Great for refreshing rusty knowledge,
I can see why a complete beginner would not like this software. I agree that it would be difficult for a beginner to use. The glossary and the grammar instruction are not placed in obvious locations. You end up having to ‘stumble across’ them. However, once you do find them, they are in fact pretty useful, providing pronunciation for all glossary words and useful examples of grammar. This software would definitely not offer the same benefits as a traditional beginning French class though.
As a supplement to a class, or for those who are rusty in their French, and/or who have grammatical knowledge but who have not had much experience in interacting with those who speak the language and need work on speaking and understanding, I think it’s a fantastic resource. It’s been at least 10 years since I spoke French, and I found it very helpful to me in regaining my knowledge and in improving my pronunciation. It’s a definite winner for those reasons, but it lacks ‘user-friendliness’.

|I’m returning it if that tells you anything.,
I don’t know why I gave it two stars. I guess I felt a little generous. I have been studying French for a little over 4 years and I wanted something really interactive. It’s semi-interactive but most of it is just a jumbled mess. The exercies don’t go together. There are no themes to choose from. It’s hard to learn any new vocabulary when it is all jumbled together. I wouldn’t call this instant immersion. I would call it instant confusion.

|Zero stars should be an option for this product,
This is the worst software product that I’ve ever owned, bar none!!! It has no systematic plan of instruction and it thrust the user into language tranlation situations right out of the chute, with out even the slightest preparation.
As a primer it is totally worthless. It doesn’t begin with an overview of the alphbet, nor a review of basics of French grammar, nor does it deal with the elements of sentence structure. It jumps right into conversational translation without the least bit of preparation.
If you are a beginner, steer clear of this product. It’s a waste of your time and your money. Never have I encountered a more frustrating software product. Were I the developer, I would not want my name associated with this product.
