Customer Reviews of Talk Now! Learn Danish - Beginning Level
Fun software This is a great little program to get introduced to Danish-- the graphics are colorful and appealing and it hardly feels like you are "studying" vocabulary. If you are trying to decide between this and the Rosetta Stone software, all I can say is they're different. EuroTalk's software is DEFINITELY more fun (also has better graphics and is more user-friendly). However, Rosetta Stone's program teaches you more sentence structure and phrases (EuroTalk's focuses mainly on single words), and also lets you type to practice spelling/listening skills. I also like the recording feature better in the Rosetta Stone one too, because it actually maps out your speech pattern against that of the native speaker, and "rates" on how closely you matched it (isn't always accurate though). Wish there was more vocabulary in each of these programs... you go through them pretty quickly. If I had to choose between the two programs........well I'd pick "Talk Now!" because it is simply more enjoyable, and it feels like I am learning much faster using it. But I'd actually recommend getting both if you can, to give you a broader education of the language. Get the "Talk Now!" first though, then go on to the Rosetta Stone one afterwards.
Good way to learn pronunciation
You should not depend on software to teach you a language. It should be used in conjunction with a good grammar book, dictionary and flashcards. The great thing about software is that you can work on your pronunciation easily. With the Talk Now series you can click on a word over and over to practice. You can also record yourself. With tapes or a CD you have to constantly back up. Again you should not depend on software to learn grammar or syntax. Use it to practice pronunciation and build vocabulary.
There is one downside with Talk Now. You will only learn about 400 words. It would have been great if they had 600 to 800. However it is affordable so its worth getting.
Needs Work.
The program is a cute, but incomplete tool for studying a language. It offers categorized quizzes and vocabulary introductions, but these are basically computer-aided flashcards.
There is no introduction to sentence structure, and only a hand full of obscure phrases.
The only unique feature is the record and playback feature that allows you to here yourself pronounce along with a native speaker.
The recorder is helpful, but I think for the price you could get a more complete understanding of Danish with a book/tape system.
