Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
With ever more people discovering the joys of Andalucía and Latin America, the boom in the learning of Spanish shows no sign of abating. Learn Spanish Now is among the better software packages in a crowded market.

The tutor comes on two CDs. One of these has key sections including "survival phrases", fun activities, conversations and speech practice against the voice of a native speaker; the other has a thorough grammar tutorial. This is a valuable combination for those serious about learning Spanish and the product is clear and easy to use. Spanish phrases are highlighted in a box and their English translations placed beneath, and the voice-recognition software allows you to measure your own voice against that of a native speaker. Although the "recognition" seems to be skewed somewhat towards Iberian pronunciation as against Latin American sounds (the complete lack of consonants in Chilean Spanish does not go down very well, for instance), it still represents a useful benchmark.

The part on survival phrases is particularly well designed and will be of much use to those who have basic Spanish. There are several practice dialogues based on commonplace situations--in the bank, the hotel, the taxi and so on--with some priceless examples that all of us must have wished we'd known at some point or other ("I've locked the key in the bedroom"). Although some of the advice borders on the infantile ("When you decide to travel outside the USA, you will probably need a passport"), much of it is useful and rounds out a well-composed package. --Toby Green

Combining theory and practise in this way, its an excellent piece of software

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 15 Sep 2002
By Travis Powell (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I was very surprised with the quality of this software package. It is very well rounded providing a good starting point for all levels. It includes videos that give the text, word-for-word, below the screen. The words can be highlighted to see their meaning. Games and repetition exercises allow for good reinforcement of what you will learn. Having learned what Spanish I already know in Mexico, I was also pleased to see a variety of other accents represented. A+ software!

4.0 out of 5 stars An almost perfect package, 27 Jul 2002
By Doug Smyth (Tenerife, Canary Islands) - See all my reviews
This package is great to use from the start. (I'm having to learn most folks around where I live don't speak English). It is not a traditional learning package where you start by saying hello and how to buy two beers please, although you can do this. There are, as stated, different learning styles such as video or just sound. The video quality isn't bad but the sound with it could be better (only with video otherwise very good). My only addition to it would be to add a dictionary, so that you can type a word and it will show you the translation and how to say it.
The games are good practice and the voice recognition works well. My wife doesn't get on to well with the computer but she does using this. Her only gripe is that she isn't learning faster than me, yet!!
Try it, not the cheapest but definately good. I'm glad we did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Learn Spanish Now! 9.0, 4 Sep 2003
By A Customer
I have just bought this package having completed a short spanish course last year. I intended to use it in addition to Michael Thomas's CDs which are excellent. However I have found this software really difficult to get in to. There seems to be no structure to the learning, it just starts with full conversations in Spanish using vocabulary and grammar that is unfamilar to a beginner. It might improve with more use, but my initial impression is that it is a big waste of money, especially if you like a structured way of learning.
