Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Whether your motives are practical, intellectual, or just plain curious, Spanish for Dummies is an entertaining CD-ROM program that will most certainly teach you a little Spanish.
Spanish for Dummies is easy to install. While there are two CD-ROMs, only the first one is required for installation. The user environment is colourful and fun, and navigation is simple. There is nothing too complicated in the way of menus, steps and selections, and each time you visit a new section, a cartoon tutor pops up to explain what you should do next.
The best feature of Spanish for Dummies is that it starts with the basics. It recommends the first thing you do as a new student is familiarise yourself with the different sounds of Spanish. You can listen to recordings of both male and female native speakers pronouncing single syllables, multiple words, and similar sounding words. This feature is realistic for new students who cannot begin to form sentences unless they know what Spanish sounds like. Other useful features include wide-ranging lessons, activities, and quizzes. The user goes at his or her own pace and can move forward or back, depending on learning speed.
For those who believe practice makes perfect, Spanish for Dummies incorporates speaking exercises into the learning plan. The downside is that these speaking exercises do require a microphone that does not come with the software. Ideal for anyone with a real interest in learning Spanish, it does not promise magical learning abilities, but rather incorporates real language-learning practice within the technology of interactive media. The result is a tutorial program that will put you well on your way to finding that bathroom in Madrid, asking for directions in Seville and buying the latest fashions in Barcelona. --Kendra Hayden
