Customer Reviews
Great program and excellent buy
Before you spend hundreds of dollars on other Spanish learning
programs, give this one a try. I've tried demos of the more expensive
programs, and considering their prices, they did not impress me. Learn
to Speak Spanish Deluxe offers similar content as the other more
expensive programs, but at a fraction of the cost. This is an excellent
program that is easy to follow, shows your progress, rates your accent,
has vocabulary drills, conversations, cultural movies, and two CD-ROMs
you can listen to. The main program is on a DVD and installs easily on
Vista. I highly recommend this program.
A MUST HAVE AT AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE !!
My husband and I have been studying various sources in order to
learn Spanish for an upcoming trip to Mexico. Yet, it was not all
coming together in a functional way. So we purchased Learn to Speak
Spanish Deluxe 10 from Amazon.com.
This is so much better than the other sources that we could not
believe the price. It has a DVD for computer installation, which also
contains a number of movies so that one can get immersed in the
language.
It comes with 3 additional CDs for improving pronunciation. Each
word can be heard, imitated and recorded on the computer with instant
feedback as to how one's pronunciation is coming. Not only is one able
to hear pronunciation for sounds and words, but also for the vowels,
one can see a moving animation of how the tongue and lips are shaped to
make the sounds.
There are lessons set by the program or one can build her/his own
lessons based on need. A pre-test tells one where he/she needs to
start. There is a Spanish-English /English-Spanish dictionary with all
of the Spanish words pronounced with the simple click of the mouse.
In addition to the 144 page quick reference guide book which
comes with the program, there is a 170 page workbook in PDF format with
exercises and answers. The workbook is excellent and gives the
conjugation of a number of verbs. There are 40 interactive scenarios in
which you speak to the person on the screen in an appropriate
conversational way. The computer picks up your voice and the program
gives you immediate feedback.
Even the games, which are fun, stress pronunciation and record
your voice to see if you are saying the words and phrases properly. (I
paid over $100 for a voice recognition program which types.) This
program has a cute little gauge which registers how close you are
getting to the proper pronunciation. It goes from tourist to native.
Of course it has sound that that lets you know how well you are doing in
addition to the gauge.
I could go on but . . . Why? Well, I will just a little. The
words are listed in such a way that they are related. You can click on a
button and have a drill in which a list of words is said in Spanish
with the English meaning on the screen. You can if you wish, repeat and
record to get immediate feedback for accuracy.
You can download to an MP3 or play the CDs when not at your
computer. There is even an internet connection from the site which links
you to travel information and time, weather conditions in various
countries etc.
No, I do not work for the company but as an educator myself, I
think every subject should have a program similar to this, then the USA
would rank in the top five in education again. This is so much fun that
kids could learn without pain and the reward would not only be in high
scores earned on the computer but good grades in school as well. With
the added benefit of usable knowledge.
This is the best $17.95 we have ever spent. Language courses in
high school and college did not make language come alive like this. Our
hats are off to the educators and program designers who developed this
excellent learning program at such an affordable price. ¡Muchas
gracias!
Great User-Friendly Program - Keeps Your Interest
This is a terrific program - I needed to learn the basics of Spanish
for a business trip to Lima, Peru. It got me prepared for the trip with
alot of useful Spanish to use on the trip, from transportation to
restaurants, to dealing with store vendors and in a few situations on
the weekend when we went sightseeing.
