Description:

Berlitz Spanish is based on the Berlitz Method, which has been around for 120 years. This program provides native speakers, real-life dialogues, and will help you learn to acquire the Spanish language at a rapid rate.

Features:

• Native speakers used throughout.
• 12 in-depth units.
• Learn at your own pace.
• Quizzes and puzzles.

Technical Aspects:

No installation problems occurred with this title, and we had th runtime, either. The graphics are bright, but not particularly inspiring, and the speech is very clear. The native speakers slow down quite a bit to make it easier to understand. The interface is smooth and easy to navigate.

Report and Conclusions:

The content in Berlitz Spanish is excellent. There are interactive activities, progress reviews, and speech recognition technology allows students to record and compare their voices to the native speakers. There are even learning tips, pronunciation guides, cultural notes and the 12,500 vocabulary words in the dictionary.

We're really enjoying this program! And I remembered more of my college Spanish than I thought I would.
