Does anybody know anything about Vocabulearn products?

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-1034342-5016021?url =search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vocabulearn+japanese

How are these products? Are the effective? What is their style? Are they merely reference material, or are the interactive courses with modules of excercises which allow us to actively put the newly learned vocabulary to use and reinforce it in our memory? I would appreciate any feedback based on your experiences? I must contemplate whether I will buy this product.

On a more general level, I am searching for a method which enhances the vocabulary in a structured and logical manner whilst employing an active and "full of excercise" attitude. For Japanese in particular, could anyone recommend any programs of this description and of course explain the strengths and characteristics of these programs?

Thanks before hand

Luke

Can someone who owns this series confirm if the books accompanying the "Vocabulearn Japanese" indicate the pitch accent for all the vocabulary items. Thanks~

I have vocabulearn in a bunch of languages. To be honest I have never gotten beyond the first level (some languages come in 3 levels) because the vocabulary lists seem to come in random order. That can be sort of fun for a while, but then gets tedious. I find them best not for learning new vocabulary as but as more for reinforcing vocabulary you may know passively but still not quite sure of.
