76 languages of the world and 25 vocabs lists
Caveat Emptor, as usual for these types of products. Learning a foreign language well is a major undertaking that takes a lot of work and time. This product claims to allow you to explode through the language barrier for any of these languages. I never believed the hype (I hope no one does!), but I did want to be able to hear some Bemba language and get a few words of bemba vocabulary - too bad for me, AFTER opening the package you find out that 76 languages are included in their interface with audio and phrases, 25 languages only have vocabulary flash cards ("vocabulary of the world") and no audio! Bemba, that I couldnt find in other language learning aids, was, unfortunately for me, one of the unspoken languages. If you are interested in learning a major language, such as Spanish or Thai, there are better products. If you are considering getting this product because you are interested in getting some exposure to an obscure language like Bemba, Maori, Samoan, make sure it is one of the "Languages of the world" and not one of the "vocabulary of the world" langauges, because these scammers make it so can not tell until you open the package.

Pure Garbage
Like everyone else is saying, this is absolute garbage and the company is trying to scam you by posting bogus 5-star reviews on Amazon. All products by Transparent Language are basically a 10-page piece of text spoken aloud by a native speaker. To lay the foundations of your language learning they use short, useless help files (a one-page list of the letters of the alphabet and a very sparse introduction to the different parts of speech) and nothing else. If you pay a single penny for this you'll regret it.

quantinty but not quality
I am a native speaker of Polish and my wife is American. We tried the speach recognition feature in our native tongues. We barely made it in our native languages into the beginnig of yellow and sometimes not even that. This feature one has to take with a grain of salt. <
>The program only has 76 languages with pronounciation. The remaining 25 are only vocabulary collections without any speach recordings. <
>There is some translation mistakes in Polish version but not very many. <
>The lessons are a little bit chaotic in their structure. I suspect they made an abridged version of their more extensive single language programs. In general it is not a bad tool for somebody planning a trip to a country and would like to acquire some basic vocabulary along with spelling and different alphabets. I would not get depressed if one cannot get the pronounciation right - even native speakers are unable to accomplish that. And for the price of under 20 bucks, one cannot ask for perfection.
