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.

Talk Now! Learn Slovak. If you are planning a trip to Slovakia and you want to learn the basic words and phrases that you are likely to need then this CD ROM is really great. Its quick to learn and fun to use, so it really isnt boring like many other "easy learning" manuals.
Don't expect this tool to teach you how a sentence is constructed, what it does do (and really well) is teach the basics, numbers, names of food, how to say the time, asking where something is etc.
From personal experience I brought this around 3 weeks before I traveled to Slovakia where I stayed for 2 weeks. Im not great at languages (and Slovak is not easy) but I really impressed the family that I stayed with.
A great, fun start to learning Slovak.

Easy to follow and fun to use. Progressed through the sections quickly and picked up the basics very quickly.
I purchased this product to learn Slovak as my girlfriend is from there and I was going to meet her family. The techniques and activities are very useful in this CD as you get to see the spellings AND hear pronunciation which is exactly what you need.
However, I would say this product is more like a phrasebook for a holiday than a comprehensive Slovak teaching tool, it is good for the basics, to learn things like colours and food, but you will need to purchase more in the future if you are looking to speak fluently.
