Polish Immersion for Beginners (CD-ROM)

Quickstart Polish Immersion software is designed for you to start quickly and maximize the full potential of the widely accepted method of learning a language - the "Immersion" Method. The learning method is similar to the way you would acquire your own native language. Each word is introduced in a context where meaning is clear and memorable. The spoken and written words are associated with visual images, allowing you to improve your listening comprehension, reading comprehension, spelling, and speaking. You will be authentically immersed in the Polish language with exclusive Panoramic Immersion Scenes and background sounds - mastering Polish in no time at all! Easy and effective for beginners and travelers, a powerful learning tool for intermediate speakers, and a useful refresher course for advanced speakers! Speech Recognition & Analysis Train and improve your pronunciation! Select from over 2000 words and 1200 phrases. The Recording Session with Voice Recording and Visualized Playback Technology enables you to record your own speech and compare it to the tutor's voice to determine your accuracy. Custom Preference Settings Customize the interface to suit your preferences. Choose a male or female narrator's voice. Set preference of single language or dual language (your native language and the language you are learning) for on-screen text display. Choose whether to have background sounds while participating in Panoramic Scene Activities. Native Language Interface Learn to speak using your own native language! Most language software sold in the U.S. requires you to first be proficient in Polish before you can learn another language. Not with Quickstart Immersion! Help and menus, words and phrases, games and tests can all be changed to the native language of your choice.
