Summary: Good Software, but the navigation is strange
Comment: Overall, I liked the software and felt as if I learned a little from it. Although upon starting the software, I was confused as far as where I should start. It give me no indication of what I should do in order or how to proceed.
Customer Rating: Summary: FINALLY A GOOD LANGUAGE SOFTWARE PROGRAM
Comment: OUTSTANDING PROGRAM. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN COMMUNICATING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IS PRONUNCIATION. THE AURALOG VOICE RECOGNITION IS STATE OF THE ART.
Customer Rating: Summary: Don't buy it don't buy it don't buy it
Comment: I have a slightly different version (DELUXE v2.0), but reading one of the reviews, it looks like there are no appreciable differences. Fortunately for me, it was cheap.
My main complaint is the terrible interface. It's impossible to figure out where to begin. You try doing the "dialogue", and it starts talking at you in japanese and asks you to pick an appropriate response, which is impossible unless you have already studied Japanese enough to understand what they are saying. The other modes are similar. There is a "Reference" mode, which rushes through all of the grammatical rules way too fast for you to actually learn anything. You can't even look anything up unless you already know how to write and read the Japanese character sets. It doesn't show the romanzied version of words. There's a non-functional "Video" icon in my version too.
So it won't work for beginners because it doesn't actually teach you anything. MAYBE if you already knew some Japanese and wanted to test your knowledge, it would be good. I was hoping it would help me integrate knowledge of written with spoken Japanese, but that doesn't seem to be working out. Oh well. At least I didn't pay $175 for it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great for my classes and students
Comment: I am a Japanese teacher at a community college and use this software TeLL me More in my classes. I also recommend it to my students as I believe it is very well structured and the only good software out there. Also, I happen to be Japanese and feel pretty confident talking English, I was very shocked why the other review mentions that Japanese people cannot talk English as I believe I am succesful at doing it, so immersion works!
Also, the speech recognition works great, it can even tell you within a sentence which word you did not pronounce right. I use that part as a a complement of my classes, having all my students sit down in the lab and pronounce the words. Overall, it is a great learning tool
