Here's your chance to get a taste of the actual ¡Habla!® video program, as well as an interview with a real user of ¡Habla!® and an explanation of how the course works and why it works so well.
We have chosen the RealVideo format for these previews due to RealVideo's popularity. You will need the free RealPlayer to see these videos. If you don't already have it, the RealPlayer is a free download available for most major operating systems at www.real.com.
You may choose to view the videos as streaming content or download them before viewing. If you have any difficulty with streaming (due, for instance, to net congestion) you may wish to try the download option. The video clip will download completely to your computer before playing, giving the best possible quality. The download process does not need to be attended, as you can replay the video after downloading.
These preview videos have been extensively compressed and reduced in screen size to reduce your download time, and so do not accurately reflect the professional, suitable-for-broadcast quality of the actual course videotapes. Performance on individual systems will vary.

Step by Step Instructions for Windows 9X systems with Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers (Procedures for other systems are similar.) 1. You must have the RealPlayer software installed on your system. Many browser installations include RealPlayer; if you do not know if you have it, just click on a link. If nothing happens within a minute or so, and your connection and our server are working, (you can view other pages from our site, for instance) you do not have it or it is not installed properly. In that case, it is a free download from www.real.com. Install as recommended by Real. 2. Click the link to play the video or sound. This will start a data "stream" that will begin to play the video or sound after a short pause. This should work well in most conditions with a 56K or better connection. If the video or sound skips or stops, you may want to download the file. Downloading Clicking the "Download" links will cause the entire file to be downloaded, at which point it will then play and can be replayed at the highest quality (if you have RealPlayer properly installed) even if your Internet connection is poor. This may take several minutes and does not need to be attended. Right-clicking the link for the video or sound you wish to download will give you the option of saving the file to your hard drive. (Not recommended for inexperienced users.)
