| Why are you searching for the best software for | | | | your board a few times. This is the same with |
| spanish? It's probably because you want an | | | | learning spanish: boring lectures and painful |
| easy, quick way to learn spanish that is | | | | worksheets, translations, and flash cards are not |
| somewhat fun and actually worth your time. It's | | | | going to help you learn any spanish anytime soon. |
| too bad that there is so much different software | | | | 2) The best software for spanish must be |
| out there that makes learning spanish very | | | | enjoyable for you. Trust me, I've come across |
| painstaking and boring. However, I'm about to | | | | many spanish programs that are like watching |
| show you how you can choose the best | | | | grass grow. I barely got through 10 minutes |
| software for your individual learning style to avoid | | | | before asking for my refund. So if a spanish |
| wasting your time and money as well as being | | | | software includes games, contests, exercises, |
| able to see, feel, and hear your spanish language | | | | etc... then it should almost top your list, not only |
| progress very quickly. | | | | because it will be pretty darn fun but because |
| After 100's of Google searches and more than 3 | | | | you will be able to notice progress in your ability |
| months of searching around and for the best | | | | very quickly. |
| software for spanish for myself, I realized that | | | | 3) And finally, the price MUST be reasonable. |
| there are 3 very important characteristics that a | | | | I've seen many spanish software programs out |
| spanish learning software should have. | | | | there going for $300, $400, and even up to |
| 1) It MUST be interactive. And by "interactive," I | | | | $700. That may make their perceived value |
| mean that it must require you and your brain to | | | | very high but that does not mean anything about |
| take part in the learning process whether through | | | | the actual product except that it could potentially |
| voice recognition software or by clicking on | | | | be a HUGE waste of money. However, from |
| pictures for word meanings. It MUST get you | | | | what I've seen and heard from people in the |
| involved in the learning process. Think about it, | | | | same boat as you, a few of the most effective |
| you're not going to become a great surfer just | | | | spanish learning software is available for less than |
| by reading books on surfing, you're going to learn | | | | $100 and can easily compete with the "big dogs" |
| by actually going out in the ocean and falling off | | | | charging $100's for practically the same thing... |
