I read the online reviews of this product and thought it looked good or at
least good enough. It isn't.
The image editing is incredibly jerky and the actors' smiles are downright
creepy when seen time and time and time again! (Were the option available to
exclude the actors from the screen while still hearing them speak, it would be a
better product.)
Though some of the vocabulary presented may be useful, the content of the CD
does not offer much in the way of sentence or phrase help.

I was having a great deal of trouble learning Swedish from books because I
just couldn't "hear" it inside my head. A friend of mine loaned me this CD and
it helped a great deal to get past that challenge. It is a very simple program
and there isn't much depth, but I did find it useful because (as Swedish is
uncommon here in rural New York) I needed to hear phrases to orient myself. The
vocabulary and phrases taught are primarily for tourists. I would rate it higher
if the price were just a bit lower, more in line with it's true value.
