TalkNow! Software

[Osinskaya, Elena]

In response of Jonathan White's question about TalkNow! Software:

 

Our students for Norwegian, Turkish and Bengali (self-study program)
have used and are using TalkNow! Software for their target languages,
and the comments about the software are positive. There are two levels
to choose from - Beginning and Intermediate. I highly recommend to use
it in conjunction with textbooks, but not in place of them.

 

Best,

Elena Osinsky

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
