Speak & Learn! Tagalog For Beginners (Jewel Case)

Rating:
Summary: Good learning tool to begin learning Tagalog!
Review: This is part of the Talk Now! series that is also sold in languages such as French and Spanish. This program uses a fun format to learn vocabulary such as numbers, fruits and vegetables, common words, and directions. After showing you a group of words, you then can practice your pronuniciation against the speaker's using a microphone (not included with the CD-Rom), then play easy and hard quizzes to test you on the material. It's a great first step to learn a language, and kids as well as adults will enjoy seeing all of the pictures associated with the words. Of course, this CD-Rom will not teach someone how to construct sentences, and you will need to find another program to do this for you. This CD, by the way, is also sold as one of the 5 CD-Roms of the Instant Immersion Spanish, French, etc. series. I am giving this 4 stars as I find the marketing of this CD confusing. I've seen it on Amazon.com also as Talk Now!, and as part of the Instant Immersion series. It can make it confusing to think you're getting a new product when maybe you already have it on your shelf. Since there is virtually no Tagalog CD-Roms available to learn the language, this is a very useful CD-Rom to buy.
