Learn Spanish Now! 10.0

Transparent Language has developed a unique home learning product that offers plenty of contextual learning material for beginners who are ready to develop their Spanish fluency. In other words, this product is suitable for Beginners, but not for Complete Beginners.

The headline for Learn Spanish Now! 10.0 is Learn to use Spanish in context through video immersion!, and indeed it offers lots of "Big Picture" video, but it also has dozens of BYKI Pod Audio mp3 files, so it's worth having an iPod or mp3 player if you purchase this product.

It's worth noting also that Before You Know It, software that teaches you words and phrases for maximum retention is now integrated right into Learn Spanish Now! 10.0.

However, the best feature of this product is that it offers Interactive Conversational Practice. This will allow you to practice your spoken Spanish using prompts and integrated speech features; you can record your voice and replay the whole conversation with the lines you've recorded. This is an effective way to condition yourself to respond correctly in Spanish without thinking about it, just like you do in English.

Learn Spanish Now! 10.0 is available as an Electronic Download for either Windows or Mac users, but can also be purchased as a Boxed Shipment with the files on a special Windows/Mac hybrid CD-ROM.
