Too ChildishI got this program so I could keep my fluency at about the same level over summer break. I was really hoping for a basic program that would simply teach you Spanish and allow you to listen to Spanish conversations and try to interpret them. But this product is clearly aimed at elementary school children. It is laden with a heavy graphical interface. I wouldn't get this program if you were serious about learning Spanish. I just couldn't use it because it is so ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense. It might just be better to get Rosetta Stone... But RS costs like 500 dollars. You pay for what you get I guess.
It also never really "Immerses" you in Spanish. Even if you were to ignore the interface it is still a very poor learning experience. Maybe if you want you child to try and learn Spanish this program would be good. But from my experience, nothing works better than traditional classes and actual conversations with Spanish peoples.
Maybe worth the money as an additional aidThe yellow box, the Instant Immersion tag, and the fancy packaging is all an illusion to look like Rosetta Stone. This is not Rosetta Stone! But for the money this is a great set of additional training tools that work fine as a supplement to whatever other method you are using to learn Spanish. You won't learn to speak and understand conversations using just this product, you just won't, but as a bit of brush-up on the side it will help.
The games and iPhone MP3 files are useful. The circa 1980s generic clip-art graphics is just sad. Andere is no real immersion, no real intelligence to the reparation or presentation, and again, I can only recommend if you are looking to use it as a supplement, not as a single-source language learning system. But for that daunting task, there really is something much better and cheaper than the much hyped Rosetta Stone - take a look at the Spanish Fluenz DVD's -- Fluenz Version F2: Spanish 1 (Win/Mac) with software DVD, audio CD, podcasts, and Navigator. Learn Spanish with the latest upgrade. They are muy bien!
Spain Spanish, not Mexican Spanish.....Upon starting the software learning regimen, I found it easy to navigate and fun to learn. For all the negativity written about this software, I'd have to say those people are out of there minds. What you learn is SPAIN Spanish. For what you get compared to the price, it's a no brainer! For those of us who did not learn rudimentary Spanish in school, this is a great product. I come from a Spanish background never learning the language. I didn't have the discipline to learn until now. You really need to converse with other Spanish speaking people to get it to sink in. Practice makes perfect. I am already thinking in Spanish! Overall I'd say it's worth the investment. Where else can you learn so much for so little? Wonderful product that is highly recommended!
Instant Immersion Spanish - Easy to UnderstandI bought Immersion Spanish a few weeks ago, and when I uploaded the first cd to my computer, It was just that-instant. It has a male spanish speaker and a female spanish speaker, who pronounced the words each in different ways to give a clear understanding of how to pronunce the words. It has a clock like list of lessons: Firstwords, Food, Colors, Phrases, Countries, Shopping, Time, Numbers and Body on Cd 1 - you click on the topic you want to practice. After you practice, you can click on a word practice session or an Easy or Hard Game Session. It has a Speaking Practice - where you can speak and listen to how you pronounce the words. It also has a dictionary you can print. When I'm done with Level 1, I will progress to Levels, 2 and 3 of the other cds. I think it's easy and to the point. Great.
Halfway decentCan't beat the product for the price. Only complaint is they don't tell you if this is a South American Spanish course. There is nothing in the sales literature or the instructions. I gambled on the course because of the price. Street Spanish perhaps needs to be learned elsewhere.
