5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
I Can Speak Spanish is the ideal program for beginner level Spanish speakers. For starters it leads you off with basic grammar and the alphabet which seems like a logical start to learning any language. Then it contains 15 seperate lessons that are all very good and have somewhat of a more personal classroom or course feel. One of the best features is the Before You Know...

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a good way at all to learn a language
I don't understand why this got so many good reviews because it's awful. It doesn't actually teach you how to do anything. It just gives you all these complicated examples and they start out with the hardest verbs. When you're trying to learn Spanish verbs, you must know how to conjugate each verb. It doesn't even explain how to do this at all. The vocabulary flash card...

This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
I Can Speak Spanish is the ideal program for beginner level Spanish speakers. For starters it leads you off with basic grammar and the alphabet which seems like a logical start to learning any language. Then it contains 15 seperate lessons that are all very good and have somewhat of a more personal classroom or course feel. One of the best features is the Before You Know It program which is like having electronic flashcards to practice with and it is really helpful. This is a good program and well worth the buy if you want to learn beginning Spanish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, June 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
This program is really good stuff. It has a lot to teach with 15 lessons and has a flashcard game that is a good program to study with. I was also really impressed with the voice recognition technology that allowed me to compare my pronunciation with that of a native Spanish speakers. This is a good way to learn Spanish and a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most beginner's language programs., December 4, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
This is a good beginners language program that comes with several features to it. There are many ways in which the user can test their knowledge of Spanish with it. The flash-card program is a favorite of mine. It helps you truly understand the vocabulary (by having to type it in), and it teaches you the proper spelling of the words.

My mother, who is a native Spanish-speaker, pointed out that there were a few minor mistakes in it. Still, and overall, this is one of the easiest, cheapest, and best ways to learn Spanish. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn Spanish, or build on their skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, I Can Speak Spanish Now, October 17, 2004
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
I Love this software. Especially for the Price. For less than $10 how can you beat it. And unlike much of the other Learning Spanish software being sold on the Net, I CAN SPEAK SPANISH will keep you interested. Let's be realistic. If the software is boring you're not going to use it. And no matter good it is at teaching, if it's so boring that you don't use it, then you will not learn.
You wont have that problem with I Can Speak Spanish. I use it everyday, actually every morning. I am taking another trip to Panama in two months so I want my Spanish to be "mucho mejor"
And it's really improving. Here's my regimen, upon waking I use the I CAN SPEAK SPANISH software and for my commute to and from work I listen to the LEARNING SPANISH LIKE CRAZY CDs. (I saved a few bucks and ordered the digital download to LEARNING SPANISH LIKE CRAZY and burnt the CDs myself.) After I arrive home, I watch a Spanish speaking soap opera ("novela") and if I am not too tired, before I go to bed, I study a little Italian. But with the two Spanish courses, I seem to be learning Spanish like crazy. Estoy aprendiendo espanol como loco!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Start!, May 15, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
I just got the cd a few days ago, and I've been studying the lessons for two days. This is FUN. Well worth the $9.
It's very challenging because the lessons are structured so that you can't guess what the answers are or what's coming next. In other words, the cd is teaching you to really LEARN. Now if I could just remember everything ... I'll be speaking spanish!!
So far, so good. This program is definately worth checking out. I'm very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy Good Product, June 3, 2003
By 
Ryan Green (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
This is a really good Spanish language learning program. I bought this to help me study for my college Spanish course and it helped a lot. The two parts of the program A+ Spanish and Spanish Before You Know It work perfectly together. A+ Spanish gave me 15 lessons in Spanish on my computer and really gave me a good basis of understanding the Spanish Language. Spanish Before You Know It saved me on studying for those tests. It is a flashcard program that contains thousands of Spanish vocabulary words in different categories. With these two tools I was able to comprehend and learn way more Spanish than I thought I could. I would recomend this program to anyone who wants to learn to Spanish for any reason- business, school, travel ect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better with Behind the Wheel Spanish, May 13, 2005
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
I Can Speak Spanish is a good solid course but I do not recommend that you use it alone. I suggest you buy a good solid car course to use in conjunction with this one at home to have a full and well rounded instructional experience and truly speak Spanish.
I have used both Behind the Wheel Spanish and I Can Speak Spanish for an optimal learning experience at home, office and in your car.

It just gives you all these complicated examples and they start out with the hardest verbs. When you're trying to learn Spanish verbs, you must know how to conjugate each verb. It doesn't even explain how to do this at all. The vocabulary flash card section is about the only thing I've been able to use but I even noticed a few errors with that. I already learned quite a bit of Spanish in school so I only bought this to brush up on what I already knew. But if you're a beginner then don't buy this because you will not be able to learn the language.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Kids!, December 29, 2007
This review is from: I Can Speak Spanish (CD-ROM)
I purchased this for my 7 yr. old. It is not easy to navigate, and it does not start off with the basics. I also purchased Kids Spanish which is a much better program for kids.
