TalkNow! Software

[Jonathan White]

SEELANGers,

Does anybody on the list have experience with TalkNow! language learning 
software?  I haven't touched a turnkey FL learning package like it since '96 
or so and don't know if they've improved much since, but the local computer 
store is having a sale on, of all things, TalkNow! Slovak, and I'm 
intrigued, to say the least.

Do those of you whose institutions offer self-study programs encourage your 
students to investigate products like these?  There seems to be a lot more 
software out there for LCTLs now than there was when I was an undergrad ten 
years ago, though I've no idea about its quality or effectiveness in place 
of or in conjunction with the usual Teach Yourself _____ books.

Any comments/critiques/etc appreciated,

Jonathan White
