  • Great introduction to a new language

    This is a great introduction to a new language. You can listen to native speakers and get all the nuances of the spoken language when you repeat each word. It's not a comprehensive program, but it's a good way to build some confidence and become comfortable with the language. I have the CD's in my car and listen each day during my commute. I can repeat any chapter as many times as necessary until I'm ready to move on and add new vocabulary.
