1 out of 5 stars Won't Run on Win XP   March 26, 2010
B. C. Murray (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I had problems getting this to run on my Win XP machine. Contacted support they said "Please note, version 8.1 is over 10 years old and has trouble running on XP (it will not run on Vista)". They then offered me a 10$ discount toward the purchase of the $49.95 Version 10 available on their website.


2 out of 5 stars Not a good first line tool   June 6, 2008

I read some of the reviews before purchasing this $5 program. I understand that you get what you pay for, but none of the reviews prepared me for what I would receive. The application seems to assume you already know the correct spelling of the words. On lesson 1, you're taught hello, goodbye, etc. What you are not given is the correct spelling while in the lesson. Compare this to the $400 Rosetta Stone application, and you see that it is necessary for a newbie to the language to be able to see what it is they're repeating. I have both Rosetta Stone and this application. I'll stick with RS as it is far more intuitive while still acknowledging that level one users need to be able to read and write as well as speak the language. I would use this program to refresh my memory, maybe on words that I'm already familiar with.

My wife and I are trying to learn French fast and this program is making that happen. It is done in an interesting and fun way that keeps your attention. It does not waste a lot of time boring you with details, but gets into conversations fast.
