Ole 2.0

Registration: Approx $A52 (25 pounds)
Overall value:


Ole 2.0 is a Spanish language tutor program that aims to teach travellers phrases to help them survive in Spanish-speaking countries. It is also interesting for students just learning Spanish. The seven-chapter course covers situations such as introducing yourself, finding your way around, shopping, eating out, and using the local transport.

The shareware version contains the first chapter -- how to introduce yourself and others and how to respond when someone asks your name. You practise these with written and spoken examples.

Click on the written examples to hear them spoken by a real voice with a Spanish accent. First listen, then imitate. Before you know it you'll be saying "su nombre es Manuel" (his name is Manuel). You can also click the manipulator button to hear the phrase pronounced in different ways.

The game has clear instructions and you receive the remaining chapters on registration.
The complete eight-chapter version comes in two parts on eight 3.5in disks. Both parts can be purchased together for ?25 or separately for ?15 each. Part One includes a small booklet which explains the linguistic methods used, contains a written pronunciation guide, and a full Spanish-English vocabulary of all the words used in the program.

Ole requires an Intel 386DX, Windows 3.1, 8Mb of RAM and 6Mb of hard disk space. The shareware can also be downloaded from our School PC Web page at www.schoolpc.acp.com.au
