Tell Me More is a great product for language learning. It teaches the way you learned your language, speaking then doing the grammar. It teaches you by looking at things, doing workbook exercises for those workaholics out there, and you actually SPEAK the language. You can't expect to be able to speak the language fluently without, well, SPEAKING IT!!!!! T.M.M covers the speaking and listening part of the language really well. I know that some people are like "This is horrible for beginners... bla bla bla". This used to be a problem but know they have a program with a COMPLETE BEGINERS level. There's your promblem solved. Although I used Tell Me More Italian, I guarentee this software will work the same way. It's so worth it!

I bought this software on Amazon and was curious after I read some of the reviews here, so I decided to call Auralog and ask them questions. They were on the phone with me for more than 45 minutes, answering all my questions. They sent me a Quick Start Guide that is very helpful at the beginning. For instance, it shows that at the beginning, in the dialogue activity, there are no right or wrong answers it is a matter of looking at the translations and hearing the Spanish sounds, to get familiar with Spanish. After that, other activities will reuse these words to reinforce the learning, and then you can actually speak these using the microphone they provide. They also have technical support available, I did not need it as my Spanish course is working great on my PC. I really appreciated their time to walk me through the software. I am very happy about my purchase as I feel I am progressing more and more every day, which is great as I never learnt Spanish before. The software itself is very nicely designed and has a lot of different activities, making it very fun to learn, even at my age.
 Terribly Disappointed September 27, 2006

I bought this based on the comments I seen here and I guess I shouldve listened to the few who didnt like it, because im one of them. First off, the flash interface is very slow. I spend more time looking at that little loading clock than anything else. Sometimes when it locks up and I close the program, it makes everything on my PC delayed. This only happens when the flash program in TMMS locks up. I started with the beginners CD, which is far from that. I have all 3 Pimsleur programs (great stuff) so I have a grasp on Spanish, and I still didnt know half the words in the beginners CD. And nothing actually teaches them to you. It throws words at you without telling you what they mean so you constantly have to hit the translate target symbol to check, and wait for it to load each time. How frustrating! This is a terrible way to try and memorize anything. Next, it doesnt tell you whether you are right or wrong. You have to go back to the welcome page to see the % you got right of the whole lesson. So theres no way to tell which particular ones you got wrong in each lesson. I went into options and checked "make sound for right/wrong answer" but theres no sound for right/wrong so I dont yet know its use. In the dialogue mode it shows you a pic, asks a question, then you pick the answer. No matter what I pick it just highlights green and moves to the next question. Leaving you to scratch your head whether you got it right or not. To test it, one question was "Do you have long hair?" and it shows a girl with very long hair. I answered "No, my hair is very short." It highlights green and goes to the next question. What the???? At least highlight in red or something, give me a clue here! Then one section actually expects you to conjugate and write these words without even knowing what they mean and without any prior lessons on the different ways to spell them. The manual that comes with it is horrible, it only explains the install, which really needs no explaining because it was easy but I understand it needs to be in there, and the 3 modes of learning. Thats it. The in-program help is fairly nice, but once again, waiting for it to load and the slowness makes it something you dont care to use. My PC is far past the reccomended requirements to run this program and yet it runs like a turtle. This program teaches very little, if anything. I wish I had saved my money.
 Highly recommend August 15, 2006

I bought this software after reading several reviews on the web and highly recommend it. Indeed, I had tried Rosetta Stone and other methods before, and this software is much better. I really liked the fact that there were so many different exercises. When I started, the translation icon was really useful, as well as the other icon which highlights words/sentences so you can listen to them, get the translation, and even pronounce them. I was very frustrated with other software as I could not get the translation. We created one account for each family member and are now all in the process of learning Spanish
