What Others Say
Easy speak French
This software makes learning french fun! I bought if for my 7th grader to help her in school. And I even use it. I am thinking about getting the spanish program too. (for myself) :)
Flawed Product
Tried it in 3 seperate computers - 2 xp 1 vista - and the software does not work. Messages refer to files that are missing or in the wrong directory.
Fun
I wouldn't say that this is a real learning tool. It's fun and a good supplimental tool to what ever language program you are using. I had problems getting the software to run on my home PC which I bought in 2001 but has windows XP. It did run with out a problem on my new lap-top. So if you have a PC that's a couple years old, you might have problems getting the CD to run too. Maybe there's a language barrier?
For kids
I got a bad taste from this software for 2 reasons.
1. It's not for adults.
2. The Mac version seems to be a bad port of the Windows version. It pounds the processor. It also requires the CD to be present in the drive in order to function.
So this may be ok (not great) for a child on a Windows machine (with the CD always present) otherwise you can do better even with free podcasts.
AMUSEMENT & SIMPLE
After reading the reviews for various French language programs it has become apparent that "one size does NOT fit all"! This is not for those who have studied French in school or had classes in speaking French.
These are quick, fun lessons.....an easy way to pick up French words or phrases if you are visiting France for the first time. It will not necessarily teach you how to say complete sentences or paragraphs. But you will learn basic words to begin your homework and progression to more difficult skills, if you desire. You can make it as repetitive as you want without being bored to death! The lessons are presented in a whimsical way for all ages.
One important note: the disc will need to be updated with ... Read More
