4 out of 5 stars Not a bad learning tool   January 11, 2007

Well, you will learn basic Japanese if you don't die laughing at the second rate graphics first. OK, you aren't paying much for it, and it really is a good deal for the money, but wow. I haven't seen graphics like that since 1995.

That aside, I have a couple of the language programs offered by this company and they all follow the same formula. You will recieve two disks. On one is a pie chart with clickable "slices." It is divided up into categories of various basic words and phrases in the language (colors, animals, common items, people, travel, etc.). You will go through the sections of the chart hearing the words spoken, then speaking them back into a microphone and taking a quiz about each section. You can listen to yourself and compare your pronunciation with that of the person on the screen. It's a really beneficial exercise - trust me. You don't know how terrible you sound until you hear it played back! When you take the quiz there are two people on either side of the screen who ask you the questions and kind of act like your cheerleaders. It's worth the money just to see them in action - truly.

The next disk takes you up to complex phone conversations at which point they abandon the silly clip art and have pictures of the people you're "talking to." The formula is basically the same. You hear it spoken and speak it back. You can play the phrases again and again until you get it right.

It isn't the most elegant thing in the world, but they've packed a lot of language into this thing for the price. If you're toying with the idea of picking up another language this will make a good introduction for you.

This software only has two CD's and it is so cool! The first one is Talk Now and it teaches you the basics. The second CD is Talk More and it is so awesome! I really love this software because it's very cool!

Sayonara!
