Talk Now- Learn Polish - Beginning Level

5 stars (Much better than expected) - Ok, I bought about 4 CDS for polish an dthis was the best o all.....this CD was great because unlike "teach yourself Polish"...ALL the talk was in Polish with pictures and English written translation...so you could play it 500 times with NO WASTE at all since you'll keep hearing POlish so much much better than ';teach yourself polish " cd. it was also much better than polish immersion which was an insult. I highly reccomend this CD 5 stars (Fun way to learn some basic Polish words) - This program will teach you to read, write, and correctly speak some very basic Polish words and sentences. It's a great way to get excited about learning Polish. It is however quite basic. You will only learn about 300 words. But you will learn them very, very well. And you will speak them very, very well. The program allows users to listen as two native polish speakers say the same words and phrases. You can repeat these as often as you like. And you can record your own speach and replay it until your pronounciation is correct. You will learn basic words, colors, food items, phrases, numbers, how to tell time, names of body parts, names of things you may shop for, and polish names of various countries. As a bonus you can print out a very nice polish picture dictionary. To help reinforce your learning, there are many games that give you the opportunity to be challenged. These too are rather simple...but they are indeed fun. And finally...you do not need to understand english to use this program as a polish instructional tool, you can choose from 72 different host languages. In my opinion, Talk Now will teach you quicker and better than Pimsluer. When you are ready get the intermediate version of Euro Talk Polish called World Talk Polish. And forget Pimsluer, which is overpriced and over-rated. Same goes for Rosetta Stone and a few others. When you are ready for intermediate/advanced learning, then consider courses such as Colloquial Polish..etc. ...

Talk Now- Learn Tagalog - Beginning Level

3 stars (Instructional CD - Talk Now! Learn Tagalog ) - Teaches a working vocabulary. Games provided are based on repeating the words so it does imprint the words. However, they do not provide any basics as to how to put words together to create sentences. It's still OK though as it does claim to be appropriate for "absolute beginners". 1 stars (You won't be able to talk back and forth with this.) - If you are looking to buy this software in order to speak to someone back and forth, this is not the product for you. It will teach you phrases and questions, but you won't be able to understand any answers that a native speaker might give you because it doesn't teach you that. You will be able to identify objects in a house or building, but you won't know how to use them in a sentence or even in a fragmented sentence. This is also true for colors. If this is what you rely on to travel somewhere you might find yourself in the middle of a croud just saying azul(blue)......pula(red).... malalim na azul(dark blue)....Nasaan ang maipaparada ng kotse(where can I park the car?) and then even when you ask where can I park the car you won't know where to park it because you won't understand anything that people will tell you because it doesn't teach you that(people might think you're retarded haha). It only teaches you numbers up to 20, so you're out of luck if you ask magkano ito? (how much is this?) and the answer is 150 pisos. You'll just have to hand a merchant a wad of cash and hope he is honest and gives you your change. However, with all the bad things out of the way, this might make a good start for you to learn how to say the words correctly, even though the guy that talk doesn't pronounce the words correctly on there, just click on the girl(she says the correct pronunciations). After completing the CD, Which only took a bout a week and a day a...

Talk Now- Learn Learn Croatian - Beginning Level

3 stars (fun and easy to learn...) - However, quite basic, so once you've finished the first CD, you'll need something else to get to more advanced practice. Even so, this CD worked perfectly for me and did not require me to download any additional software in order to get it to run. I'm using Mac OS X, 10.3.4-Panther on a G4 iBook. The fact that I'm running a Mac version may explain the differences in my review from the other reviewers the same software, who are likely windows based users. The games are quite fun and the graphics are crisp. We've not yet utilized the voice comparisson option, but look forward to doing so as soon as my microphone arrives--the program allows you to have your pronounciation/voicing compared to the native speaker's voices on the CD. For the price (I purchased on sale for under 15$), it's darned good. Not sure what the other reviewers paid, but considering most shareware costs about that much, this is a solid performer. We supplemented this starter program with Pimleseur Croatian. Imati velik dan! (have a great day!) Nina 1 stars (do not buy this item) - I have given this item 1 star because there is nothing lower. It might be a good product, I will never know. The first thing you will find is that in order to view the product you will need to download a software package costing an additional $15. The next thing you will find is that if you want a refund from Amazon, you will pay the shipping because this is not their fault (even though this is not mentioned in the description). The next thing you will find is that if you delete the program on your computer you will lose shared files. 3 stars (OK, but . . .) - Everything said in the editorial review is true. This method is a lot of fun and the interactive bit really helps. The most useful feature is getting to see a picture, record the word or phrase in Croatian, and then playback your recording next to a recording of a native speaker. Obviously, your computer must have a m...

4 stars (Easy and fun way to learn Czech) - I found the Talk Now! Czech CD-ROM very helpful in learning some basic Czech words and phrases. It is a difficult language to learn and this program offers easy games and options to keep it fun and motivating. While it doesn't get into grammar and more complex Czech, it's a great start for anyone wanting to feel more at home in the Czech Republic! ...

Learn Mexican Spanish

4 stars (Parlez-vous fran?#ais?) - This interactive learning experience is fun, colorful and very humorous! It makes learning enjoyable! The only drawback to this program is that it is quite difficult to understand at first. You need to have substantial knowledge of French to be able to catch on to the process; luckily there is an English translation to everything so that you can figure it out. Overall I found Asterix to be a good learning tool in my ongoing effort to learn French. ...

Talk Now- Learn Ukrainian - Beginning Level

3 stars (A Good Start) - There is not much out there in Ukrainian language learning software, so this is a good start. It covers basic some basic vocabulary, but only a few travel phrases. It was simple and easy to use. Not much depth, but is billed 'beginning level.' I did not care for the 'ditzy' personalities or the gambling motif, but that is all window dressing. Almost the same as Instant Immersion - Talk Now: Russian! --except for the language of course. ...

Talk Now- Learn Gujarati - Beginning Level

1 stars (Don't Buy ) - They consider their customers to be software pirates. So, you cannot run their program from your hard drive. I really don't like being considered a criminal. Let your kid put a scratch on you cd and you have no backup because they made this so you cannot back it up. Very, very, very poor customer relations. Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. BTW, the one star should be negative 1000 stars. 1 stars (Awful!!) - Don't bother with this software. It contains a maximum of 300 words, no grammer, and a badly designed interface. ...

Talk Now- Learn Dutch - Beginning Level

5 stars (I'm already speaking dutch!) - The format for this language-learning program is excellent. The biggest problem I found when i tried to teach myself Dutch, was that I had no clue how to pronounce what I was reading. With this program you have 2 native-speakers saying each word (a male and a female), which is enormously helpful in learning the pronunciation. Another great feature is the record button, which allows you to record your own voice, and then instantly compare it to the native speakers. I love this! In fact, my pronunciation was much closer than I imagined it to be. And my boyfriend, who is from the Netherlands, was very impressed with how quickly I was able to pick up so many words and phrases, and say them like a seasoned speaker, and not with a silly accent. There are also quizzes and games, which offer more ways to learn, touching on all aspects of comprehension. I highly recommend this software. Not only was it painless to learn, it was a total blast! Even my 5 year old son loves to use it. ...

Vocabulary Builder - Learn Greek- for Children 4 - up

2 stars (Nice toy, does not teach you Greek) - This product is very different from e.g. "Learn to speak French". It does not teach you basic Greek. It will teach you, pleasantly, to say some words and phrases. That's it. If you are pleased to be able to say "Good morning", "Thank you" and "May I have the bill, please" in the local lingo, go ahead and enjoy. If you want to understand any reply, you need more than this. If you just want to get around, a very, very thin printed parlor will serve you better and more reliably. ...

Talk Now- Learn Swedish - Beginning Level

4 stars (EuroTalk Swedish) - I found this CD to be very useful in reviewing Swedish, which I had studied years ago. I have sampled other products and found them to be ponderous, making language learning more of a chore than it ought to be. The EuroTalk CD's (I have several) are the most fun to do. Will you become proficient in the language by using this CD? Hardly, but you will get a good grounding and it's just fun if you are like me and like to study foreign languages. I wish Amazon.com would make the more advanced levels available as well. I think this CD would be very useful as well for the traveler who just wants an intro to the language. Most Swedes speak English, but not all are comfortable with it. And everyone appreciates an effort to learn the language of the home country. 1 stars (not recommended) - I read the online reviews of this product and thought it looked good or at least good enough. It isn't. The image editing is incredibly jerky and the actors' smiles are downright creepy when seen time and time and time again! (Were the option available to exclude the actors from the screen while still hearing them speak, it would be a better product.) Though some of the vocabulary presented may be useful, the content of the CD does not offer much in the way of sentence or phrase help. 3 stars (When you just need to hear it...) - I was having a great deal of trouble learning Swedish from books because I just couldn't "hear" it inside my head. A friend of mine loaned me this CD and it helped a great deal to get past that challenge. It is a very simple program and there isn't much depth, but I did find it useful because (as Swedish is uncommon here in rural New York) I needed to hear phrases to orient myself. The vocabulary and phrases taught are primarily for tourists. I would rate it higher if the price were just a bit lower, more in line with it's true value. ...

Talk Now- Learn Latin - Beginning Level

2 stars (Not very useful) - Okay, you should get your first clue as to how tailored this software is to learning Latin from the claim "Recording tools let you record your own voice, to compare pronunciation with a native Latin speaker." There haven't been any native Latin speakers in quite some time. If they found some secret recordings of Cicero--- it would be worth quite a bit. And no, neither Latin America nor the Vatican count. You see Latin broke into many spoken dialects which later evolved into the various "Romance" languages. No one really knows for sure how the original Latin was pronounced. Very little grammar is taught in this software. 1 stars (This is useless) - I bought this to help my son who is having trouble in Latin at school, although I was a little skeptical of the title "Talk Now." I should have trusted my reservations. This is just a cheaply created imitation of language immersion programs; the first two practice phrases include the words "beer" and "telephone." No grammar; no conjugations or declensions; no vocabulary lists. This is of NO use to a Latin student; I can't imagine who it could be used by. Even spoken Latin is primarily liturgical. ...

Talk Now- Learn Catalan - Beginning Level

3 stars (Interesting? Yeah, that's it - - interesting language course) - I was abit disappointed with this CD. The price certainly is a bargain; but I agree with the other reviewers in that it is a good introduction to some basic Catalan terms but don't expect to be carrying on conversations about global politics with your taxi driver. The games are - interesting. The interface - well, interesting. But, the actors in it are downright creepy -- a strangely - almost perverse - course that has animated human actors voicing out the words. Interesting? Yeah, kind of -- but, creepy nonetheless. Good for the tourist -- but, watch out when the native Catalan speakers start talking as rapid as they do. Then you may have more respect for the creepy animations on this CD. 4 stars (definitely for beginners) - Learn Catalan is a fun activity and a good learning experience for those with no spanish base; however, i have taken about 5 years of Spanish and found the CD to be fairly basic, and while catalan differs in many ways, many of the things they teach are not as useful as i would hope. There are a lot of items and phrases neccessary to be a tourist. I definitely have benefitted from this CD because i can hear the way the language is pronounced and become more absorbed in it. Overall, great for beginners, and only slightly helpful for someone with spanish knowledge. 4 stars (Good, solid, but extremely basic intro to Catalan...) - AV materials for Catalan are very difficult to find. But Catalan is certainly worth investigating, and this makes for a highly pleasant intro. Now if only Eurotalk would come up with a second CD. ...
