 Good introduction to various languages. Aug 23, 2005
By baligathi
I was looking around the five dollar section at my pc store when I spotted this program. My thinking was that I would like to listen to various languages of the world and learn how they sound like. I had no intent on studying this program, because I knew better that any program with multi-languages only provide a brief introduction to each language.
My guess was right. You get what you pay for. However, what you get is pretty cool. You get to listen to a lot of languages, and learn a few cool words here and there. Yes, it gets repeptitive and even boring. However, all you have to do is switch to the next language!
Overall, a pretty good program. It could have been better, yes. But it does a good job on what it intends to do: give a very brief introdution to 51 world languages.

 WASTE OF MONEY (even though I only paid $9.99) Apr 14, 2006
By A Reader
This is awful. You don't learn any real sentences nor do you learn anything about grammmar. All you learn are some VERY basic vocabulary words (yes, no, hello, etc). Oh, and a bunch of differnt kinds of food. You wouldn't have a clue how to string any of them together into a phrase, though! It's too simple to be of any use. Also, in my opinion, the program's male & female speaker often pronounce things rather differently, which is confusing (especially for tonal languages where intonation is very important). I could go on but I'll end with one more major problem: In languages that require a different ending to be added onto words depending on the speaker's gender, the program doesn't indicate that, rendering it useless for those particular languages (e.g., Thai). You can learn way more for free on the internet!

awful!! Feb 05, 2006
By unhappy customer
I had bought a program in the past that had 51 languages and it offered a rather basic beginner's level phrase book introduction, complete with full dialogues written and spoken. Having lost that program and seeing this, I thought it was worth buying... WRONG!!! This only offers a VERY few select words but with no context what so ever- not even one complete sentence... Complete utter waste of money...

 I beg to differ Dec 06, 2006
By The Publisher
"Topics Entertainment"
Listen, with all due respect to the reviews listed below - they obvioulsly have too much time on their hands to complain about a $10 product. Think about it - it's FIFTY-ONE languages. How much do you think they are going to cram into 1 small box & on 3 CD-ROM's. It's an introductory program containing samples lessons from the full versions (Talk Now / World Talk). The idea being, if you like the way this program teaches you, & want to continue down this path, then pick up the more expensive ($29.99) full version of the product. Try it for yourself is my advice. Did I mention that the manufacturer of this product also has a money back gaurantee? That's right, if you don't like it you can return it. Now I don't know about you, but I have a hard time listenting to anyone go on a rant about how they spent $10 and didn't get their money's worth. The pakage detail is pretty descriptive & tells you upfront what you're getting. If it isn't what you though it was, then send it back.

Fun, but not useful. Dec 17, 2007
By Bibliophile
"Amused, but only briefly"
The interface is good and the concept is great, but you can't actually learn a language from this -- not even enough to get by if you're just visiting a country on vacation. You get foods and very basic yes, no, thank you, etc. For language lovers who just want to hear a bit of 51 different languages, it's fun, but if you really need to speak and understand at the most basic level I would recommend a "Teach Yourself" language book. Spend a month or two studying one of those and you'll actually be able to get by in a foreign country while on vacation.
