Magnum German | Learn to speak German
Today’s German review is Magnum German.
What do I get in this system?
(please note: Magnum German is only available as a shipped product)
- 1 Software CD ROM
- 1 Audio CD
- 1 Story/Quick Reference book
- 30 Levels of grammar
- 28 levels of vocabulary
- Over 100 hours of instruction
- Talking Dictionary
- Voice Recognition
- Auto Learn with progress tracking
- 3 Learning modes to choose from
My impressions:
This review is almost identical to the other MLS software as they use the same software, just focused at another language.
As with the other MLS software, the installation is simple and once installed, using the program is just as easy. the user interface is straight forward and simple to navigate. The Auto Learn feature tracked my progress and I was able to see a graph of my performance by clicking on the Monitor Progress button.
I worked on the speech recognition, learning comprehension, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar skills sections. This program is thorough and follows a methodical structure for learning.
On a negative note, people who want online learning are not catered for as the program is only available on CD.
In conclusion, if you enjoy sitting at your computer to learn a language and don’t mind waiting for your software to arrive, then this package is worth considering. If price is an issue, It is cost effective at only half what most German packages cost BUT it has much less functionally than the others have…
Update: There are two versions, the reviewed above includes a headset and booklet.
