Product Description

What PC Magazine

You'll find you can't drag yourself away - in short, you can't stop yourself learning.'


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.

'Buying EuroTalk has helped me so much - the vocabulary I had learned in just 30 minutes was extraordinary! I look forward to learning more with EuroTalk software.' Robin Cross - 16th May 2008

'This is an excitingly different language learning series. Talk Now! uses games and quizzes as a basis for making the learning process fun and relaxing. There's no better way to teach and old dog new tricks and this fun element of the programme means that your fears are forgotten as you absorb words and phrases without even realising you are learning them.'

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't teach a language, 11 May 2005
I am utterly disappointed. Of the "first words" section, over half are just adopted English words. Fair enough -- tell us them, but don't quiz us on whether we know what "taxi" and "toilet" are Kannada for! After telling us that "Hello" and "Good-bye" are Kannada for "Hello" and "Good-bye", it fails to tell us how to ask how someone is doing. It teaches to count to twenty, and no further. It teaches how to say a time (eg 5 past 5), but not ask what the time is, say what the time is or arrange to do something at a given time.

Overall, this package -- and presumably the others in the series are the same -- fails to teach a language. It is an electronic phrasebook suffering a chronic shortage of phrases. That which it does teach does not reflect any situations where you are likely to need Kannada.

And to add insult to injury, the packaging is atrociously cheap. A patchy laser-printed dust cover flaps loosely at one end, stuck fast at the other so you can't take it off. And after all the faults, they still have the bare-faced cheek to include a catalogue of their products, which is stuck solid to the inside cover!

A joke. A worthless, overpriced joke.
