1.0 out of 5 stars Beware, only Castillian spoken here, October 17, 2004

By	M. Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This set is fine if you only want to learn Spanish in the Castillian accent. Castillian is a rare accent that you will encounter in certain areas of Spain. No Latin American countries use Castillian! You'd be better off with a different set of software if you truly want to learn the Spanish that most native speakers use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome....learning fast!!!, July 25, 2005

By	Hart2Hart - See all my reviews

My husband and I bought this item in hopes of being able to understand some of the locals in Mexico (we go there quite often). So far, we absolutely love this program! We've both learned more in one weekend of using the program than in the months we spent trying another program. I am currently on the second disc (out of 5) and he is nearing the end of disc one. We've also looked at disc 4 (the picture dictionary...a great disc!). We also downloaded the Spanish-English Dictionary bonus disc. I would buy this item again in a heartbeat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful for Beginners, March 1, 2004

By	D. Daniel (BAILEYS HARBOR, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent in presentation, the only disappointment is that it is teaching the "th" sound that you find in Spain, not in Mexico, but all in all an excellent product.
