It's hard to believe this program is being offered in 2012. The content is not bad, but the interface is so slow, clunky and antiquated you feel as if it must have been written in the early 80s. What is the point of learning language on a computer, if the program relies on retrieving the info from a CD ROM, and you spend most of your time waiting for the computer to pull up the CD data? When the programs work at all, BTW. Starting them takes a lot of poking around, because each CD seems to have a different start base, and the .exe that you actually do install on your PC, which tells you to insert a CD in any drive, does nothing much after you do that. You have to explore, find the program on the CD and start it from there. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 Pro computer with 16 GB of memory, and more than enough HD space, and again, this is 2012, not 1980, so why is this program set to run off of slow CDS? Who has time to waste waiting for the CD to pull up the program, or the next line of instruction, when you could be spending that time productively learning the language. This company needs to spring for a rewrite of their software.

Another thing is the vocabulary sections -- the first disk or two you can click a button to have it stream the vocabulary pictures and sound. By level 2, it requires you to click each one to see the picture and hear the sound, not once but TWICE for each word and sound. If you are an 7 year old child, sure, you may need the program to be this slow. If you are an adult, you are finding it hard to get through the vocabulary from the sheer slowness of the program, and could have done it two or three times faster but for that. So they REALLy need to rewrite that too.

It should be noted that this product DOES NOT work on the newest Lion Operating System for Mac (10.7.3) I JUST bought this laptop two weeks ago and it has the newest software available and when I received my German Lessons last week it would NOT run on my new computer. That information should be made available to buyers. It claims that it will work but it DOES NOT. That being said I tried the program on my windows computer and It works fine the program is very good, but if your only option in a new MAC, then i would advise caution!!!

I honestly don't know where to start. I guess i'll say this to give you some perspective. I never write reviews... never, even if the software is bad. But this company....

First off I know this is on Amazon so my first problem won't be an issue to you it will just show you how the company is. I paid the 49.99 off of Instant Immersions website and it took 11 days to get to my house. They said it would take 5-7 days so I was beginning to wonder. Eventually though it came in and I was like okay, human error happens whatever.

Plug the first CD in ran through it like a champ, actually liked it. It has an old outdated interface but who cares you're buying the product to learn a language not to be swooned over by it's aesthetic beauty. So when i'm finished I'm like hey let me move on to CD 2 of level one. Apparently CD 2 did not wan't me to move on. In fact I couldn't get out of CD 2. No exit button on the interface, and this one was way more outdated than the first CD. Before the interface popped up I was expecting more of the same but no this CD looked WAY different. It looked like a completely new product, like another company had made it. I eject the CD hoping it would bring me back to my desktop but no. After about 20 minutes of running through interfaces maze I admitted defeat and had to pull the plug on my laptop (Something very bad to do). So I won't be using disc 2 but never the less I am a positive person so in goes disc 3 with a smile on my face :) it quickly turns to this :(

Disk three seems to be stuck over in the corner of my desktop and I can not figure out how to go full screen.Thank fully I can still use the software though. It looks way different from both disc one and disc two but its bearable.

I should've spent the money on Rosetta Stone. For example, some of the first words you learn are ant and baseball bat. How often are you going to use those words in conversation? It spends too much time on cognates - I get that coffee is der Kaffee and house is das Haus. Why don't we work more on memorizing difficult words like Entschuldigung (sorry)? The program is also contradicts itself. In one section bus is der Bus, in another it's die Autobus. The lessons don't have any rhyme or reason. The play-back of your recording is cheap and really difficult to compare to the example. I like Rosetta Stone much better for that feature alone. Don't waste your money.

I took two semesters of German in college, taught by a native speaker that grew up in East Germany during the time of the Berlin Wall. I can definitely say that there is no comparison between learning the real thing in a classroom vs buying a $25 computer program. At the time, I thought the textbook, "Wie Geht's," was a bad choice by the University. Now I am disappointed that I sold it after finishing the course.

I bought this at Costco and am really disappointed. The amount of learning covered in my old college textbook, in just the first few chapters, far surpassed the entire scope of this program. I tried a few of the level one courses; upon completing the food section, it dawned on me that the amount of words you are learning are minimal. There are maybe 25 words for each subject. I also noticed a few errors in the program. For "vielen Dank" (many thanks) and "Danke" (thank you) they use the same exact picture of a person holding a bag of money. When I took the "hard" quiz for that section, they had both words/pictures on the same page and expected you to be able to distinguish between the two of them; which I apparently failed to do.

Bored with Level 1, I decided to jump all the way to level 3 and take a couple quizzes. The level of difficulty is no different for level 3 than it is for level 1; the only difference is that you are learning phrases instead of words. There is no emphasis on grammar and the four cases; these are very essential components of learning the German language!

Videos of the speakers are just an animation that plays every time you click on a word. The movement of their mouths does not match up with what they are saying. The male character does blink A LOT and it can be very distracting.
