1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Believe the Hype!!! 11 Oct 2002
This product is woeful. On every and all criteria it falls down. The blurb states 'if you don't have the time to beome fluent but want the basics in a hurry'... That sounded good to me, but it became obvious quite quickly that the people who had designed this were not only very ignorant of language learning, but I suspect may have not even have been Polish.
Let's start with the good parts, the user interface was quite pleasant and straightforward. However the exercises are extremely tedious and do nothing to form associations within the mind - the games are infuriating with extreme repitition employed as a learning tool. In the end I wrote the words down and tried learning them parrot-fashion.
It was then the software went even further down in my estimations - having consulted my Polish girlfriend about some of the words, she informed me that many of them were written in a specific gender and it wasn't specified (so when asking to hire a car I was using the term a woman would use, moglybym etc). Moreover, some words were completely wrong e.g. klucsze for keys is inocorrect. Finally I had to shake my head at the choice of vocabulary, the best example of this I could find and they were legion, was in the food section. In a section on fruit and vegetables they didn't include the Polish word for cabbage and included the Polish word for chopsticks!!! I rest my case!
Stay well away, you'll learn nothing here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talk Now! Learn Polish 13 Jun 2002
Simply excellent!
The interface is superb, very well put together and very user friendly.
I bought this cd based on the previous review and it did not disappoint. TalkNow! Offers a very simple and very effective formula; several categories each consisting of a simple tutorial followed by two tests, one easy and one hard. At the end there is a general test on all of the categories, leading to a certificate. Very simple, extremely effective and very enjoyable. Totally addictive and highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Polish can be fun. 5 Jun 2001
By A Customer
After struggling with other methods of learning Polish this CD-Rom was a breath of fresh air. The entertaining and fun approach made the learning process easier and more interesting. In less than 3 hours my 9 year old son and myself had started to learn the basics of the Polish Language. I would recomend this product to anyone who wants to learn the language quickly and easily.
