This NEW self-tuition and revision course takes beginners up to GCSE level in spoken and written German. It follows the National Curriculum. It also teaches Business German and includes a program that writes business letters in German for you (with a word processor option).

NEW version that runs on Windows 7, Vista and XP is out today. It has Speech Recognition and Video together. Talk to the German actor (video) via a microphone. She understands what you said, and replies sensibly. You can even play spoken guessing games with her. Very easy to use. Your accent can also be analysed graphically, just speak into the headset (supplied) usually.

Also it features a text-to-speech synthesizer with real speech . You can tell the PC 'examiner' in Speaking Test (Conversation) your name and all about yourself, and the PC can check both what you say and how you pronounce it.
