GBGreat German lessons! More than 40 years ago I studied German in college. I only wish Fluenz had been around then! Recently, I spent several weeks going through Fluenz German 1 before our recent trip to Germany to relearn the language. It was a very pleasant experience and I felt I really learned a lot in a short period of time. I wanted to be able to speak the language to some degree because we were doing a driving vacation and going to small towns where English might not be spoken...or at least not spoken well. It paid off! I was very conversational. Fluenz is a great product! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn a new language.

GBTrouble with Spoken Portions of Sessions in French 3 I just started French 3 and I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the spoken portions of the sessions. I understand this may be what we will hear when listening to native speakers, but it's almost impossible to get through a session. I went through 1 and 2 with very little trouble and I can understand what I learned from them when listening to any source of material. I watch and listen to videos on the web for listening practice.

GBGreat experience compared to Rosetta Stone I have tried both programs and I found Fluenz to be the best by far to teach myself Italian. I used Rosetta Stone to see how their program worked, I found myself lost after just a few chapters. I would highly recommend Fluenz to anyone wanting to learn a new language. Fluenz is a well thought out program that eases you into the new language.

GBDid not work well in China online I tried to use Learn Mandarin in China, specifically Qindao and had both performance problems and an inability to set it up to learn Chinese characters. Now that I'm back in the US, I'll try again, but it was sure a let down not to be able to use the learning while I was in China for 2 months.

GBVery helpful to me. This is by far a better method of teaching as opposed to ( Rosetta Stones). I regrated buying Rosetta after a few weeks. Experiencing like i didn't learned much, and their methods were not very helpful. It would be nice if you can communicate with others live people. But not a big deal.
