4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better..., October 15, 2002

By	Abbi Florence (Kailua, HI, United States) - See all my reviews

This works great for translating words, but I've had some trouble with complete sentences. With my knowledge of the language, you would need to know what order to put your words to make anyone understand you. Therefore, it's good for basic refesher or just looking up words, but not for real communication. It does give tenses, which is helpful. Overall, it was worth it, based on the other options out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars German is a little lacking, November 23, 2003

By	"stanley_newell" (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this card primarily for German, but was disappointed to find out that the German words are not listed with their gender. All German words have a gender (masculine, feminine and neuter) and you need to know the gender in order to use the proper article. In German the article is pretty important for effective communication. Other than that, the quantity of words and useful phrases is pretty good. I also like the functionality and navigability of the software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Premium Provider, Great Data, December 24, 2002

By A Customer

This card is great! I don't know if you noticed, but the provider of the content on the card is Franklin Electronic Publishers, the leader in handheld translating software! I haven't seen any other products that can translate words not only from English to other languages and back, but between those other languages. This is a must buy for teachers, students, and travelers.
