Linguata Italian 4.6

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application may help you learn basic Italian vocabulary, but the demo disables most of the truly helpful features. We like how Linguata Italian aids memorization by letting you associate images with words and change words' size and color. On the plus side, we appreciate the large amount of word lists, including those for vehicles, fruit, and parts of the body. In theory, the program lets you test yourself via a few methods, including sentence building, pronunciation, spelling, and listening. However, as none of these features are available in the demo, you'll have to make do with simply looking at the included words and manually memorizing them. The ability to save lists as a WAV file for later listening is a helpful feature, but again, the trial version only gives you a tiny taste of this feature. Linguata Italian works for simple vocabulary building, but this trial version isn't appropriate as a full-blown language tutor.

From Veneficium :

A practical realistic and fast approach to learning words and phrases in a foreign language, using a combination of sophisticated testing and simple games allowing you the freedom to learn at work, at home and on the move. Recognizing the time constraints that many people are under and that fluency is not a practical goal for most of us, Linguata provides an alternative solution which is to learn words and phrases, the building blocks of language, using a combination of sophisticated testing and simple games.
