Registered and currently checking it out. It looks like it has potential: I like the
transcripts and the ability to select and practice vocabulary words, but it is a little rough around the edges in some areas -- quite a few words pop up with incorrect translations (typically some of the more difficult words such a prepositions and the like), and some are absent entirely. It's in beta (testing phases), though, like @fomalhaut said, and will probably improve with use and feedback given to the developers. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

When I say Beta, i mean literally fresh out of the oven today. I've relayed all my complaints, unresponsiveness, cluttered UI, unclear level stratifications, etc. to them, but the source of my Leidenschaft stems from simply; It incorporates so many different skills together in one interface

It appears to support (other than English) Spanish, Japanese, Italian, and Portuguese.
I would assume more languages will be added as they can get the programming in place for them. I wonder if they need anyone for translation help? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Certainly has great potential. Looks like a good way to introduce people to using native
materials, which is often advised on this forum. Combining this with a flashcard like system should aid learning. Early days, but I will certainly be using it. Thanks Jim 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I really like that website!
Its just a shame that none of the languages I study are on there, as I checked out the Japanese part and it looked really good, especially the fact that the text is displayed under videos and scrolls as the video progresses. On the other hand, I just contacted them myself and briefly asked them which languages they have planned for future updates - so I'll post my findings here. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This looks really cool, especially since I want to learn Italian. I finished Pimsluer #5
today and my Assimil Italian With Ease arrives Monday. I wonder if there will be an FAQ for someone like me that is a COMPLETE beginner on how to best use this! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like the concept.
I couldn't make heads or tails of it all until I watched the instruction video. The hype was a bit much ... it does have amazing potential, but it will not revolutionize the way you study" or replace all your other programs, and it still has a long ways to go to get out of beta. I watched a few of the Italian videos, and not all of them had transcripts, and even fewer had English transcripts, and most of the words I clicked on for definitions came up blank. I always thought it would be nice to have transcripts of real world videos, films, and songs to work with. This site promises that, and I wish them luck. When my Italian gets better I can see using it as an fun addition to my courses. Right now I'm way too basic, and the site isn't developed enough to handle total beginners! It seems like it'd be better for the intermediate learner, and for them it could be incredible. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
