 Won't run on a Vista Machine December 31, 2007

I bought this a couple years ago and never got around to using it. Today I installed it on my new Vista machine and it doesn't run on Vista.
Absolutely terrible. January 8, 2007

An unorganized mashup of goofy games that do nothing but possibly slightly reinforce your existing knowledge of Spanish. I don't see how they expect someone with no Spanish speaking ability to learn anything with these CDs.
If you're looking to learn Spanish, go elsewhere. Waste of money.
 Fun and Entertaining, but does it deliver on its promise to teach Spanish? May 27, 2006

To tell you a little about my background, I am the editor of the
Learning Spanish Products Reviews (LearningSpanishProductsReviews)
"your site for free Spanish lessons and unbiased reviews of Learning-Spanish products." I am also a native Spanish instructor. In addition, I am the author of two learning-Spanish products offered here at Amazon:
1. Anna Rivera's 1000 Plus Most Powerful Spanish Words
2. Anna Rivera's 800 Plus Most Powerful Spanish Phrases
This is a fun, entertaining, and informative tool that you can use to supplement your learning. It has lots of content for the price. The product not only consists of audio CDs but also CD-roms (software). The software has an interface that will allow you to practice Spanish regardless of your native language. The software can be installed so that the interface will appear in "American" (although I didn't know American is a language) Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and even Spanish.
The software also features several exercises using picture/word association, pick-the-right-word, fill-in-the-blank, mystery phrases, crossword puzzles, and dictation. There is also a useful glossary with over 8,000 words. Some of the other features of this software are a progress chart, spoken error tracking system, and 3D phonetic animation. The product also contains an abundance of material for beginners, intermediate level students, and even the advanced.
Despite the fact that this software has lots of games, exercises and a great deal of content, you may be disappointed in this software if your sole purpose for buying it is to quickly and efficiently learn how to speak Spanish. The method used in Instant Immersion Spanish Deluxe is not one of the most effective ways to learn Spanish. But if you are using another course to learn Spanish, and you simply want to find another product to supplement your learning or break the monotony that often results from using one learning method, then this product can be a great addition to your list of learning-Spanish resources.
I should also advise you that some of the speakers are apparently from Spain. But I don't consider this a drawback of the software because I think that at times it can be interesting to learn from Spanish speakers from different parts of the world.

i know no spanish even though my father is mexican. i bought this to help me learn...wel i am almost through the first less ion and am having problums so its not really for beginers. it askes you to finish and questtion and place in the missing word and such but to say the sentence as fast as them and correctly is not possable if you dont know the language well enough so its crap. the idea behind it is good but how they go about teaching you is messed up.
Do NOT buy this February 7, 2006

This program is very difficult to use, as well as learn from. i've taken 2 years of spanish, and found this program to be NOT useful at all for learning spanish, continuing to learn spanish or even as a fun program to brush up your spanish. The program itself is not intuitive, and there are no installation directions. My recommendation is to find something else or go to a class.
