This product works as claim. Loaded up and works perfect. I have the Hindi and my daughter the Latin. Fantastic; don't brother with any other product. Rosetta Stone is the best. It really is.
I found this CD Rom worth the buy. Doesn't have tons of games with tons of levels, but has very interesting ways to teach children time, geography, left from right, seasons, and a few other things! Just a great buy and I am all about teaching. Anything that is fun and teaches cant be bad and this was definitely worth the buy. It teaches things you just dont find on other games.
My Mother is full blooded Mexican, but never taught us kids spanish. She's not really willing to sit down and teach us as well, so I picked this up to learn some spanish.
Extremely easy to learn and understand. The main instructor through the course has a great accent, and I know, my mother has confirmed this.
The lessons themselves, are very useful. I just took a trip to Mexico, 15 lessons into the course, and was able to use ALL that I learned, in every lesson. You won't be learning things that you will not use (example - lessons start with ordering food, getting a taxi, telling the driver where to go. You will not see lessons on random things or items that you won't need to know.)

I loaded this software on 4 different computers and it would not run. I believe it is because it a very old software and will not run on XP but I'm not sure.
In past years this has been a very reliable company (Broderbund) but if they are not going to support the software they should not be selling it.
Unlike one other commenter, we've enjoyed this game on three separate Macs. One running Panther (OS X 10.3), one running Tiger (OS X 10.4), and one running Leopard (OS X 10.5). Do not shy away from this game because one commenter couldn't seem to run it!
All three of our kids absolutely love this game! It certainly helped our two oldest learn to read before kindergarten (on their own mostly). Our youngest is now enthralled with the game, so we're hopeful he'll follow in his siblings' footsteps.

And it gets better as you become more adept at scrolling through the globe/map. For what it is - and be perfectly clear: it's just what it says it is: a 3D Globe - it allows for a considerable range of information. There's also text about countries and so forth; but the text is extremely limited in that it gives very little geographical data about the countries (such as highest and lowest points and average height). Also, the topography is not as good or as detailed as on a regular atlas (e.g.,it gives no indication of relative heights of mountain ranges). When using the software, it helps to also have an encyclopedia open so as to toggle back and forth to get the kind of detailed information that 3D Globe doesn't have. I'd have given this software ...
