Talk Now!
Talk Now! is ideal for anyone over 10 years old wishing to improve listening, understanding and spoken language skills. The disc includes nine topics: first words, food, colours, phrases, parts of the body, numbers, time, shopping and countries. The games and quizzes included on the disc ensure that users have fun whilst using the disc, without realising that they're learning.
Each topic contains listening practice, an easy game, a hard game, a printable dictionary and the opportunity to record your voice and hear how you sound in comparison to the two native speakers who tutor the user throughout the Talk Now! course. Each of the target languages for Talk Now! has help available in an additional 96 languages. This means that the same disc for learning German can be used by someone whose mother tongue is English, Swedish, Farsi or Greek etc.
There are approximately 500 words on the first disc - you won't be fluent having completed Talk Now! but you certainly should have learned enough to get by and be understood should you visit your target country.
Talk Now! is available in versions for learning the following languages:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Alsatian, Amharic, Egyptian Arabic, Standard Arabic, Assamese, Basque, Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Breton, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cambodian/Khmer, Cantonese, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, American English, British English, Estonian, Farsi/Persian, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujurati, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Igbo, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Jerriais, Kannada, Korean, Kurdish, Latin, Latin American Spanish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malagasy, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Mandarin, Manx, Maori, Marathi, Mongolian, Navajo, Nepali, Norwegian, Papiamento, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Romansh, Russian, Saami, Sardinian, Scottish, Serbian, Setswana, Shona, Sindhi, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss, Tagalog, Tamazight (Berber), Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh, Xhosa, Yiddish, and Zulu.

World Talk
World Talk is aimed at intermediate level learners who have already built up some confidence listening to and speaking their target language. The interactive games and quizzes will help to further develop fluency and understanding of the language. There are 10 interactive games to play featuring topics such as food, weather, directions, sentence construction and animals.
Once you've built up knowledge with the games, try the TV quiz for a challenge, or the dictation practise to improve listening and writing skills. We know this style of learning works as it's how we learn as children; from constant repetition by parents and other adults. Once you've clicked on the life belt to see what's required of you, then click on the question mark for the repetitive element and you'll be surprised at how soon the different sounds sink into the brain. It's similar to when you visit a country - at first it's difficult to understand anything, but you gradually manage to pick out words until you are constructing more and more complex sentences and improving fluency.
World Talk is available in versions for learning the following languages:
Arabic, Cantonese, Danish, Dutch, American English, British English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Welsh.
