Version: Learn Spanish and Speak Espanol 2.7
"TERRIBLE PRODUCT BUT A GREAT SCAM"
Pros: Absolutely nothing
Cons: where to begin...as useless a program for learning spanish as I've ever seen. That "30 day money back guarantee" sounds great, but you'll have to mail in a letter and pray you get a refund. I signed up and paid them the $45.99 easily online, but when I realized what a terrible product they offer and wanted my money back 2 days later, I had to mail them in a letter asking for my refund (why I couldn't cancel online is beyond me). Becoming suspicious of this company, I sent a certified letter asking for my refund. At the same time I sent a few emails to the company detailing my complaints...I received no reply at all. I called American Express and asked if they had a phone number for Covantis Instant Speak because I could not find one anywhere. Amex gave me the number they had on file...but it is a number that is out of service. A month later after hearing nothing, I just reported to my credit card this is a fraudulent charge and I had exhausted every option in trying to get my refund. I have never had so much difficulty in dealing with a company as I have had with Instant Speak. Be aware of this product and look around for a better alternative, because there are plenty available.

Version: Learn Spanish and Speak Espanol 2.7
Pros: Large vocabulary. Native speakers.
Cons: Numerous spelling errors. Grammatical errors in English as well in Spanish. Money back requires you to mail in request and the subscription is on auto renew. I have seen better programs maybe not as cheap but I am not impressed with this one.

"Excellent program with lots of audio content"
Pros: There are so many courses out there its hard to know which one to choose. I chose this along with the Pimsleur Spanish course on the recommendation of friends at my language club. After using it for three weeks I can say that I love this program. It is very practical and my Spanish has improved so quickly. The other day I was speaking Spanish to a Mexican friend of my cousin who is staying in Mexico and he asked if I was Mexican. It was a great feeling.
