what will Level 1 do for me? I can't find anything that tells me if Level 1 is sufficient for learning some Italian just for the fun of it.

Hi, Timmy: You should be able to learn from Level 1 Italian to get by. Although I think it would be easier had there been English along with the lessons which are mostly pictures and the oral Italian phrases and sentences with each picture. Not what I expected.

A couple of thoughts on this question. 1st. Do you have the time it takes to sit and learn? This is probably the best method I have ever encountered, but I lived in Italy for 5 years and had a working grasp of words and phrases before I bought the lesson. The short answer is yes it will help, but after using this a full emersion will be benificial as well. Find someone at a local university who will sit down and have a conversation with you in the chosen language..after you have taken the classes. The subtle nuances and accents are more than helpful. The Italians also use a lot of slang words that this will not have, but can be learned from someone familiar. A couple of thoughts on this question. 1st.

No mi amigo, el que venden en Estados Unidos y Europa solo viene en voces y subtitulos en ingles y frances, el que viene en espaol latino es el especfico para latinoamerica, una sea que he visto (tengo las dos versiones) es que el que est en ingles dice en la caratula "only on Playstation", mientras que el espaol latino obviamente dice lo mismo pero en espaol.

I don't know this CD wasn't up to my standards on Spanish because this was too basic for me to. I instead opted for a different program. In my opinion Fluenz Spanish is a good one. I'm sorry that this didn't officially answer your question. Best of Luck!

1. Ours came with 15 months of online access. I'm not sure why you got only 3. 2. You look on their schedule and pick the earliest available time. Sometimes that's in a day or two, and sometimes it's not until a week or two away. I don't know about doing it more often, since we actually never got around to doing this. 3. I loved the online games, but I rarely played them against other people. As far as I know, you can't speak to the other players. I just remember trying to identify things more quickly by typing their names. Mostly I played on my own. The best one for me involved listening to stories and clicking words as you heard them. The words are arranged in a grid, and you try to make a "bingo." I listened to some of the stories over and over during the course of the year, and I definitely got better at parsing what they said. Understanding came even later, but I had to begin with just making sense of this flow of unfamiliar sounds. I'm afraid I can't look up the answers for you. We came across a big downside of the program: you only get two installs for $800. So when you have two hard drive crashes (in the month before we left for Italy -- and then we got a new computer, and *it's* new drive crashed within a week!) you're out of luck. It was very frustrating to suddenly lose our program. Several times while we were in Italy, I thought of times I would have liked to look something up or practice something on RS that came up in a conversation in the real world. But, no, the company was too concerned that we would give it away to all our friends, so we couldn't use it anymore after the computer trouble.

They're both nicely challenging so, no matter which one you'll start, you'll still be adjusting to it for a while until you'll be able to get through the whole thing. So it won't really matter. They're more similar than they are different. Good luck!

there is no effects on the l1, so you will also need some kind of effects for your vocals. I use an alesis pico verb with a lowz to high z cable.

Yes ... I solved all but 5 of the 200 levels on my own ... but was stuck on a few of them so I searched for some solutions ... here are two great websites with pictures and text solutions for all of the levels. Don't give up too soon .. but if stuck they can get you moving again. Both sites are in German, but you can figure the solutions out either using the pictures or using a website translator. Good Luck.http://home.tiscali.de/troll/cm/index.htmlhttp://www.cm-fanpage.de/board/index.php

Yes I'd consider it a beginners level....we purchased it for our 14 yr old. He enjoyed Nerf guns and then the UZI.

This is a delightful toy sends the adults potty but the kids love it. As to speaking Portuguese I have no idea!! I sent it to my grand daughter in Canada who has English as her firstlanguage. If Amazon - USA has no idea try the manufacturer I have found most of them to be very helpful. Let me know how you get on. Regards - Carol Froom.

The manual is only in Spanish! if it were in English it would also be in several other languages, but not this one! It will only be helpful to someone studying Spanish if they are already fluent in Spanish! otherwise they will have no clue as to it's operation and will be unable to use it

This is a tough question to answer because both MY 9 year old and my sisters 9 year old are VERY bright......but HER kid can do some of the advanced levels and my kid sometimes has a hard time with level A! LOL!!!!! Coming from me.......I would order LEvel-A.......get everyone 'on board' and go from there. They are SO MUCH FUN and make you think in a bit of a different way. After your kid figures out a bunch......then I'd go to the back and let them do harder A's.....then get the next level. :)

Hi, I would not recommend skipping the level, its always recommended to gradually increase the level. So, I would suggest to go to Level 2 for atleast a month or two so that she can adjust to it, and then move on to level 3.

Roy, I believe it's download only. However, I am away for a few weeks so I can't give you an exact answer. I would check the kit, if I was at home. I really got a lot out of the interactive portion. Most of the Italian's that we encountered, except for the train station in Rome, were friendly and very willing to speak English. You might be very frustrated with the dialup. Also, be sure you have enough RAM to hold this program. I learned that lesson the hard way. It won't download, if there's not enough memory, or whatever is needed. I'm not too proficient with computer stuff. So you may want to consult with a second person. Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time in Italy. Roy, I believe it's download only.

I'm pretty sure you can install it on multiple computers. I only tried it on one. While the program ran just fine, I was disappointed with the method of learning so I no longer used it. It focused only on memorizing words and phrases. It didn't focus at all on grammar. Unfortunately, it was a high price to pay just to be disappointed with the program's teaching method.

I think the safe answer is to call costumer support, they have been very helpful every time I needed assistance and they have different products for different needs. I my opinion this is the best program for learning any language and I had quite a few.
