 Big disappointment June 20, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a copy tis product, knowing full well that it would give the user a taste of each language. However, imagine my surprise when I listened to 3 of the languages and the CD was screwed up -- slurred phrases, jumps and skips. I speak a bit of Welsh and when I listened to that language it was faulty as described. I returned it for a refund.
Embarrassingly basic, not worth your time or money May 14, 2007

I bought this application thinking it would teach me just the basic phrases I would need as a business traveler or as a tourist. It does not even give you the bare minimum you would need to know when visiting a foreign country.
You don't even learn how to ask for the price of something, what time of day it is, or how to count beyond three. I would like to devote more time to a more insightful review, but I'd say its not even worth the effort. Trust me, this is a big waste of your money and more importantly your time.
Faulty product??? April 16, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have checked my PC requirements, and we have determined that it is NOT my PC that has the problem. I received this program as a Christmas gift and several of the more "rare" languages are completely faulty. Welsh, for instance, is completely botched. The clips for the woman's voice were mixed with half of a man's voice...or else they flat out didn't work. Many of the sound clips are just complete junk. I thought it may just be a faulty copy, so I took it to the store and exchanged it for another copy. It messed up on the exact same parts as the other copy did?!?! It's so strange because everything else worked, and I'm running an up-to-date version of XP, so there is no reason why this wouldn't run. Of course the more basic, languages like Spanish, Japanese, French worked just fine. But come on, let's face it, I didn't want it for the common languages!! I thought it would be more fun to hear some of the unusual ones like Swahili and all that. Only to find out that they didn't even load proper sound clips??? I was bummed. I wasn't expecting anything too thorough because there were soooo many languages, but I at least expected the darn thing to work!! It seems very cheaply made and thrown together. Don't waste your time with this one.
Immersion? Doesn't get your feet wet July 13, 2006

Rather weak. The product does not include the foreign words written in English letters, so that it's difficult to tell what they're saying. And the overdubbed models speaking the words are of no benefit whatsoever. Neither does the program help you build a useful traveler's vocabulary. Overall, a poorly designed product.
 Good for price, but very limited September 17, 2004

This is a good program if you are going to a foreign country and would like to know a few words. But, each language is very limited. There is words like Thank you, you're welcome, yes, no, etc. I would reccomend this program for people who like to explore new languages, like me. But don't plan on learning a new language with this program. I suggest getting a book or a program that teaches just the language you would like to learn. But, not a bad price for just $20.
