Editorial Review: Product Description: Instant Immersion Spanish is teh set of spanish lessons you need, if you're trying to speak Spanish well AND in a hurry! It also has a dictation feature, to compare your pronunciation with native-speakers It also covers the calendar, numbers, asking directions, and other topics You'll be amazed at how much Spanish you speak in a short time! Jewel case Amazon.com Review: Early versions of language instruction software were little more than CD-ROM equivalents of lessons on audiotape. Instant Immersion Spanish, on the other hand, represents the next generation--software that exploits multimedia to its fullest in order to make learning Spanish easy and entertaining. This two-CD-ROM package starts with a simple vocabulary builder that divides words into categories--colors, foods, and body parts, for example--and then drills users on their Spanish equivalents. Instructors translate each word while providing an image to match the spoken concept. A user's memorization skills can then be tested in a handful of matching games, while pronunciation is honed by speaking the words into a microphone and contrasting with the instructors' voices. The second CD-ROM is where the immersion element comes in. Once users have learned the nouns and phrases on disc one, they are presented with a tougher challenge. While still following a basic matching-game format, instructors speak in complete sentences, requiring the learner to pick out familiar terms and work out the larger meanings of the game clues in context. Along the way, more vocabulary and some basic grammar are assimilated. Instant Immersion Spanish provides an excellent route to picking up enough "getting-by" Spanish for a Latin vacation or to supplement class study. Some users may struggle with the transition to the tough love of the second CD-ROM, but this process is a mirror of the real-world experience of going to a new country where English is not the dominant tongue. The immersion kicks the brain into high gear and accelerates language acquisition by presenting a serious challenge--all while keeping the course of study in an entertaining game format. Those new to Spanish will definitely benefit from the practice of listening for words they know. This first-rate content, combined with bright and easy-to-follow graphics, makes Instant Immersion Spanish a terrific opportunity for anyone looking to grasp the basics of speaking Spanish in as little time as possible. --Alyx Dellamonica Amazon.com Product Description: Learn to speak Spanish through complete immersion.

With the recording feature, users can hear and compare their voices with those of a variety of native speakers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good for beginnersGood program if you want to start to learn Spanish. Good value for your money! Rating:  - Great for beginners, but not for anyone beyond that.For the price, this is a good program for beginners, but not for anyone who has already learned the basics. If it cost any more, it wouldn't be worth it. It doesn't teach much else beside colors, numbers, some nouns, a handful of helpful phrases for travelers, etc. No grammer or verbs or conjugation. Rating:  - Great StarterThis cd set is a very easy and fun way to get excited about and learn some basics about the Spanish language. It is easy and effective to use for just a few minutes at a time or a longer if you want. It does teach more than nouns. It has a section on phrases. I am now happy to learn more thanks to this cd. Rating: - Wonderful! Wonderful!!Thank you so much. This Instant Immersion Spanish CD set is great. It is being used and used. Thanks again, Irene Rating:  - Only very basic instruction.This Spanish Language CD set is really very basic. It only teaches you words for things, and it never really explains itself very well. If you are looking to learn Spanish from scratch, this CD will not help very much. My mother was born in Panama. She is a native Spanish-speaker, and she is helping me to learn my Spanish now, and she has taught me alot of it. She explained to me that this CD teaches has a few mistakes in it, and furthermore, does not distinguish between the more ... Read More
