Advantage Language

There is a nice alternative to other, more popular, published language methods. Advantage Language makes a software program to study Spanish, French, Italian or German. It comes with all the bells and whistles of other programs - audio and text, a variety of exercises to test your knowledge, dialogues, cultural information, etc. It even comes with additional audio CDs, dictionary software, a microphone (for use with the voice recognition parts of the program) and lots of other extras.

I like the content of the program, it's the kind you can begin to use right away as you learn it. There is another feature that I like that I haven't seen any other publisher doing. If you order the full 4-level program, you will receive 1 level each month. This seems very simple but it's a powerful motivator to complete and master each level in time for the next level to arrive. They will work with you if you want to put off receiving the next one, but I think it's great foresight to design a method with a specific time-frame to shoot for.

Look for my upcoming full-page review on the site, or for more information, go to
