Software Reviews of Learn to Speak Spanish: The Complete Interactive Learning Solution (4 CD-ROMs, Version 8.0)

Customer Review: Wouldn't recommend it.
Summary: 2 Stars

I found this product to be a bit dated and primitive. Every time you open the program you have to listen to the same introductory English instructions, which quickly become annoying. The links for the online portion of the lessons seemed to be inactive. The best thing about the software is that it includes interactive exercises, in which you have simulated conversations with screen characters. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of those exercises. I returned to package to the vendor, Nothing But Software. They were very helpful, and they gave me a prompt refund. In general, I'm sure that there are better software packages in a similar price range, for people like me who don't want to pay $500 for Rosetta Stone.

Description of Learn to Speak Spanish: The Complete Interactive Learning Solution (4 CD-ROMs, Version 8.0)

This 4 CD set offers an in-depth learning system to achieve Spanish fluency. Features "real-world" conversation simulations, speech recognition, and record/playback!
Spanish is quite an easy language in which to communicate at a basic level, but its complex grammar makes it surprisingly hard to speak correctly. However, this quality is well worth trying to overcome, because it is the gateway to getting by in a whole continent--Latin America.

This advanced course provides a sensible path to speaking good Spanish. It comes with precise details of grammar and vocabulary, but also allows you to tailor the course to your own needs. Possessing some of the most recent developments in software technology, the course really does allow you to practice speaking and listening to conversations as if you were in Spain. This is absolutely essential: the harsh accent of Castilian Spanish can be a shock to those who have only read through examples on the page.

The course focuses on the essentials of communication, but also includes voice recognition and playback, so that you can hone your speech, and comes with a full dictionary, course book, and personalized plan. It is designed so that you can study at your own pace, focusing on the words and situations about which you wish to learn most. These interactive features produce a program that is at once personal and comprehensive, and makes a decent standard of Spanish well within reach. However, people intending the course for use in Latin America should note that the accents are Castilian, and thus very different to what they will find in the Americas. --Toby Green


Four complete courses cover 100 exercises, including pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. Other features include the Pre-Assessment Test, Customized Study Plan, Subject-Specific Study Topics, Progress Tracking, Interactive Lessons, Language Study Group, and Personal Tutor.
