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

I got this software as a gift about a month ago, and let me tell you, it was one of the best gifts Ive ever recieved! The thing that most people forget is that this is not Rosetta Stone. Its called Immersion for a reason. One of the best ways for an adult to learn a language is to be surrounded by it, i.e. immersed. For me, I found the software very easy to use. I especially like the fact that I can put some lessons on my Ipod and take them with me when I go to the gym. Definitely makes working out less monotonous! I also like the DVD game. Its very fun, and my little brother even likes playing it too. So, if youre wanting to learn any language, Instant Immersion is definitely worth every penny.

I have a friend from France. She speaks several languages, and well, I only know one (English). I wanted to, yknow, impress her a bit, show her that Im more internationally minded than other people. I picked up this program and used it for a bit. I learned quite a bit of words that I didnt know before and was able to earn a smile from her, that was great.

I just purchased this and tried to run it on my relatively new MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo)

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

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?

This program isnt cohesive at all; it seems to be a bunch of programs packaged together without an overall plan. I really dont think anyone could actually learn a language from this.

I have been using this program for a week now and am totally into it. Its actually fun and amusing. I was debating buying Rosetta Stone for a few months but was nervous to spend that much money without knowing what it was like. I thought for $20 I will give Instant Immersion a try and can say now, that I would definitely pay more than $20 something dollars. It really works and is helping me remember a lot from the french lessons I took a few years ago. I have a MACbook and unlike the other review I can say that I have had no problem with this program. I have tried using workbooks and lessons and flash cards for quite some time and none of it is as effective as this has been in a matter of days.
