Product Description:
Shipping Newer Version. Learn to speak Spanish through complete immersion. The Euro Method is an easy and simple way to learn to speak a second language. Based on the same techniques that allow a 4-year-old child to speak a language long before that same child can read or write, the Instant Immersion Spanish CDs teach users to speak Spanish quickly. The software provides interactive lessons that truly immerse users in the language. The two CD-ROMs enclosed are from EuroTalk, a European publisher of language-learning software. Talk Now! and World Talk will take users from beginning to intermediate levels using fun and easy-to-follow methods. Talk Now! Spanish is designed for beginners who want to start learning a new language as soon as possible. Whether on a business or vacation trip, or even when meeting a foreign visitor, Talk Now! is the CD to use. By hearing and practicing authentic everyday speech, the user's natural ability for language will develop. The EuroTalk CDs are designed to be fun. The program uses quizzes, games, and stories to help reinforce the lessons learned. The second CD-ROM, World Talk Spanish, is the next level up from Talk Now! and goes on to the next stage with new activities, added dictation, and a new recording section. Topics covered include the calendar, building sentences, asking directions, and using numbers. With the recording feature, users can hear and compare their voices with those of a variety of native speakers. b Shipping Newer Version

Amazon.com Review:
While it's true that no better vocabulary-acquisition method exists than tried-and-true flash cards, they need not be of the paper variety. Instant Immersion Spanish is one solution: a set of four CD-ROMs that will take some of the pain out of learning new Spanish words simply by being quite a bit more fun than flash cards. In addition, the package includes the "Who Is Oscar Lake?" CD-ROM, a kind of interactive story game where different people give you clues to a mystery you must solve--all in Spanish. This will be entertaining for anyone who has had about a year of Spanish already, kids and adults alike.

The software package includes two other skill-level-dependent CD-ROMs. For absolute beginners, you'll start with the "Talk Now!" CD-ROM and learn basic words contextually for colors, food, numbers, and basic phrases. You hear the Spanish pronounced while an image of the concept is shown. Most teachers actually prefer this, so that students associate the Spanish sounds and words directly with a concept rather than the English translation. Intermediate students will start with the "Word Talk Spanish" CD-ROM, which has a variety of games to practice vocabulary and a few more dialogues; you can also take dictation exercises or use your computer's microphone to repeat after the audio and compare your pronunciation to the recording. (It's painful, we know, but it helps.) The fourth CD-ROM is "Webster's New World Five Language Talking Dictionary"--a nice perk for pronunciation practice but not a real replacement for your handy Collins Gem.

Caveats: First, the various CD-ROMs are not truly sequential, so do not necessarily expect to graduate from the beginning and intermediate CD-ROMs to the Oscar Lake game. Second, the software is no ersatz for a competent Spanish teacher and loads of homework, so do not expect similar results. The pedagogical approach here does not emphasize student production of Spanish, either in speech or writing, so you will learn more to recognize spoken and written words and phrases than to speak or write them yourself. Overall, however, Instant Immersion Spanish is a strong and, above all, affordable vocabulary-building resource--and it will take the doldrums out of memorizing new words. --Erik Macki

Amazon.com Product Description:
In Europe, it's no secret that the vast majority of people are either bilingual or trilingual. The Euro Method is the easy and simple way so many Europeans learn to speak a second language. Based on the same tried-and-proven techniques that allow a four-year-old to learn to speak a language long before that same child can read or write, the Instant Immersion Spanish package is guaranteed to be the best method for learning to speak Spanish quickly. For years, linguists have known that an immersion environment is the absolute, fastest way to learn a second language--the concept is based on being surrounded by native speakers and new culture. Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to spend six months in Spain or Mexico, so the Instant Immersion method is the next best thing.

In this easy-to-follow boxed set, you get four CD-ROMs, with each one complementing the others. The first two CDs are from EuroTalk, the leading publisher of language-learning software in Europe. The other two, Talk Now and World Talk, will take you from beginner to an intermediate speaker faster than any other language-learning software on the market, and all the while, they are fun and easy to follow. The Webster's Five-Language Talking Dictionary is a real-time, pop-up dictionary that allows translation from English to French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Dutch. Finally, to round out the immersion experience, Who is Oscar Lake? is a fun and challenging interactive language-learning mystery game.

- Stunned at its distribution.
I have this software as well as several other language learning titles from the same company. They were everywhere, bookstores, Costco, Amazon, you name it. Somewhere in my mind I associated that great distribution with quality and bought the whole lot together when I found them on sale.

Firstly, the software is poorly written and causes a lot of problems with new computers and newer versions of Windows. The audio and visual programs are strangely poor considering there are so many ... Read More

- Unbiased opinion - this package is a tease
The software seems ok to give you a bite of spanish but I'm disappointed to say I wanted alot more. I've already mastered the audio cd's in 2.5 weeks and I need more and hoped for alot more. Does anyone recommend something that will teach spanish well on audio for the money ?

- Needs to update software
You cannot listen to these CD roms with your headset on your PC. Your can listen to this program on your PC speakers. I emailed the company and they could not help me. They told me they always use this program with their PC speakers. You mean within this company no one has ever tried to listen this program with headphones on their PC.
I purchased this set to use at work on my computer.
This program still can be ran on windows 3.11. Windows 3.11 was kicked out the door by windows 95. This ... Read More

- Not Useful
I have an employee who only speaks Spanish and I bought this hoping to pick up enough words to communicate on the most basic level. What sold (suckerd?) me into buying the set was the Webster's Talking Dictionary. My misunderstanding was that I could type in an English word, get the Spanish equivalent and an audio rendition of its correct pronunciation. Not so. All I got it to do was pronounce the English word, which I wasn't interested in hearing, with a group of letters arranged into Spanish words ... Read More

- Disappointing
I was extremely disappointed with this product. The first disc teaches only a few nouns. It contains almost no verbs, adverbs, pronouns, adjectives, etc. The second disc is nothing but dialouge that is all in Spanish with no English translations. The people talk way too fast for a beginner, and there's no way to slow the speed of the dialouge. I complained to the company about this and they basically told me that I was wrong for not liking their product. Also, the five language dictionary isn't very ... Read More
