Berlitz Communicate & Connect Spanish

Summary: The Best Spanish Learning Software so far!
Review: This software is for serious learners who really wants to converse in Spanish. You can print out all the contents- conversation, vocabulary, grammar, test... It even comes with a real electronic Spanish<-> English 2-way dictionary, which is very convenient (the only software with a dictionary as far as I know). You can use the dictionary with any other Spanish learning materials. The vocabulary section is very handy- a real person pronounces the vocabulary with video. The grammar section is extremely good- regular/irregular verbs for each lesson. Even though the speed of the conversation is kind of too fast, and the recording function not as easy to set up (it does come with a trendy microphone), it is the best Spanish learning software so far. I don't really use the recording function anyway when I practice learning a language- I think it's a distraction to use the microphone. The fast conversation speed can be mended by the vocabulary section- which is short and easy to follow. Again, this software is for dedicated learners. It really worths your money! Personally, I think it's a steal.

I had tried "Learn Spanish Now"-conversation,not enough explanation"; "Instant Immersion Spanish",2 CD version, 1st CD is too easy, 2nd is too hard- no translation; "Let's Talk Spanish" (like Berlitz Spanish, is by Syracuse Language. They don't sell it anymore)-good for vocabulary but no conversation. Most other software, when compared with Berlitz Spanish, is only child's play.

Summary: JUST PERFECT!!!
Review: when I bought this software, I knew absolutely nothing about Spanish. And only by my first day of using it I had a very good information about the pronounciation, grammer, spelling and verbs that is enough to make me look forward in a less than a week to search for another products from the same Brand "Berlitz".
