Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good for Those Who Know Nothing Comment: I'm only up to lesson 11 but am learning Spanish faster than I ever thought possible. I knew NO Spanish, and was very mediocre at French in HS >30 years ago. The emphasis on listening and speaking is just what I needed, as this was the most difficult for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but has many usability flaws Comment: I purchased this after trying out the free web-based demo. The product seemed to match the way in which I prefer to learn a language, ie, start making sentences right away while simultaneously learning new vocabulary. The exercises themselves are terrific and the "tutor" is great. However, this product has MANY usability issues which, for me, rate this product a HUGE disappointment. For starters, there is no way to run this on just a portion of your computer screen. You are either running Fluenz full screen mode or you aren't, so good luck trying to multitask or monitor any other applications. Also, there is no way to install this on your PC - you MUST have the DVD loaded in your DVD drive to run the software. Not a deal killer but very inconvenient. Thirdly, there is absolutely no way to "bookmark" your current location within the lessons. As such, each time you start the software you have to find the lesson number you were last in (and they aren't named, they are simply numbered) and then you need to page through the individual "workout" sections within the lesson to find the last page you left off on. This is very cumbersome and certainly not what I expected given the $300+ price tag of the software. Finally, the "record" function within the "Speaking" lessons does not work at all on my Vista computer. The microphone installed on the machine (it is a brand new HP) works fine with every other application I have, including some e-media music software. For some reason, Fluenz can't seem to produce the sound from the microphone, even though the software itself is obviously picking up the signal from the microphone as evidenced by the on-screen sound level indicator. Support from Fluenz was completely useless on this - no explanation, no suggestions once they learned that the microphone works just fine with everything else on my PC. So I'm giving up and sending this back for a refund. No point in keeping a language learning product when one of its primary features doesn't even work!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Slick packaging Comment: I just started using it but Fluenz seems to fill gaps that other programs miss. I am not a beginner but have had trouble becoming fluent. I think Fluenz is the key. I will have to use it a bit more before making final judgment. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for Beginners!!! Comment: This course is great for anyone who has never had Spanish lessons and for anyone who is interested in not only speaking Spanish but also reading and writing Spanish. The exercises are great for reinforcement including the exercise that allows you to actually record your pronunciation. Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous program & great service! Comment: My husband and I have tried to learn Spanish a number of times over the years. We'd start out in a class and end up dropping it partially through the course. We've both stuck with the Fluenz system and learned more in the first few lessons than years of attempting to learn using other methods. I find the Fluenz method/program actually FUN and look forward to each session. I like to do one a day although they recommend twice a week. (I go back and review lessons too.) Sitting in a classroom and suffering through listening to several other people reciting and trying to learn Spanish used to drive me CRAZY! Now I have my own personal tutor and I love it! My husband accidentally messed up one of the disks and it couldn't be played. He emailed the Fluenz folks with our purchase info and problem explanation. We got a replacement disk in the mail 2 days later! I can't say enough good things about this package. It was money very well spent.
