I loved this software, because it wasn't short and simple. It keeps on teaching with many many lessons, whether you are a beginner or advanced. Great product as there are many out there.

This was a total disappointment to me. I was so excited to get this since I'm dying to learn Spanish. Does not help at all! If anyone is considering getting this, try Pimseluer. It's easy, fun and you don't have to be tied down to a computer to learn the language. It is on CD's so you can learn it in the car or while cleaning the house. Pimseluer uses conversations that you will really use speaking to a Spanish person. They also have other languages.

Learn to Speak Spanish 8.1 I bought this program about 5 years ago, because I was going to start working in Mexico. This program was very good in helping me learn Spanish. When you first start the program it seems ok, but you might think that it does not have that much to offer. But after a few weeks of studying, you soon find out that this program has a lot of good stuff! It has so many words, phrases, and videos! I am very happy with it and I have since traveled all through out Central and South America and all the people are very impressed that I never took a spanish course in High School or College. If you want to learn Spanish, then this is the right program to get. I even bought my wife a copy so she could start learning, and she loves it! I just wish that the same company that made this program could make programs for other languages like Farsi! You will not be dis-appointed if you buy this.
good program

This software loaded properly and was enjoyable to use. It also comes with a book guide and CD. My 4 and 5 yr. old kids and I would listen to it during breakfast time and before you knew it they were speaking several phrases on their own. The software is very nice. One feature I enjoyed was getting to "speak" with Spanish speakers through an interactive video that included multiple choice answers.
This program has many valuable features including recording and playing back your words. However, the guage that tells you how native you sound is a joke. You could completely say the wrong word in the wrong language, and it would still give you a good grade. Other than that, the program is fun and easy to use.
okay but not all it states

I am working my way through v8.1 now - I found it very hard to load & endured a long time on the help line only to be told to look on line for help - it finally loaded but I don't know how.
THe lesson plans & internet access doesn't not work , so I feel I am missing alot of the course.
Yet , it does appear to offer a well structured course.
If you are to buy this , look for a discounted price incase you suffer the same problems as me. I wld recommend it - not sure if I am learning Spanish but then that is prob due to me & NOT the course ! Best of luck.

This
4 CD set offers an in-depth learning system to achieve Spanish fluency. Features speech recognition and record/playback! Plus, it helps build speaking and listening skills using real-world conversation simulations.
Poor at $5 I can't even say I got what I paid for 2005-03-02
Wouldn’t install without a ton of personal information and spyware, then wouldn’t run properly. Also every time you try to use it your forced to endure their cheesy flash add before it freezes and fails to load the program. You need not buy any product from a manufacture like this unless of course you want to waste money.
Amazing amazing amazing 2005-01-03
I cannot stop raving about this program (though I should note that I have the more recent version, Learn to Speak Spanish Deluxe, which has considerably more content). This is my dream program, and I am a language teacher, so I know what to look for: audio for virtually every word/phrase/conversation, progressive lessons, exercises, videos, etc. etc. It is logically arranged, and covers absolutely every basic topic imaginable. It has tons of features but will not be overwhelming for someone who takes the time to get used to them. You will certainly not be sorry if you purchase this and dedicate yourself to it. I started from scratch and now feel completely at ease with a homestay that I will be doing soon in Ecuador.

I absolutely love this CD-Rom. I've always had a problem learning spanish from a book. For one, I had no clue as to how most of the words were pronounced. With this item, you see the word and hear it spoken. The coolest part is you can record yourself saying the words, and it will play it back for you and grade you on how native you sounded. Plus you can have interactive conversations! Also includes talking dictionary, cultural movies, internet lessons, progress checks, and much more. It's worth the money, and better than any other teacher who's tried to force feed this language down my throat. Move at your own pace and have fun learning for a change.
