Don't waste your time and money on this courseApr 28, 2007
By Dr. Frans Wijma
After you install and start this application, it will literally shout at you and require you to click on various buttons (such as '?', only to learn that this provides help), as if you have never used a Windows application before. That having been said, it could certainly do more to conform to Windows standards.
The linguistic content is very primitive and of arguable value. You just learn words, which in itself can be useful. However, the choice of words is very questionable - I could think of many more useful words than 'raspberry'.
The overall presentation, largely based on animations and games, is more suited for toddlers than for adult learners. Every time you give a correct answer, you will get the same complimentary spoken comment like '...YES!'.
On a graphic design note, I do not think it is very useful to have a blonde Caucasian woman teach you a language like Malay - she is unlikely to be a native speaker.

Extremely Poor ProductSep 05, 2007
By Murray Storm
Even though it claims to run on Mac it only runs on the older Power PC Macs, it will NOT run on Intel based Mac and there is no patch forthcoming from the program writers and no response to tech support inquiries on their website.
That having been said it runs semi fine under Windows XP but the application itself is not particularly good at its stated goal of teaching you Malay.
I wouldn't waste my time with this, I know its hard to find material to learn Bahasa but this was a waste of money.
