 Rating:  - Is this software good for anything besides improving listening comprehension and pronunciation?To tell you a little about my background, I am the editor of the Learning Spanish Products Reviews (LearningSpanishProductsReviews) "your site for free Spanish lessons and unbiased reviews of Learning-Spanish products." I am also a native Spanish instructor. In addition, I am the author of two learning-Spanish products offered here at Amazon: 1. Anna Rivera's 1000 Plus Most Powerful Spanish Words 2.

You have to buy a separate product for that. - I wanted to learn some basic things like numbers and days of the week and could find no way to do that. - The lessons seem to be totally random - nothing builds on previous lessons and there seems ... Read More Rating:  - GREAT FOR IMPROVING SPANISH PRONUNCIATIONI like this program for its onboard pronunciation section available in almost all parts of the program. While wearing headphones with a microphone, one can hear a native speaker say a word or phrase, say it yourself, and have it immediately compared with a graphic display and analog meter for pronunciation accuracy.
