Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product for Beginners! Comment: My husband and I bought this set hoping to learn enough Spanish to 'get around' Barcelona during our vacation. I had several years of Spanish in high school, but my husband had none (he took two years of French).
This program uses a nice combination of visual learning through pictures, spelling / grammar and pronunciation via the spoken word. Very effective. It seems to intuitively cycle difficult words / phrases back into your learning activities to give you more practice, which is great.
You can set the degree of difficulty you want the program to grade your pronunciation on, depending on your level of comfort and past experience with the language. You can use your own computer's microphone, or the headset they provide. You can choose a 'male' or 'female' voice for recognition, to further customize your experience. The technology itself is smooth and easily navigable.
As someone who has a 'little' background in Spanish, some of this Level 1 is a bit of a review, but learning it in a new way is making it less repetetive and dull. The lessons move quickly, as well. Would recommend for true beginners. Customer Rating: Summary: I did not use it because I wanted the complete 3 levels Comment: I assume it is a great product. I had never order with Amazon. Although I was quite satisfied with how speedy the product arrived.
Also I was amazed at how easy it was to place the order, pricing and availablilty of the product. In the future I hope to use Amazon again. Customer Rating: Summary: a software note Comment: This product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product.
Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection.
