 There must be a better bang for your buck.Aug 05, 2003
I bought this software on the recommendation of some software review site, and I must say my 9 year old daughter and I were disappointed. The graphics are sometimes hard to make out on the screen. (The animation altogether isn't very appealing at all, but that's not why I bought it . . . )And my daughter kept repeating, "But I want to learn sentences!" It's just an okay introduction if you want to learn the names of fruits and vegetables.

So-so for the moneyAug 14, 2005
By Imaginary One
The idea and format aren't bad. I would have liked it if there had been a few more words to learn. Also, instead of learning animal names, which aren't very useful if you don't live on a farm, they should have included some simple sentences. A little more material or a little lower price would have increased my rating to 4 stars.

 The French Section is Really GoodFeb 07, 2007
By ana
My review makes reference to the French language section ( I have not used the other ones)
I have a 7 year old, who enjoys this software a lot. I love that the sound quality is very good, and the pronuncioation is perfect. There is plenty of vocabulary to practice. I think this is a really good complement to any language program.
I believe that both,beginners and more advanced students 6-10 would enjoy and benefit from it.
Featured vocabulary: numbers, colors, animals, days, months, weather, means of transportations, clothing, and more.
Easy to use.

 Very Annoying programJul 17, 2009
By Elisabeth Boggs
I was very disappointed in this software. The voices of the animated characters are squeeky and they're annoying to watch. The image on our screen is too small. Some of the activities are too difficult for an adult (the pick a door to find the correct animal is pointless). My kids were bored quickly as was I and we learned very little. Now hunting for better software.
