I absolutely love this CD-Rom. I've always had a problem learning spanish from a book. For one, I had no clue as to how most of the words were pronounced. With this item, you see the word and hear it spoken. The coolest part is you can record yourself saying the words, and it will play it back for you and grade you on how native you sounded. Plus you can have interactive conversations! Also includes talking dictionary, cultural movies, internet lessons, progress checks, and much more. It's worth the money, and better than any other teacher who's tried to force feed this language down my throat. Move at your own pace and have fun learning for a change.

I cannot stop raving about this program (though I should note that I have the more recent version, Learn to Speak Spanish Deluxe, which has considerably more content). This is my dream program, and I am a language teacher, so I know what to look for: audio for virtually every word/phrase/conversation, progressive lessons, exercises, videos, etc. etc. It is logically arranged, and covers absolutely every basic topic imaginable. It has tons of features but will not be overwhelming for someone who takes the time to get used to them. You will certainly not be sorry if you purchase this and dedicate yourself to it. I started from scratch and now feel completely at ease with a homestay that I will be doing soon in Ecuador.
 Poor at $5 I can't even say I got what I paid for March 2, 2005

Wouldn’t install without a ton of personal information and spyware, then wouldn’t run properly. Also every time you try to use it your forced to endure their cheesy flash add before it freezes and fails to load the program. You need not buy any product from a manufacture like this unless of course you want to waste money.

I am working my way through v8.1 now - I found it very hard to load & endured a long time on the help line only to be told to look on line for help - it finally loaded but I don't know how.
THe lesson plans & internet access doesn't not work , so I feel I am missing alot of the course.
Yet , it does appear to offer a well structured course.
If you are to buy this , look for a discounted price incase you suffer the same problems as me. I wld recommend it - not sure if I am learning Spanish but then that is prob due to me & NOT the course ! Best of luck.
