Pros: None

Cons: Cost; Lack of real language; No grammar

This product is a complete waste of money. There is almost no authentic language. Instead, in some early lessons completely useless words are taught, most likely because the designers happened to have a good photograph of the item nearby. You cannot... search for a particular word, let alone a theme (food, transport, work, etc.) There is no presentation of grammar, even to the extent that important - and common - constructions are omitted entirely because they cannot be presented with a picture. This product is SNAKE OIL! (The entire marketing campaign - that the software allows you to learn a second language the same way you learned your first - is based on a lie. Adults are simply incapable of absorbing a second language the way a child does.) Read more Less
