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

Book Review: For the price, worth the time
Summary: 4 Stars

A clunker of a product on windows xp pro. One has to insert disc 1 to start the program. Then remove disc 1 to insert disc 2, 3 or 4, to get the proper lessons. If the program freezes up, then you have to shut it down. Can not insert disc 2, or 3, or 4 or it will say this version will not work in a windows NT environment.....

So, in its glory old day, it probably worked fine in windows 95, 98, etc.... But it doesn't work as smoothly as it should in win xp.

But it still serves its purpose... for the price... The spontanous conversation did not work well, but there are always glitches on voice regcognition softwares. It will do... Not great... but fun enough and beneficial enough that I would say, can complement your classes.

Clutsy with xp pro, you might consider using it in older windows versions.

Summary 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.
