5.0 out of 5 stars It is easy to listen to., March 20, 2007

By	D. Richard Dance (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am halfway through the CD's and find them easy to listen to. Each section on a CD is broken up into management pieces and concepts are explained. The voice is clear and understandable. Now that I am getting into verb conjugations I may need to sit a listen and write a few things down, but up to now listening and practicing in the car on the way to work has been fine. My family is planning a trip to Germany this summer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Speech recognition is Horrible. Grammar & Dictionary tools too., December 14, 2008

By	originalmike007 "Live Well" (CA USA) - See all my reviews

One of the "lessons" requires you to put the words of a sentence in order and speak it out loud. However good this concept appears the application is awful. Imagine saying the words in the correct order but the program doesn't recognize the sentence, instead showing you what is incorrect but apparently uncorrectable.

The second biggest problem is that the dictionary/translation tool rarely works when needed. Leaving you to guess instead of discover what a word or sentence means or the context it is being used in. There is no option to translate entire sentences.

The grammar tool often gives a different explanation than the one sought. How many times I have seen the explanation that sometimes pronouns are capitalized for emphasis when I needed to know a conjugation or something else is ridiculously high.

The CD's are OK but definitely not stand alone. Without seeing the stuff spelled out you aren't really learning the language.

All that being said there are some good features to this program. Multiple learning modes make for easy dynamic review and help keep interest up. However better to take a class at your local college or hire a tutor than use any software.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, January 18, 2008

By	F. Studstill (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like the lessons included in the Deluxe version better, but this has more inclusive vocabulary CDs.
