Customer Reviews

Eurotalk Interactive's Talk Now! Finnish
A great product as far as learning things is concerned. The "easy game" and "hard game" are perfect stepping stones for each other, and if you allow your "hosts" to say each word a few times, the image presented sticks the English translation in your head. The visual appeal of the program is minimal--it's rather ugly. But the user interface is 100% intuitive and nothing is confusing in the least--graphics aren't important at all in language software!
All in all, 10 out of 10! :)

mediocre
it was pretty not great. DO NOT try to use it for Mac, doens't work right even though they say it does. the lessons are lame and the word choses are so beginner that it's hard to feel like your making any progress at all.
On the good side. the do speak slowly and clearly and what words they do have on there you can easily learn with some repation.
