This entertaining, interactive language program helps you practice your language skills. It is intended for a person who has already studied the language on an introductory level, but wants to increase their vocabulary, fluency and word recognition in a more interesting setting. 20 hours of study are squeezed onto 2 CD-ROM discs.
Asterix is recommended for learners aged 9 through adult. Kids and adults can both appreciate different aspects of the humor in the comic. If you already have an introductory knowledge of a language, but wish to practice and learn new vocabulary in an entertaining environment, then you need this program.
I found this program entertaining and interesting. Being able to interact directly with the characters was a more personal, one-on-one style - helpful and much more fun than a dry textbook. This is definitely better for someone who has some introductory knowledge of the language, however, my limited knowledge of French seemed just right for this course. I found myself learning new words and phrases quickly. The combination of visual and audio feedback in Asterix is very helpful. Kimberley Dietemann - MBT Staff
