Next time you jet off to Majorca for your holidays you could be speaking Spanish like the locals.

Speak Fluent Spanish is a great way to get to grips with the vocabulary and grammar of one of the world's greatest languages.

The software is not complicated. Essentially, it offers a good start for the beginner and will even help intermediate users to expand their linguistic skills.

The user interface is uncluttered and easy to understand with plenty of excellent online help for the difficult bits.

There is more than enough information to help the beginner develop a useful collection of words and phrases without confusing the issue with lots of complicated grammatical rules.

The clever pronunciation guide uses voice recognition technology to listen to students as they say words aloud. The software then comments on the way the words have been spoken with corrections where needed.

The really clever part is the onscreen "voice print" which shows the exact points where changes have to be made. The user can then try to match their voice print to the example on screen.

Speak Fluent Spanish offers a range of easy-to-do exercises and games to help the user remember sentences and words more easily.

Great value for money without being too complicated or expensive.
