A decent learning tool for a small price

Not bad for the price paid, but if you want something really good -- you may have to pay a little more.  If you're on a small budget, this product is okay.

I was looking for more help with learning but it was good. This is what I ended up needing.  http://14e1cty-o6elq66hrkwr0daxfx.hop.clickbank.net/

The learning curve isn't so bad. They have lots of free training videos online. As a graphics professional I miss having all the shortcuts and got keys that Adobe products have.

Easy to use, well organized and students are able to adapt quickly to use it for help. Assigning only several chords at a time, the students learns them and are then moving on with greater ease than just the manual demonstrations in a class. Memory of the chord configurations appears to be retained better as well so far.

Not easy enough for super basic beginners, but adequate for a mid-level player.

Product was easy to learn and use. Screen was a little smaller than I thought it would be.

The great thing is that the setup was fairly easy and the children were able to learn and retain what they learned according to the results of the tests that were administered.  However, I would have been happier if we were able to get a cheaper price on this item, because the quality of the product did not quite warrent the price.

I speak absolutely no spanish and this was my first attempt. I chose this software because it was reasonably priced and I needed something that would help with the speaking part of it.
I found that while this software is pretty good to take someone through the basics, you definitely needed a few books to understand the grammar rules and also to enhance your vocabulary.  I used Madrigal's Magic Key to spanish and found her approach combined with this audio set pretty useful.

At the end of 2 months I find I can have a basic conversation in slow spanish.

Not a bad book for the price.  If you are currently learning to read music and need some help understanding basic symbols then this is an excellent little book.  I teach music and have run across some symbols that are not very exotic, but still somewhat hard to track down the exact meaning and for that this book has been of little use.  But it's been great for explaining and diagramming many other symbols and terminology such as "D.S. al Coda", "Compound Triple Meters", "Caesura", and a long section just on beaming.

I certainly don't regret buying this book and though I have a degree in music doesn't mean I know all there is about musical notation.  I have used this book many times to remind me of notation meanings I never knew or had forgotten, and I can usually find what I'm looking for in the index in the back of the book as long as my notational search is not too mysterious.  I often run across very old, even ancient musical symbols while teaching classical guitar, and like I stated earlier, this book won't have those in it but it has quite a bit of the modern notational symbols.

For the price, this dictionary has many features and seems fairly easy to use. It's certainly light weight and transports easily. My daughter has used it primarily for looking up meanings of words. However, if you're looking for the added benefit of the "talking" dictionary, it's OK, but not great. It's difficult to understand the mechanical/robotic-like voice as it pronounces the Spanish words very quickly. So quickly, in fact, that had I not had some understanding of the language and been able to repeat things for my daughter, she likely wouldn't get much out of it in the pronunciation arena.

I've got access to wikipedia in a million places: every computer in my house, my phone, the iPad, and it's probably somewhere on my TV that I don't even know about.  But having an offline copy is handy in two situations.  One is when I'm on a plane and don't have internet.  The other is when I've purposely shut off my internet because I'm trying to work.  In both of those situations, it's very handy to hold the entire wikipedia in a little thing the size of a deck of cards.  The screen is not perfect, but it's pretty decent for quick reference.  Battery life seems good, and the text is stored on a mini-SD card, which in theory is updatable, and I guess some people have hacked this to add e-books or other content.  (I have not tried.)  Overall, this is a useful little tool.  My only real complaint is that the price fluctuates wildly on this, so check back and it may be lower.

I agree with most of the 3-4 star reviews - while this book isn't perfect, it's a pretty decent choice for a classroom setting. I think some of the material would have been beyond me without the help of my Japanese instructors.
I also agree with those who were impressed with the lack of romaaji - my class was fast paced, and we learned all of the kana in less than a month! @_@
Anyway, this book is a good tool for learning Japanese, when mixed with good instructors and some resources of your own - for example, I made flash cards that helped a ton. However, if you're on your own, you might want to pass up this book and find something catered less to a classroom environment.

not all you need, but good to learn some basics

I got this for some self-education. I didn't feel like paying hundreds of dollars for a basic understanding of a concept I'm not familiar with. It seems to get into the weeds a little bit but it keeps it fairly simple for people who have never been exposed to economics or have forgotten anything they might have learned in school. I would recommend it for someone who would like a refresher of economics concepts or if they need an introduction to it. There's plenty of space in the margins if you want to make notes, which is a bonus for me. I'm not a big fan of writing in books but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and make notes as you go.

A great way to dabble without spending a lot of money.

This book is handy for those intermediate level Spanish speakers who want to increase vocabulary about certain topics.  The ideas are not very sophisticated at all, but it presents ideas from different perspectives, and provides some decent vocab.  I've been using it to prep for the Foreign Service Spanish exam, and it has proven helpful.  It doesn't cover enough abstract ideas for the 3 level, but it gives enough vocab and grammar to help you get there.
