Instant Immersion French Levels 1, 2 & 3 [Old Version]

Thanks, I like the program is easy to learn and dynamic, would recommend it to friends. Used very well on the iPhone and I can run or do other activity and learn

It looks new enough but I cant get it to play on any device.

Im not impressed. Im not impressed. Im not impressed. Im not impressed. Im not impressed. Im not impressed. Im not. For some reason this review does not respnd to me pressing the submit button. Is this because you do not like my evaluation? Or is my computer on the fritz?

I bought this because I am traveling to France for vacation.

I got this as a gift for my girlfriend and she is hooked on it. Shes taken French in school and was brushing up on her fluency. Needless to say, shes hooked. Cant get her away from it. Plays for hours at a time. I also have Spanish and Chinese and find them to be extremely helpful and useful in learning the languages. Pennies on the dollar compared to Rosetta Stone and just as good.

I really have learned a lot from this program and I havent spent that much time on it, because I dont have much time. I turn the speaking portions on and just listen, after I have quickly gone through the lessons, then challenge myself to try to remember just from hearing it over and over. Its hard, but it works. For those of you who havent much time, try it.

Should have read the fine print as this product does not function properly with Windows 7. Partway through Level 2, the PC reported problematically huge memory use (my PC has 9 GB RAM)! While playing and recording my pronunciation, the machine repeatedly stopped functioning rendering the program useless beyond that point. Each disc is a separate program to be installed and that disc must be inserted to run the program. Very old fashioned style graphics and interface. Learned some vocabulary but thats about it. It may play better on a Windows XP machine.

I absolutely detested this course. The most annoying thing was watching the characters on the screen move their mouths completely out of sync with the words being spoken. It was like watching that 80s character, Max Headroom. I like Max, but I dont want him trying to teach me French.

This is not a coherent language course. Rather it is a collection of random bits of old software, some dating back as far as 1996, thrown into a box. Not all of the disks work on my mac. The ones that do work seem to offer little more than vocabulary lists and quizzes. I didnt try all the disks because the ones that I did try seemed to be pretty much a waste of time. (To study vocabulary I would rather read a book than plod through clunky old software.) And the package as a whole seems to be a waste of money. There are much better french learning resources available for free online. Im giving it two stars instead of one because there might be something useful on some of the disks that I didnt try after giving up.

Excellent cds
