Spanish Before You Know It Reviewer's Comments

*Spanish Before You Know It is still available but we decided not to update the review on this product because Transparent Language includes the program in the Complete Spanish Learning Suite. Below is the previous review of Spanish Before You Know It.*

 

 

Spanish Before You Know It is a flash card program. The version we looked at came with 17 lists of words grouped into sections like “polite conversation,” “seasons,” and “sample verbs.” You can download more lists from the Transparent Language website.

Features:  

This program tracks your progress per word. So as your recognition of a word goes up the score for that word goes up. If you enter the wrong information on a word it will offer that word often so you can learn the correct translation.

Fundamentals:  

Spanish Before You Know It is extremely easy to use, we did not have to consult the help pages to know how to use the software.

Ease of Use:  

This program quickly installed without errors.

Teaching Tools:  

You can contact Transparent Language by telephone or email. This Spanish software also comes with embedded help.

Word Tools:  

This program is simply a flash card program. So you see and hear the word and learn the meaning. However, this program does not offer advanced conversation skills or a record/playback feature.

Help/Support:  

We feel that this program is helpful in teaching vocabulary but would work best in conjunction with a more advanced program that teaches conversation and the conjugation of verbs.

Summary:  

This program is a good flash card program that is a good tool for learning vocabulary but lacks the ability to teach advanced language concepts.
