privacy protect it so you cannot copy to the hard drive but always have to have the CD in the driver. this makes it slow (even with a pretty fast processor and driver), a battery drain and incredibly irritating. in some cases, words get broken up because it is reading from the driver. i cannot actual evaluate it as a language learning tool because this is so irritating. i wouldn't recommend it.

will try and return.
