Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Talk Now! Range is the world's best selling language learning CD-ROM series for beginners, used by more than eight million people to date. Talk Now! caters for all types of beginner: young learners from the age of 4, families, students and people going abroad with no knowledge of the language. It is simple to use, with no installation required - the program runs straight from the CD, and is compatible with the latest versions of Mac and Windows.

Eurotalk software is completely intuitive - the simple interface means that learning is as easy as pointing and clicking. Speech recording allows you to record your voice and compare it with native speakers. Quiz yourself with 2 levels of difficulty to test what you've learnt - earn points and monitor your progress, then take on the memory man and get the maximum possible 1800 points to receive the gold award! Learn at your computer - or alternatively, print out pages of the printable picture dictionary, or you can learn on the move using the iPod application.

Above all, EuroTalk discs are designed to be fun. Research in the early 1990s at the University of California revealed that memory is greatly improved when accompanied by fun and laughter. Our quizzes, games and stories provide this and you will be amazed how much you remember after a surprisingly short time devoted to a disc.

The program is very easy to use and you definitely feel like you're getting somewhere with it. Although the games are a little uninspired, it gives you enough variation to practice without getting bored. However, this is for absolute beginners and I wouldn't expect to be able to get by speaking French without further help. The phrases are good to know but useless unless you can understand the answer, and the words are useful but, again, not much use unless you can put them in context. A good foundation, but not much more than that.

A good start 18 Aug 2010
My kids love this CD, they are 5 and 7 and do not learn french at school so before our holiday in Normandy this year I was keen to teach them basics. They loved the games and trying to beat each other scores, but best of all learnt words and phases quickly and had the confidence to show off when we were in restaurants and ordered their own food. Great for kids and the basics if you have no knowledge of the language or need a refreshers course.

Great for Kids 23 Feb 2011
By A John TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
I am a fan of the Talk Now series - and have found it useful to get the basics in Greek and Spanish.

I bought the French one to help my children with their French for school - and I've been delighted how well they have taken to this. My youngest is 7, and even he was able to score well on the colours and numbers fairly quickly. The games are reasonably entertaining, and there is a bit of a race on to be the first to get the bronze award.

This does just cover the basics, colours, numbers, time, first words, common phrases, food, shopping, countries and parts of the body. For each topic, there are four games, two easy ones, and two hard. I find that the hard games make you return again to topics, and help to cement the words. It is just basic vocabulary, but it can help make a positive start in learning the language.
