Spanish for Beginners cd-rom

CD-ROM CONTENT

Topics covered:

Games (or exercises):

Speaking games: record yourself saying words and sentences, then compare your pronunciation with a native speaker's.
Listening games: identify the word or picture that we're talking about in Spanish.
Reading games: link a Spanish word or sentence with its English translation.
Writing games: type in words or numbers that you hear in Spanish, and you get feedback on your answer.
Against the clock games: many of those games are played against the clock, so you have to be quick!
All games in our cdrom include many of the Spanish words and/or sentences you've learned so far, not just those from the last lesson.
Play the games over and over again - the Spanish words and sentences that come up are different every time you play them.

Record your own voice and play it back:

The tape recorder can be found on all the lessons. You can use it to practice saying the Spanish words and sentences you're learning, and to compare your pronunciation with a native Spanish speaker's.
You can record up to 30 seconds at a time, as many times as you want.
You can also record yourself in the speaking games, where you say the Spanish words and sentences on the screen and then compare your pronunciation with a native Spanish speaker's.
All speaking games are played against the clock, so you have to come up with the right Spanish word or sentence in a limited time, which gets shorter as you progress but is generous at the beginning.
You need a microphone to use the tape recorder, and to record yourself in the speaking games.

Talking Spanish-English English-Spanish dictionary:

Our cdrom contains an interactive talking dictionary with over 800 illustrated Spanish headwords, all of them with example sentences in both English and Spanish.
All the Spanish words and sentences in our dictionary have sound, and you can listen to them over and over again.
There are entries for both English and Spanish words.
The Spanish sound in this dictionary has been recorded exclusively by Spanish native speakers.
This dictionary has an advanced search button which allows you to find words even if you are unsure of the correct Spanish spelling, including accents.

Reviewing what you've learned so far:

Review lessons: every twelve lessons you concentrate on reviewing what you've learned so far, rather than learning new Spanish words and sentences.
Personal notepad: this cdrom allows you to type in about 1700 words in your personal notepad. The contents of this notepad get automatically saved onto your hard disk, so you can consult it at any point, even in later sessions. You can add notes to it, or delete them, whenever you wish.
