  Pros

  Good pronounciation.

  Cons

  Spelling, grammar, and boring.

  Summary

  Thankfully I only tried it out. Currently Im studying Spanish on my iPhone instead. Im using two apps called "iCaramba Spanish Course" and "Talking Spanish PhraseBook", which complement eachother very well. Its just great to study whenever I have a moment to spare when going to and from work.

• TERRIBLE PRODUCT BUT A GREAT SCAM

  mgallaghercoApril 9, 2007

  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.

• Ehhh...

  fedburinApril 3, 2006

  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

  nwilson2February 13, 2006

  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.
